Esker Pedals by Framed Bikes One of the great things about bicycles is freedom. Freedom to go wherever you want under your own power. For some that means going wherever you want, whenever you want, wearing whatever you want. Wanna ride the beach in your sandals and swimwear? Go for it. Breaking trail in the […]
ISSI Stomp XL Pedal Review The iSSi Stomp XL pedal landed here in Wales from their HQ in Minneapolis. The Stomp XL is their first attempt at a platform pedal and first impressions are they look and feel great. They are available in four different colours from black, plum, lime and blue.

The ground is covered with white-the first snowfall here in western Wisconsin. It won’t last to be sure, but it does get the heart pumping for fatbike season. Actually, there is no “fatbike season”….the fattys roll all year, as it should be now-a-days. But, the snow does remind us that bikes, clothing and gear need […]
Seven Months ago, I threaded a set of RaceFace Atlas platform pedals onto my Fatback, and it’s probably time to check in and show how they’re holding up! I introduced the RF Atlas pedals in a Product Spotlight back in May 2014. I ride flats all year long and I’ve been kind of spoiled for the last few […]

Sven and I tested out the Heiruspecs – winter grip pedals last week at our Salsa demo and I’ll be long term testing the […]
Wide, light, grippy, and a good feel underfoot. What more could you ask for in a pedal? Durability, maybe, but I’m pretty sure high-impact nylon has proven itself in so many other applications that I have no worries here. I most recently took these pedals on a 100 mile backcountry ride on winter trails through […]
Thanks to our contributor from Rockford, Craig Smith for this test report on a couple of pedals and retentions systems! Here goes: Flat pedals are numero uno in the Fat-Bike pedal scene. Mostly because you can wear your warmest Winter boots, (or sandals for beach riding) and they make it easy to put your foot […]
