Ninja trails. So stealthy that we didn't see it coming, our trails seem to have transformed over the past fortnight from claggy mud-fest to peachy buffness. It's all relative of course but it feels as though for the first time since November's biblical deluge we've finally got some dry trails appearing.
Not that things are entirely mud-free yet...

Scanning the output on Bikeradar from the North American Handmade Bike Show (NAHBS) is a fascinating exercise as you never know what might appear. Rapha have their 'casual' range of clothing, Paul Components now offer a BB mounted chain device and... Scrub Components have a floating rotor that looks as though it comes with pink detailing. Bliss!

Entering the world bike geekery is almost a right of passage for any self-respecting mountain biker. Self respect is important here, largely because if you take an unhealthy interest in the minutiae of bike parts you can't exactly go around expecting respect from anyone else!
If you thought the Great Tyre Debate™ was the nadir of mountain biking nerdiness though, think again. Some people get worked up about seat clamps...

Did you know that the sky was blue and that there is a big bright thing that sits in it generating heat? You'd be forgiven for forgetting after the awful weather we've had of late but 7 Moles headed out to into the light for a change.

Recently my never-ending quest for bike-related nonsense has thrown up a website which has you shaking your head in wonder. In tapping in to the Hipster zeitgeist it gives a brief but tantalising window into a world I fear sadly we will never inhabit, no matter how many Mongoose Fixies we may moon over.
I'm as bad as the next man in that regard, show me a matte black and lime green 'colourway' and I go all weak at the knees. AndyC usually needs sponging down I think. And to think I used to lust after short travel full-sus bikes with black components...
