  2. My first thought when seeing the Remedy is, "that's quite beefy, must be heavy". Which isn't that bad of a thing, necessarily. Most 29ers are short travel, skinny, light buggars that you wouldn't want to point down a rooted slope, never mind a muscly beefcake like this. Click here to view the article
  3. You can hardly fault Ashleigh Moolman Pasio’s 2013. In March she claimed both gold medals at the South African Championships in Nelspruit and then bookended her racing year appropriately this week with double gold at the African Championships in Egypt. Click here to view the article
