I'm putting together a schedule/list of alleycat or other such races/events.
This is Part of a larger project but if your planning a race ( or want to plan a race ) get at me. I'd also be interested in helping anyone get some races together, while its wet now it will be spring before we know it.

So me and Tim Tim are going to climb seymour on Sunday. might bring road bikes, might bring fixies. anyone who wants to can come I guess. we will leave Adanac and Cassiar at what, 10 AM?

Over the past few years we have seen the popularity of fat bikes grow exponentially. With the mainstream availability of affordable complete builds from the likes of Salsa and Surly, we are now starting to see a rapid evolution in gear. Titanium frames, carbon forks, more tire selection than ever, and even rumors of a full suspension frame. But the [...]

CX Worlds in Koksijde is a big deal. Like the fucking Super Bowl or something. Next year, it will be held here in the US, in Louisville, a 90 minute drive from my house. Post race, they made a big deal of passing the UCI flag over to the US. I saw these pictures on [...]

cheers

Just wondering if any of you folks have experience with fixed DJ bikes and could maybe shed some light or offer any tips for components? I've been riding pumptracks and such for a while and recently got a fixed freestyle frame/fork that I think would make a fun 26" DJ bike. What shops would be my best bet for building a solid component group and wheelset? Or is this idea totally retarded....any info is appreciated. Cheers.

Which one are going to last?

the list i have is
-bkies for every one(behind foundation 1/2 block)
-whoa nelly. (like a euro coffee shop)
-kissing crows. (up and away)
-hair design(crazy place with frames in the window.)

just off main:
-the cinnelli(?) shop behind super champ. this place is a mystery to me.
-icycle. (also a mystery I just spotted it while buzzing by) beside bike doctor.

and I have already been paid out from insurance. So I guess I just keep the bike? Sucks ass the frame has a crack in it now, and afaik, it is totally not worth it to have the entire bike stripped, heat treated and repainted just to repair. I am basing the process from what Chris from Dekerf told me is involved in repairing it. That sound about right?

So basically, is it a score that I was paid out for my bike, then got it back, or does the insurance co want it or somethihg?

Also, is that about right for repairing aluminum?

We have teamed up with Pioneer Sales Marketing to bring you guys the first DC t-shirt in 2 years. We are really excited about this and I can’t wait to get these out there to you. 20 bucks gets you a kick ass, high quality cotton t-shirt and maybe even a love letter from Dave over at Pioneer. Time [...]

They had a site not too long ago. Now nothing. Are they still making frames? Anyone know?

The Campione website hasn't been updated in a long time, either.

The Chandler BMX park is a pretty amazing oasis of concrete in the desert. It’s right down the street from my work and occasionally I will go for a little “business lunch” to ride it. Flailing around doing straight airs and wall rides can really break up an afternoon of corporate America.  I always see some impressive [...]

STOKED! I just registered for Mohican. This year Gnome is joining me. How fucking rad is that? He will go for the full 100m and I am doing the 100K. I think he will finish before me, regardless of whether or not he goes with gears or SS. Gnome and I keep in touch on [...]

hi there.. I am interested in buying a small video camera and I was wondering if people had some opionins on them.

I started another thread but it knida fell on its face.

I know go pro is the big thing but there is no play back option. not the most importat for me but it is a -1.

I know morgans camera is an amazing video cam in itself but I don't think I am ready for the 500 dolar range digital slr type that also gets me into lens game

I heard of Tommy Godwin's "Year Record" back in 2006. A post on the Mersey Roads 24hr thread on tritalk.co.uk reminded me about it and the Dave Barter at phased.co.uk now shows you daily updates on where Tommy would've been during his attem...

It's been about three weeks since The Bike Whisperer set the Kinesis up to use a midfoot cleat position. I'd love to be able to tell you I now make 20% more power or something but it's not yet possible to tell if there's any performance improvemen...

Just got an email from my buddy AfghanBMXer.  Seems he has been hard at work snapping some pictures of the people on bikes in his “neighborhood”. Not quite sure why his photos motivate me to ride so much, but they do.  Too tired or sore to ride? Bike doesn’t fit right, saddle sucks, bar tape is ripped, cables are [...]

It took me a long time to get used to the bar end shifters on my touring bike, and so something like this looks attractive. However, in practice, I wonder how they feel.

Thoughts, FV?

Back in my college days I had a roommate that had a lot of IF bikes. All steel, all campy, and all with custom paint jobs. We didn’t dare touch them or even think about riding them. But this roommate also liked Guinness beer, a whole heck of a lot. Whenever he would get all tanked on that [...]
