holy shit

amazing.

Possibly the best idea ever...

Ever have one of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments when you look at something so cool yet so simple?

This is one of those moments.



Goodmorning Technology has come out with something I'm sure just about everyone reading this post is kicking themselves for not thinking of already.



This easily is the most elegant approach to a basket I have ever seen.

Awesome

Give a hipster a hug... and a helmet. I love it.

Two for the want list (part 1 of 2)

Ever since i purchased a new single speed moutain bike this year I have been slowly upgrading the stock components. On the list of stuff to replace since day one was the fairly heavy Truvativ Firex crank. I think I have finally found a replacement.

The Hive's fifteen.G brand has a new crankset coming out later this summer that looks tasty. Much like Zipp did with their VUMA crank concept The Hive have found a way to build a crank around a 30mm aluminum spindle similar to what is used in the BB30 standard but still allowing it to be used in a standard bottombracket shell (like the eccentric one on my Caffine 29er).



Word is they will be under 800 grams and cost about $325. Not bad when you realize Shimano's XTR crank weighs about the and costs over twice as much.

They even have a single speed specifc version coming out... perfect.

Good weekend on the trails for CBC

It was a successful weekend for Team Carytown racers.

Up in Ashland at the Twisted Tire Spring Cup Donna Miller of the U-25 team entered her first off road race and took victory. She won the beginner women's class in clean fashion with a two and a half minute margin over second place. Donna was also the only woman in her race riding single-speed! I'm sure it won't be long before we see her move up to harder races.

In the Expert Vet category Rob Suydam took a VERY close second place behind Michael Hosang. In the end Rob gave up only 8 seconds to the winner.

Over in the single speed category Carytown continued their domination by taking 1st and 3rd aboard their Niner One9's. Ethan Lindbloom took the win with over a 5 minute margin over 2nd. Bill Rider rounded out the podium after he let John Gonyo take 2nd as a reward for stopping to help an injured fellow racer.

Lastly in sport vet men Jamison Baker took a close 2nd behind Trae Duty on his Air9.
