Wolf Tooth Components Flexes Engineering & Design Muscle w/ Premium Mark Zero Product Line. According to Wolf Tooth, “This collection is what happens when our engineers can work on items in small batches. Different rules exist when you only need to make 50 of something instead of 500 of something. It’s a green light to spend extra time refining a design, exploring new production methods, experimenting with new materials, tinkering with construction, and challenging everything we’ve learned about cycling component engineering.”

Ten 32″ Bikes in Taipei, Each With a Different Fork, But Still Only a Few Tire Options.  On the mega big wheel front, we surveyed a dozen frames, 10 different complete bike builds with 32″ wheels, and surprisingly found a different fork installed on every one, both rigid and suspension. In fact, even though suspension forks have seemed to be the limiting factor so far in the bigger wheel push, the Taiwanese manufacturers delivered on a lot of what look like more affordable options. But surprisingly, a year after Maxxis broke this all open, new 32″ tires were few and far between.

First Look and First Rides: Latest Fox 38 Fork Gets New Look, Updated Grip X2 Damper, and More. A week ago, we reported on the redesigned Fox 40 downhill fork. Now, the Fox 38 gets the same internal updates, including the Glidecore air spring and new Grip X2 damper, along with increased bushing overlap and generatively designed lowers. Together, Fox claims these updates make the 38 stiffer while reducing friction, making it more supple and responsive, and consistent in appearance with the rest of the fork lineup.

Bedrock Sandals’ New Rockhound Flip-Flop Cinches Down for Outdoor Adventures. Ron doesn’t usually wear flip-flops, actually, let me rephrase that. Ron never wears flip-flops. But he does wear sandals in the hotter months, exclusively Bedrock Sandals to be exact. He's been a fan/customer of the Bedrock Cairne Adventure Sandals since about 2017. And it was for that reason, he said yes when they reached out to ask if he'd like to try their new Rockhound Sandal.

Building Trails and Community at Reno’s Non-Profit Sky Tavern Bike Park. Over the years, the city of Reno, Nevada, has gone by many names. It is most commonly known as the Biggest Little City in the World, and it was once considered the “divorce capital” of the United States. Contrary to popular belief, however, Reno is not a mini Las Vegas. Sure, there are a handful of casinos downtown and slot machines in the airport (some gas stations and grocery stores, too), but the similarities basically end there. Reno is a vibrant and growing community that’s rich with art, music, food, natural beauty, and a distinct culture all its own.

Yeti is Raising Funds to Support Adolf Silva’s Recovery with a custom SB140 Sweepstakes. If you watched Red Bull Rampage last October, then you probably remember Adolf Silva’s horrifying and life-changing crash. While attempting a massive double backflip off a large step-down drop, Silva went down hard, fracturing ribs, his sternum, vertebrae, and injuring his spinal cord. Unfortunately, his injuries have left him with no sensation from the chest down, and since then, he has been adapting to life with a spinal cord injury.
