On Review: NOX Composites XCR-29 Carbon Rims

Several years ago carbon fiber scared most mountain bikers, who tended to think carbon was just for road bikes and too light and fragile for beating on it in the woods.  However, advances in design and manufacturing over the last several years have resulted in carbon components that are stronger, stiffer, and more durable than …

Final Review: Trek Superfly 100 AL Pro 29er

What does it take to adequately review a bike? Some people think a quick leg-over-the-top and a spin around a parking lot is enough to get a feel for a bike. Others take it out for a short spin on the singletrack, logging five miles or so, and then they think they know a bike. …
