Watch: FSA SL-K Carbon Cockpit Review

I recently reviewed the SL-K Carbon Wheelset from Full Speed Ahead, or FSA, and loved it.  FSA was kind enough to send me the matching SL-K cockpit set up (handlebar, stem, and seatpost) to match the set, and I’ve put these suckers to the test as well. The SL-K handlebar measures out at 740mm with 18mm of …

Earlier this year, the 2.6″ Maxxis Forekaster won me over for its proficient, playful, and predictable mannerisms. In fact, the Forekaster is going right back on (as a rear) for the summer. Needless to say, I was more …

Watch: Pedaling Innovations Catalyst Pedal Long Term Review

In June of 2016 I did a “first impressions” video on my thoughts of the Catalyst Pedal by Pedaling Innovations.  At the time I was a bit skeptical about some of the claims behind these pedals but after spending a considerable amount of time riding on them in a few different disciples (XC, AM, and DH) I’m convinced that …

A Ripper on a Budget: Niner RIP 9 2-Star SLX Review

Defining the term “affordable” is impossible. What is affordable for one person is astronomically expensive for another. Yet too often, when we talk about affordable mountain bikes, I think we often sell ourselves short based on price point alone. Is “affordable” coming in below a certain arbitrary dollar threshold?
