One of the other mountain bike websites is showcasing the “babes of Interbike” but how about this: The BIKES of Interbike. Here they are in no particular order, free bike pr0n for the addicts. * Updated with more pics!

Allen Sports announced a new GPS-cellphone navigation system at Interbike this week that’s a bit perplexing. I mean, the premise is that The Navigator lets you use your cell phone to navigate while on the bike and eliminates the need for a separate GPS device. But hold on – you gotta bring along the Allen [...]

I talked with a rep from Tag Wheels about their new composite wheel system. The wheels are unbreakable (so far) and they seem like a good choice for downhill riders, jumpers, and extra large clydesdales. These things are super durable but that durability comes at a price: weight. The pair weigh in at around 3700 [...]

I poked around at a few booths looking for the biggest and baddest mountain bike suspensions I could find – and here’s my report. Fusion The Delta Eight front fork has (you guessed it) 8 inches of travel making it a big deal. It uses a custom hub system for max travel and the thing [...]

This morning I attended the announcement presentation for the new IMBA Ride Centers initiative and I gotta say I’m pretty stoked. The idea is that Ride Centers will show off best practices in trail design while making mountain biking more accessible to a wider range of riders. Centers will incorporate world-class facilities and programs for [...]

I got the chance to attend the 2007 Mountain Bike Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Interbike last night and it was pretty sweet (and not just because of the free Singletrack beers). The inductees included Alison Sydor, one of the most accomplished female mountain bike riders in the world and Frank the Welder (Frank [...]

The Bomb-man requested some dope on the Magura Wotan and I was able to snap a few pics and pick up a few stickers. These things are true works of art, though sadly the Fox booth (which was right next door) seemed to get all the attention. Original post by Jeff Barber

If you’re looking for a pro-sumer level mountain bike helmet cam you might want to check out the V.I.O. POV.1. It’s an integrated video capture system capable of recording 720×480 resolution at 30fps. If you don’t know what this means, suffice it to say it’s good, better than television quality. The system is comprised of [...]

I listened in on a demo of the Edge 705 from Garmin this afternoon and there were a few features I hadn’t heard or read about before. The Edge 705 incorporates ANT technology, a wireless protocol developed by Garmin for communication with other devices like cadence sensors, heart rate monitors, etc. The cool thing is [...]
