The Biking Hub: Mountain

Week 11

I know, I know. It’s Thursday. But I’m taking a long weekend so I can attend to some housekeeping. It’s likely that I’ll post a couple of updates over the next few days and we’ll move back into normal rotation for Monday.

Original content

I started testing a Manitou Minute: 04 and on Monday I offered up my initial impressions of the fork. Tuesday saw another entry in Ashwin’s cross country bike skills series, and it focused on getting your bike up and over obstacles. Guitar Ted continued his discussion of the twenty-niner, looking at the special considerations frame makers had to make when laying out the geometry of 29″ frames.

Elsewhere on the ‘net

NSMB.com posted up some info on the 2007 Devinci Ollie and some 661 protective gear. Mountain Bike Action has a snippet on the Intense Spider 29″er. The Rocky Mountain Slayer 70 is the ‘All mountain’ Bike of the Year according to Mountain Bike Magazine. The Shift Tricycle was named one of the top inventions for the year (2006). Will you make the leap?

Update (24 March 2006): Bike Magazine has a good review of the Adidas Marathon mountain biking shoe.
