Original content

This week was a shortened one but we still snuck in a few updates. Guitar Ted got us rolling again on Tuesday, when he discussed the logistics of planning the first Trans Iowa endurance event. On Wednesday, Ashwin served up a comparison of three Manitou forks — the Black Super, the Black 80 SPV, and the 100mm Minute 2:00 — all ridden on the same bike and then compared to one another. Thursday’s writeup was a guest contribution by Adrian Howard and it looked at the way VPP suspension technologies perform, from the perspective of a graduate student in sports science.

Next week, we’ll have a new review from Denise, a new contributor, and a fresh new way of looking at things. Newness all around!
