LONG TERM TEST: ROCK SHOX DOMAIN 318

Specs: 180mm travel, 1.5 head tube, 20mm maxle. Price: $575.00 There's really a lot of options these days when it comes to the 180mm fork market. Offerings from Marzocchi, Rock Shox and very recently Fox, have really given riders a lot more to choose from. On the lower end of the price spectrum, there's really only two options: The Rock Shox Domain 318 and the Marzocchi 66 RCV. Last year, when I was finally fed up with my useless Manitou Sherman, I opted for the Domain. The first thing I noticed was the ease of tuning. Preload and rebound damping were only slightly altered from their stock settings before I was entirely happy with them. I prefer a very soft preload setting, and a moderately small amount of rebound damping, and these settings were dialed in with ease. The key to these adjustments is their simplicity and wide range. When lending my bike out to riders of other weights and riding styles, I could easily return to my settings without the difficulty I experienced wi

2013 RaceFace Mud Crutch review

Installation was super simple For 2013 RaceFace updated and re-released their mud crutch, this new version uses a mylar construction of laced woven elastic, instead of neoprene. Lets be honest, I don't live in England, I have however become over joyed with riding. The past few days I have ridden back to back. Sixty degree highs have melted most of the snow and caused some rather sloppy conditions. Normally I would say not to ride, but these trails drain well and are not damaged by mountain bikers who ride them in adverse conditions. My first ride without the mud crutch resulted in me being completely covered in mud all over my face even with a crud guard on the downtube. I decided that the best test would be to go back out and get rowdy in the mud. I rode some trails that are a bit more local to me, which don't get nearly as muddy as the other ones. After I was done the bike was a bit muddy but I decided to go on some of the atv/4x4 trails. These trails rival

Bikepacking: Jeff Jones Bars, multiple hand positions

A video outlining the hand positions of a Jones bar. I used to run Jones bars on my single speed karate monkey in 05 and have been missing the feeling. They really let you attack the terrain. I also have been thinking about them because of some of the bike touring and bike packing I am getting into. Hand positions this dude just rode the tour divide with Jones bars, proving they are good for going the distance. To give you an idea the route is from the Canadian border to Mexico, over 2500 miles… Jones makes the loop bars, cut h bars, and the new bend ones. Personally I like the loop, as they have the most hand positions. I hope to get a review in soon on these, as they will be making their way onto my mainlander, and eventually onto my Krampus build.
