In my experience the DHR is the best all F/R tire; rolls fast and has good edge and brake control.

Some useful stuff for the average rider and some really useful stuff for actual racers. Also useful stuff for the Type A, super competitive, stravassholes with ego issues!

Wondering if anybody has tried one of these? https://www.sweatgutr.com/ I use a Giro Montaro and stock sweat pads do the trick most of the time, i'd like to try one of these during the hotter SoCal riding season.

This is a question that we get a lot these days considering the mass offerings of coil spring conversions available on the market.

Wasn't it the atherton's that experimented with removing a cog from the cassette as a place for the chain to sit to mimic the characteristics of running chainless? I can't find any pictures on the interwebz.

I got one of the first Super T's in the USA thanks for being friends with Joe B and couple others guys whose names I cant remember now at Marz, most of them came over from Diamondback, so I had a Diamondback X6 with long travel link and super T, so sick! ... more »

Clean Air is also a scam. So are babies and volcanoes. I heard the earth is actually flat also.
