Fresh Gear: SDG Duster Saddle and Grips

I’ve been a fan of SDG saddles since way back when. I had a red kevlar covered saddle they made back in the day on my dirt jump/ slalom bike for years, and I’ve owned almost one of every i-beam model they’ve made. Since I’ve changed from my i-beam Gravity Dropper post to a Rockshox [...]

Angleset + Carbon Nomad = Sweetness

The Cane Creek Angleset has arrived, and is now in place on the Carbon Nomad. How does it ride? In a word, it’s glorious. Yep- that’s what I said. Installing the Angleset was fairly straight forward, although special care was taken in lining up the top cup with the center of the bike. I started [...]

Tested: Dirty Dog MTB Rotors

Disc brake rotors are one of those parts in the tool box you can never have to many of. Especially when if you like riding extremely technical trails littered with rocks, roots and stumps that all there trying to take a bite out of your derailleur or rotors. Sometimes it only takes one bad line [...]

Fresh Gear: Rockshox Reverb Seatpost

Like many others that have posted critiques of their adjustable height seat posts, I too have a love/hate relationship with the models I’ve run. However, although mechanical issues have ruined a few rides and seriously pissed me off from time to time, I can’t give up on them. Even with their occasional snafus, they’ve enhanced [...]

WTB Silverado Saddle Review

WTB is known for making some of the most comfortable saddles around.  In fact, I’ve been a big fan of the Laser V Team for years. The only drawback for me has been durability. Traditional seat rails and me don’t seem to be a good combination. Lightweight ti rails don’t hold up well to 165lbs [...]

Gravity Dropper Classic Adjustable Seat Post- Long Term Review

After more than four years of abuse (mounted on numerous frames, both full suspension and rigid) my Gravity Dropper  Classic Adjustable height seat post has given up the ghost. And while I’m a bit bummed, and a bit disappointed, I honestly can’t say there are a lot of products I’ve owned this long. It’s been a [...]

Fresh Gear: SDG Formula MT and Carbon iBeam Seatpost

A fresh new SDG Forumula MT iBeam saddle, accompanied by a carbon iBeam seatpost showed up at the door today for review. Sweet. I’ll be frank: I wish more saddle manufacturers adopted the iBeam design. With a single fixing bolt, it is easy to adjust, and the long rail on the saddle is crazy tough. [...]

It’s a familiar situation. You love ripping it up on trails, and enjoy hammering on your trail bike for hours on end. However, after watching some bike videos, a seed is planted, and the desire to step up your technical game and ride more challenging terrain has formed. Maybe it is time to start hitting [...]
