Lib Technologies T. Rice MTX Snowboard

The T-Rice and the Custom are relatively the same as far as stiffness. The T-Rice is a little wider. I would recommend getting the same size or relatively close though. You don't want to play around too much with that.

Answer to: "Is this bike available in a 3 ring set for 30 gears total? "
Pinarello Galileo Ultegra Road Bike
July 27, 2008
No it is now, only 2 ring.
Most road bikes are going to a compact-double design and shying away from having a triple front chainring. It decreases weight, and almost any gear ranges that you need are available in a 34-50T crankset and 11-23 cassette.

Montrail Streak Trail Running Shoe - Women's
July 14, 2008
These are lightweight and may not endure 4 hours of strenuous running. Salomon tends to run the widest amongst running shoes.
--------------------------
Montrails are known to have a narrow heel, fit snug through the mid-foot, and have a wide toe box. I ran two hours in these today and they were great. It was my body that was suffering.. not my feet! If you need a protective shoe with posting to help with pronation look towards the Hardrock. If you want a softer, light trail shoe.. these are perfect. Hope this helps!
