—-How the bike industry screwed up Plusbikes—- By Bike Nerd
The Trek 1120 isn’t a new bike. It’s been around for a couple of years now. From the time that I saw an early photo of one of the rack prototypes, I’ve been intrigued by the cargo-carrying (bikepacking) capacity of the 1120 and its signature integrated rack system. The 1120 is very similar to a […]
I’ve been a fan of Surly bikes ever since I threw a leg over the Purple Pugsley. I came to love the feel of steel while everyone else was trying everything else. A memory that will stick with me forever is when someone was explaining the benefits of a belt drive to Sov and asked […]

Ah, summer….finally. Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy the family. Time for reunions and trips to the beach. Time for some happy home owner projects and a good book. And of course, shred up some soil at the dirt church and roost some gnar in the woods. But for the next couple months it […]
Plus Stuff From the Second Annual Maxxis Summit at Mulberry Gap Maxxis jumped into plus tires in a big way in recent years and has developed what is arguably the most complete lineup of plus sized tires (at least for 27.5+) of any tire company.
