Why pay $60 for the ZIPP or LOOK logo to be screened on a carbon cage? This carbon cage is light weight and strong. In fact, when I used it on the cobbles in France & Belgium - I felt that it held the water bottle better than my aluminum cage. I wouldn't rule this cage out for XC mountain bikes. Nice touch.

So those of you that are from BC Canada know Sombrio for more than just down hill biking apparel. You know that the unique style of Sombrio carries over to the street, the bar, and sometimes even the shore? We'll we caught on down here in the states, and are stoked to show off the other side of Sombrio. Why am I writing all this, give the steezy apparel from Sombrio some love, and you'll never look back. - Sombrio makes Volcom seem main stream!

Overall this is really a nice cycling cap. It won't fade or get soggy like most of the cotton caps do when you run them under your helmet. Worth the money. Really nice to run under your helmet when it is a little brisk outside.

This bike comes completely built! All you need to do is put on the front wheel.

FYI these are measured differently then most of the other road bars. (the ones on the bike, not roadside bars :-P) These are measured outside to outside, not inside to inside like most other road bars.

Alan & mmadsen2275592 this is a "DH/Free ride" cut jersey. The larger size is made to go over pads. Or if you are a clydesdale cyclist this may be the one jersey that fits loose.

These are the only clinchers I know of that go to 140+ PSI & feel like tubular tires. Seriously, you won't be disappointed.

So I was a bit skeptical, but they do exist...good lids. I was stoked to see the amazing detail on this brim. If you know underground, you know cutter.

Any Shimano techies know if you can "rig" these internally to work with a double?

I could not agree more with Robinsgn2356553.

Remember to size up with Euro brands! As always size up with Castelli, Giordana, & Gore Bike Wear. All are euro inspired & require a good size up from your normal "US size" (Hincapie,PI, and Craft all have "US inspired" sizes)

To all the women that are going to spin class this winter, this is your short. affordable, but euro nice. Same sizing as Pearl Izumi. I bought a pair for my wife & she actually loves them.

When I got this is just re-enforced that Twin six is the master of all things apre' bike. Forget that event T-shirt & rock something that the chicks will actually want to look at. Sorta slim fit, so size up a little, unless you want the guns on display.

I called the customer service & they let me know they have options for selling all the parts to build these up.

FYI these probbably aren't going to show back up here. These jerseys are no longer as GARMIN is the new sponsor. :-)

I understand that fox is not for XC riders. They stayed true to their roots with this one. If you can't pull off "murdered out black" shorts. Don't rock'em.

So I did some research on these & MOST people are inflating these to 145 PSI for regular use. These tires have a very high thread count & they are very supple. Enjoy.

Let's face it, I am not a huge fan of skin care products in general? I used these because they were given to me as a gift. However, I was pleasantly surprised how good they were! Seriously! If you know a bike rider, this is that gift item they probably don't have. I used the crash pack after a nasty spill on my mountain bike.

I got these today. I was excited to see these shipped super fast & came to me as presented without lots of useless extra packaging. Great deal for four tubes. I go through tubes like water bottles. I also liked the fact that the smooth stems are not going to "chew-up" the valves on my pumps. Also, these are great for my deep dish rim.

Who is the OREC? I go by the rules at www.usacycling.org or the USCF/UCI rule book. Where are you racing Iceland?

So I called customer service and the 36 & 60 in the title on these refers to the size of the valve stem. Longer valve stems for deeper dish rims.

Great tires! I road these on Porcupine & Amasaback last weekend. Great tread pattern for all conditions. If you are a slick rock purist, these may not be your jam, but I found that they performed well on my Yeti 575. These floated me through the sandy places & river transition areas.

So I thought that I would give this jersey a whirl. I only buy full zip jerseys & this was exactly what I was looking for. If you are thinking of buying a non-full zip, think again! Have you ever tired to go to the bathroom fast when you are sporting bib shorts & a 3/4 zip jersey with the pockets loaded full of essentials? Good luck with that. Also, this shipped wicked fast to me in New York.

I grabbed some of this white bar tape because it is the bomb. Good luck trying to find white bar tape anywhere else! It shipped fast in time for the weekly crit!

Some draw backs.

1. You have to assemble the rack. The instructions are good, but it still takes about an hour or so.

2. The swing bar does place some pressure on the front break of road bikes.

3. The rack is a little heavy. Taking it on & off of the vehicle is much easier with 2 people.

4. The rear hitch racks are notorious for leaving bikes with road grime after long trips - especially in the rain. (however, they are shielded from summer bugs a little better then the top racks)

5. Locking the bike is questionable. We have to methods of lock down.

a. Light lock down - going into the grocery store - We bought the two additional locks & the snug tight locks. This allows one to lock the "arm" in place over the front tire. This is all fine for keeping the good people honest, but come one. I can quick release the front wheel & get the whole bike free.

b. If we are going on long trips we purchased a 8' long cable with a heavy duty lock. We run this thought the bikes frames & wheels then lock it to the rack - which is locked to the car. Again, this is not full proof, but I don't really care, b/c our bikes are insured & I would always enjoy getting a new bike.

Some things that I like about this rack:

1. The rack has a very nice "not in use mode" where a quick depression of a lever allows the rack to be placed in a vertical position.

2. Loading the bikes is lightning fast! I can load 2 bikes in about 2 minutes. No wheel removal or storage. Also, this rack can handle my heavy duty mountain bike with disk breaks (becoming more & more standard) that most top racks have issues with. Plus I hate removing the front tire on my mountain bike. This is important - going biking takes long enough without taking 15 minutes to load & unload your steed.

3. The rack allows for the movement of the bikes so that you can see the tail lights through the wheels. Also, you can arrange the bikes so that the handle bars & seats don't hit each other. ( a common problem on rear hitch racks)

4. The bikes don't swing at all - or very very little. The bikes are loaded in a very fast solid manner with out additional straps that swing or slap in the wind.

5. If you go for the 2" inch rack, the 2 bike add on is very nice. I think that it even comes with a rear break light that can plug into the trailer lights for additional security. I would do this, but it is not recommended for the 1 1/4 hitch weight load. I have considered doing this because they are usually covering their ass - as some down hill mountain bikes (made for riding lifts) & the growing popularity of electric bikes - can now weigh close to 60lbs each.

6. My wife can quickly & easily load the bikes by herself. She normally couldn't & wouldn't want load then on top of the vehicle by herself. (This is a huge plus)

At a fraction of the cost of Thule & Yakima ski add on - these fit just fine on my Thule rack. Plus these come with locks. The quality was certainly there. I'd recommend these to anyone. Oh, square bars only. :-)

I own a pair of the Castelli bib shorts & they are the bomb! I feel like an Italian stallion when I dawn these babies. Yeah, that is right I rock these on the road! I also enjoy wearing these to spin class & watching the cougars drool when I stand up out of the saddle. I guess they don't realize that there is a mirror & I can see them staring? Or maybe that's their game...those pesky cougars.

Ok, I am not a wierdo, but I have small face for a male. Maybe it is all the aerobic activity that keeps my face thin? These fit my face well, and they don't look like women's either. Great for those small-active faced males.

Bought these for my daughter & was very impressed. The children after her will use these as well. Then I'll donate them to the local climbing gym.

These are the ultimate resort/dirt bag proof telemark binding. You will never break these bindings...ever! If you are totally core & get a little chuckle laugh from resort telemarkers that are just "getting into tele" because you have been into tele for years & fear NO slope on tele boards - THIS IS YOUR BINDING. Cables are for lifts & beginners! Today's fat skis demand super high performance telemark bindings that drive the ski. Also, if you roll with the Crispi 4 buckle boots or any other hard core boot, then choose these & you'll never look back! These are the REAL DEAL for the HARD CORE TELEMARKERS!!!

So I was skeptical. $699 for a GPS / MP3 / Bluetooth / information system? Why not just buy a laptop with a wireless card? However I was pleasantly surprised to find that this thing is UNREAL! I have never found a product that is so easy to use and so convenient! I travel 24 / 7, and this baby lets me know where the good restaurants are and the hotels without having to carry a ton of maps and papers! Combine 8 of your tech toys into one! This thing is worth its weight in gold! If you travel, you'll LOVE the Nuvi. P.S. I got it in 2 days and free shipping! I'll be back to this site.

The ACR PLB is the REAL DEAL! If you think that you are going to call in a rescue using your cell phone - think again! Unless you have a satellite phone. This PLB works everywhere on planet earth! Think about it. If you were in the middle of the backcountry & need critical medical attention the $675 is totally worth it! This is an exceptional gift for an adventurer athlete, or anyone who is getting deep into the backcountry. Can you place a dollar cost on someone's life? The ACR PLB is real "life insurance".

Totally worth kicking down for! Ok, you have wanted it for years and it has arrived! This is a Telemark only DVD that documents the pure lines that you have only read about in couloir magazine. This dirt bag telemark culture film is all about the real free heel scene! A must see for all Telemark lovers! P.S. - You won't see any Nissan trucks, Chevy Trucks, Resort plugs, or hear any cheesy 60 year narration like, "you want your ski, go get it!" (That was funny the about the first 100 times Warren.)

I ate these & I literally was able to fly! Ok, not really, but they made one hell of a good snack on the way to a trail ride, and I didn't burp up little pieces of it the whole ride like I usually do with "the other bar". These are pure goodness packed into a satisfying bar. Not like those little "snack sized" bars that one can buy at the grocery store. These bad boys fill the tank.

So I am not one to conform to the branding of coke & pepsi (Y & T). So, I thought that I would give this Japanese ski rack a shot. The quality is great & they slide out, so I don't have to climb up on the roof of my ride to throw the twins or the board up top. Also, the price was right, and these showed up in the hands of the "fat brown man" right away.

Not to sound like a certain Hilton gal. But these are So Hot. I could not resist!

Eyewear done right. Not only are these bad boys stylin' but the optics is perfect. I bought these on a whim and history of owning great Fox products. They did not disappoint. Don't be another "Oak Head" move to eyewear that IS.

I have been rocking these cuties for a while now. I can't believe the simple comments that I have gotten. People always respond "Hot glasses!" Leave Prada & those other sunglass brands to the mothers. Bottom line....these glasses are for girls that just want to have fun!

I had been looking for these for a while. I could not find them anywhere! This site had them & shipped them right away to me! Ahhh...Yeah.. just what I was looking for!

The are absolutely great - nice and simple. I bought these for my little one to wear while in the kid carrier and in the baby jogger. My children both have high sensativty to light. Not as much crying, I guess this made the outdoor experience much more cofortable for her.

Sticker shock - ok we have all been there. I bought these on a whim - thinking that you get what you pay for! I could not have been more RIGHT! Kaenon eyewear is unreal. The clarity beat my polarized Smith & Oakley's by far. Kaenon is not for the casual want-to-be eyewear user, and the SR-71 polarized lens is amazing. If you are only going to put these on your head & go out on the town - then buy another brand. If you are a hard core optics aficionado, then Kaenon is the way to roll-out! Kaenon eyewear is simply the BEST!

Cedar City, UT ­ July 19, 2006 ­ A Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) has again played a significant role in the location and rescue of an outdoors enthusiast: this time a novice woman climber near the Brian Head ski-resort in Southern Utah.
The rescued party was a 47-year-old New Jersey woman, who fell and sustained serious head injuries while hiking and climbing with her family on June 3rd.
Her brother, an experienced climber and a local physician from St. George, Utah, was carrying a TerraFix(tm)406 GPS Personal Locator Beacon, which, when activated, put into motion a Search and Rescue (SAR) operation that eventually led to her being evacuated by helicopter.

Michelle Kline and her husband, Steve Bartolett, 49, were tethered together while alpine climbing about two miles from Brian Head. Bartolett lost his
footing, fell and slid down a steep slope. Kline could not hold the weight of her dangling husband and she was pulled over a cliff edge 50 feet onto rocks below and out on a steep snow slope. Bartolett was bruised and sore but otherwise all right after the rope between them broke.

Fortunately, the couple was accompanied by Kline's brother, Dr. Michael Kline, a highly-experienced outdoorsman, and his eight-year-old son, Austin.

Dr. Kline, an internist specializing in pulmonary disease, rapidly climbed down to stabilize his sister, who had struck her head. Upon reaching her, he determined that her situation was grave and imminent, and that assistance was needed. He directed his brother-in-law to activate the TerraFix(tm)emergency locator beacon while he hiked out to summon help.

While the satellite call for help was acquired and processed by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Dr. Kline located two forest rangers, who called 911 on their cell phone. The police, who received notification and GPS coordinates courtesy of the Satellite Aided Tracking
(SARSAT) System Rescues-One monitored by NOAA, dispatched the Iron County Search and Rescue (SAR) team to respond.

Charlie Morris, SAR Commander for Iron County, said because of the very steep (elevation 11,307 feet) and difficult location where Kline was lying, it took roughly two-and-one-half hours for the SAR/EMS crews to physically reach her, then another three hours for a helicopter to be located and properly outfitted to airlift her to a local hospital. (Due to the severity of her injuries, she was transferred to a trauma hospital in Las Vegas.) She suffered multiple skull fractures and a broken vertebra in her neck.

Dr. Kline purchased the TerraFix(tm) two years ago because he often hikes or climbs alone. Even though he never thought he would have to use the emergency locator beacon, he always packed it in his backpack where ³it
lives² alongside his first aid kit. He's pleased that he had the beacon on this trip. "It worked out great. Search and rescue said it made a big difference in their response coordination. They said it got them going earlier even before we placed the 911 call."

As for his sister, Dr. Kline had her out walking on a local trail a weeklater.PLB rescues on land have only become available since a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) waiver ruling went into effect July 2003approving the sale and use of PLBs for land use in the United States. Having critical knowledge of the climbers' location minimized the expense of operating the helicopter and the efforts of the SAR crews. The beacons mustbe registered with NOAA and they must be used responsibly.

Ok, manly men. We can all agree that these are a bit "metro." However, I finally found a shoe that I can rock all day in the concrete jungle & not have my pupps barking at the end of the day. Also, if you live anywhere near the mountains these are a must have for all occasions. These go great with brown pants & a windproof fleece. Don't balk at the price, these will last longer than any other piece of footwear you own. Great for going to the bar in the winter, leave those dirty hiking boots at home.

Great style piece. Very "mountian sheak". Don't show up to the mountain watering hole with out it!

These get it done. If you have a small face size, these are ideal. The visual area is tight, so these are not for sports, but great for simply sporting to the bar.
