Pacenti TL28 / Hadley

here's a review of the Pacenti TL28 and Hadley wheelbuild that we did for Bike198 a couple months ago :  http://bike198.com/review-pacenti-tl28-26er-mountain/

The TL28 rim is offered in 29 inch, 650b, and 26inch options. Wide and light is the theme and certainly convert to tubeless too if that's your cup of tea. Give us a hollar to discuss your next wheelbuild.

Who left the water running ?

Bitterroot river, snowmelt. Isn't it too early for spring?

road trip to wyo

  Fresh off a trip to Wyoming with good pals Shrek and BG.....My first snow bike race at the Togwotee Winter Classic was a grinder to remember and the wintery/blustery conditions certainly kept things interesting. At least for the near 5 hours it took me to complete the 25 mile route. A few tips picked up along the weekend too with all the consummate winter biking professionals that were present, and everyone brought something unique to the table in terms of setup and dress attire...most noteable and important were the lessons learned to keep my water from freezing. Also a huge thank-you to Dave Byers and the fine folks at Fitzgeralds for throwing such a fun event and for being great hosts. Hope to return next year !

Ccdb air

just a great saddle

obviously we're big Chromag fans over here, they've got a fantastic line of mountain bike components and frames. Well, it's no secret that their saddles are killer too.......we've been selling them successfully for a few years now. The Trailmaster DT has probably stood out above the rest in terms of comfort. Their perforated leather saddles combine the right amount of comfort and style that could easily be mistaken as something manufactured 30 years ago by San Marco , and now....Chromag cranks the styling up another notch with their Trailmaster LTD....$135.00 , a timeless aged leather look and titanium rails.



to order......call or stop in.

marias pass avalanche

reportedly triggered by two snow bikers

news from the Daily Inter-Lake: Snow Bikers caught in Avalanche 

haven't heard much of the details yet, and not exactly sure how the avalanche was triggered by the bikes. But my condolences go out to the family and cycling community of Cut Bank. Be safe out there folks.


EDIT.....found out that snow bikes means converted motorcycles, front ski and rear track like a snow mobile.

must resist the urge to play hookie today. Wondering why ?  Just hit the Ski Lost Trail tab on the right and you'll see that our favorite ski hill just got a 36" dump. Powder thursday is going to be epic and i hope a few of you get some turns in today. Me......i'll be faithfully here, tuning your bikes and wheels....uugghhh. : ) 

And for those of you that have to work today, stop on in and a coffee is on me.
