    Ty Hathaway, a tall, soft-spoken Californian who co-owns a bike shop in Los Angeles, has made a life of things on two wheels. He’s been photographed for BMX magazines enough that he’s forgotten exactly which ones — and which issues. He’s been featured in clothing and helmet ads on road bikes. His Instagram feed is a visual catalogue of seemingly constant bike trips with like-minded friends. And in 2014, Hathaway re-discovered mountain biking and took on the rugged Trans Provence stage race in France, where he finished as the top-placing American. And his mountain bike jones was re-lit.

    When it comes to braking power and control, we believe in freedom—options. We believe that there should be an absolute best solution for every type of rider and every kind of ride; that there really isn’t a One-Size-Fits-Most when it comes to brakes. That’s the concept that led us to the development of Level, a new brake designed for the needs of modern cross-country and trail riders. Click here to view the article

    Need some help!!! Trolled the net to death, but not able to figure out the differences between the 1x11 and 2x11 SRAM GX rear derailleurs? Yes you get two versions, never expected it: https://www.sram.com/sram/mountain/family/gx http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/sram-gx-1x11-speed-rear-mech/rp-prod135897 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/sram-gx-2x11-speed-rear-mech/rp-prod135898 After looking at the SRAM tech docs, it seems that the 1x11 is only avail in a long cage version that makes sense, but apart from that, what is the real world differences, will a 1x11 unit work on a 2x11 setup. As I see it , it is as easy as the rear derailleur should just be able to shift 11 gears. Shimano only has one 11sp Xt derailleur, why does Sram need 2? Looking at GX 2x11 crank + 104bcd single chain ring, 2x11 front derailleur, XT 11-42 cassette (due to XD driver), xt chain, SRAM GX shifters, but the rear derailleur is the Q? The above will enable me to experiment with a 1x11 setup and still be able to change over to a 2x11 setup for the days that you start at the back and need to work your way thru the walkers on the hills, or help to get to the end of the TransBaviaans.

    Given the amount of time that most of us spend looking at our handlebars, it's no surprise that we appreciate a tidy cockpit. Happily, companies like Shimano and SRAM agree- and have provided for accessory mounting in their brake lever designs. Click here to view the article

    What makes French mountain bikers so fast? Is it the air? The mountains? The cuisine? Is it the fact that there are about 1,000 varieties of French cheese? Their ability to invade neighbouring countries to shred awesome trails? Click here to view the article

    Hi guys Looking at beautifying my wife bike a bit (Cannonade Scalpel), and a minor upgrade. She's running SRAM Avid Elixir 5's atm, which is also integrated to her X9 shifting levers. I'm looking at upgrading to either Elixir 9's or a total change to the Hope Tech 3 V4's. On the Sram Avid Elixir 9's I want to anodise the actual lever and the clamp. On the Hope Tech 3's I will anodise the lever and the reservoir cap. Has anyone removed a lever from the Elixir 5 or 9's, the holding pin looks permanent. I have a set of pink Jagwire brake lines on her Elixir 5's atm, so if I went Elixir 9's then it is a straight transfer, they use the same fittings from what I can see. If I went Hope Tech 3's then it is a total rip and replace. Logic tells me to go Elixir 9's, Whats everyone's experience with them. G

    He knew what he wanted: big, floaty jumps in the ideal location and with the perfect slope and sublime dirt. So when he saw an opportunity to build his own slopestyle course in the Coast Gravity Park, Logan picked up some tools and started sculpting. A colossal build like this is never a one-man endeavour, though. Logan’s vision was made reality with the sweat and skills of machine operator Darren Hemstreet, The Coastal Crew and his dad. And when the machines went quiet and the dust settled, it was time to capture on camera what Logan means by big and floaty. This is The Backwoods - Logan’s Peat’s dream set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2qL9LWaksc Click here to view the article

    The new SRAM X0 DH hubs are built around strength and durability. Our 52 point ratchet design gives you quick and reliable engagement. The X0 hubs are built with precision machined bearings giving you lower resistance, faster revolutions and no wasted time on drag. The hubs are also convertible to different axle types with removable end caps. From pawl tooth to spoke flanges, we took the extra time on the X0 DH hub so you won’t have to.

    With revolutionary advancements in bicycle componentry, like SRAM’s XX1, X01 and X1 drivetrains, mountain bike designers have been given almost limitless freedom to focus solely on the performance of the bike. Each advancement demands that the entire package works flawlessly. Aggressive trail and enduro riders have been increasingly enjoying the benefits of larger wheels, but many still view 27.5" and 29" wheels as a possible weak link. Which is why SRAM has developed an open standard with Boost compatible components for SRAM drivetrain, hubs and RockShox forks. Click here to view the article

    SRAM recently released the Guide family of brakes that supercedes the Avid range of brakes. SRAM claims its been designed from the ground up to essentially address all the long standing problems that plagued Avid brakes. I recently received the RSC model to find out if SRAM has succeeded.

    I am in the process of replacing chain, cassette, chainring on XX1 and it is damn expensive vs XX (using XT cassette and XT Chain). Any other worth while options that I can consider to make the maintenance cost cheaper on the 1x11 setup (wolftooth, XG1180 cassette, KMC chain)? I bought the bike second hand and the parts were already worn, original owner did not change the chain, so it was unfortunately to late for just a chain swop. Can any of you XX1 riders give me a prediction on the lifespan of an XX1 cassette if I do a regular chain swap?

    Good day MTB enthusiasts I have noticed an increase in interest among MTBers wanting to go the 1x9/10 route. Myself and a mate have taken the iniative to do some research into manufacturing our own Narrow Wide chain rings locally to try bring the price down and make a little money in the process. Initially, we will only manufacture 104BCD 32T chain rings. These seem to be the most popular. They will be annodized to increase the hardness. The chain rings will be cut out of 7075-T6 Al which is the same aircraft grade alu used for SRAM xx1 chainrings. If all goes well we will start to introduce more variations to the market. (30T, 34T, 36T and so on...). Hopefully some SRAM versions later on as well. If sufficient interest is shown, we will go ahead with an initial order. We are trying our best to get the chain rings onto the market at under R500. Please leave a comment on this thread if you have any questions or send me a PM if you are interested.

    I am in a unique position in having the difficult task of choosing between the three*... Di2 is awesome when it works, but if it doesn't, you're stuffed. Perfect shifts day in, day out. It does also have a weight disadvantage. Practically maintenance free apart from charging the battery and lubing the chain. Force22 is light in comparison but settling in will occur and adjustment will be required. Cables and housings will need to be changed every so often. Edit: Athena EPS has emerged as an option now too. Middle ground between the two groupo's and is Electronic... And more importantly, it's Campy.
