Published Jun 2, 2009 at 12:09
To all riders in the Chilliwack/Columbia Valley area!

Recently we were filming up on a local riding hill when we came across something that disturbed all of us greatly. Tree's, burnt to the canopy, smoldering with moss. Please, who ever is lighting tree's on fire on Slessy Mountain STOP, before we are missing our trails, or worse the residence of that hill.

Claire missed the first day of practice due to still being stuck with the flu, then a big crash in practice on qualifying day banging her knee up pretty bad, didn't do much good for her confidence. She still managed a 17th place for the day which was pretty good considering.

Statement by Natural England about Steetley Downhill

Published May 20, 2009 at 10:21
We do not set out to spoil people's fun and we try to balance the needs of the environment and wildlife against the use and enjoyment of the countryside by the public. However digging up a SSSI to construct trails and jumps, creating pits and large areas of compacted soil and holding competitions that leave large amounts of litter is absolutely unacceptable and against the law. I am sure that no rider seeks to destroy the countryside that you all enjoy and Natural England are not out to spoil anyone's enjoyment of downhill riding but this site now needs to be restored and the habitat protected.

Published May 19, 2009 at 16:41
Gamut USA is a San Jose based chain guide company that has been making a large splash on the market. Gamut's chainguides are very minimalist, and designed to work correctly with limited adjustments. Gamut has gone as far as to design chain guides specifically for chain ring tooth counts, not only to work perfectly, but to be as light as possible too.

Gamut designed the P30 guide to work specifically with 36 tooth chain rings, and that's what our team riders are running, so check out the CUSTOM Pinkbike.com guides we're rocking this season!

Published May 11, 2009 at 10:23

Nuke Proof Warhead Stem and Bar - no lead required.

Published May 7, 2009 at 12:57
If you rode mountain bikes in the early to mid 90's, then you probably remember the carbon shell hubs from a small company named Nuke Proof. Times have changed that small company and thankfully they are no longer making those exact hubs, but have spread their wings a bit to create a whole component line up. From bars to rigid forks to headsets to non-carbon hubs and everything in between.

Here we want to show you the bar and stem combo that we put onto a recent build up...
