Smells like UPDOG?

Checked out Lance Armstrong on Friday along with Mark Burnett, Peter Guber and other great speakers... Hey Lance, what's up dog? Great day.

Tu-BE or No(t) Tu-BE

Ok, that title is a little weak. What I am trying to talk about is going tubeless with your MTB tires. Do you love tubeless already, or are you still wondering if its worthwhile to change? You may know that going tubeless saves weight and allows you to run lower air pressure, but do you also know about puncture resistance when you use Stan's Tubeless system? Check out these puncture tests, including the "Path of Death" puncture test (video), not for the weak stomach :) Check out www.notubes.com and talk to us for more info.

Kryptonite Lock Exchange?

KRYPTONITE OFFERS FREE PRODUCT EXCHANGES TO ALL CURRENT OWNERS OF KRYPTONITE TUBULAR CYLINDER LOCKS. If you currently own a Kryptonite tubular cylinder lock and are concerned about the security of this lock, Kryptonite will exchange this lock for you with a comparable non-tubular cylinder lock. This announcement is likely in response to recent articles that their bike U-locks can be simply picked using a ballpoint pen... check out one of the articles here. For more info from Kryptonite, and to participate in the exchange program, click here. Kryptonite reports to expect locks to begin shipping in mid-October.

Buying a bike from Super Mart X..

"...the process of buying and maintaining [a bike] is worlds away from buying lawn furniture, which is exactly how the mass merchant treats the process." Our X-wrench Colin sent me this article (thanks!) Did you know 13 million bikes were sold through mass merchants in 2003? The authors got to wondering how does the average consumer go about buying these bikes, and then went on to find out first hand. Hilarious.
