Banked turns are more fun
Trail #6 is a new addition to the network of trails in the Yacolt Burn area, known as the Cold Creek Trails. Featuring a bit of everything for all types of riders and disciplines, the trail system is renown for its shuttle-friendly downhill trail Thrillium and the “all mountain” slash enduro style trail, Cold Creek. […]
I hate being cold, whether its on the bike or on the couch. Winter is coming, and with days already short, our efforts have been to acclimate to darker and colder outlook. Lucky for me, reps for Pearl sent over the Summit AmFIB Pant, Pearl’s warmest MTB pant, with more ample time to prepare for […]
We like wearing belts and never leave the house without one. The Fix All Time belt adds a heap of utility to the traditional belt by integrating a useful multitool into a unique buckle they call the Payload Pocket. Wearing the Fix belt means you’ll always have a tool on you for minor bike adjustments […]
The Crud Mk3 Roadracer Full Fenders are the best road bike fenders I’ve ever run. I don’t think I’ve ever straight up claimed that sort of thing when it comes to reviews. However, having tried quite a few, and installed far more than my fair share during my tenure as a bike mechanic, I feel […]
Do you need to know how much your bike weighs? Maybe not, but light bikes are easier to move around, which can make them more fun. Plus, when it comes to dialing in a home bike shop, an accurate weight scale like the Feedback Sports Alpine Scale is a nice addition to any workshop. The Alpine […]
A lot of us carry a bit of sealant on long rides. I usually add a Leatherman tool or something with a needle nose plier so I can remove the valve core in the field. The Skek Cycling Lifeboat Tire Lever solves this problem, integrating a tubeless valve core remover into the tire lever. Featuring […]
Confession: the cable routing on most the bikes here at the Bermstyle HQ look like utter shite. I often leave cables long as it feels like I’m constantly moving things around and swapping out components. (I also never have free time between the day job and all the side hustles) It doesn’t mean I’m […]
Golden Eagle Park in Hood River is the site of one of the newest asphalt pump tracks in the state of Oregon. Designed and constructed by VeloSolutions with the aid of the Parks District and the Hood River Area Trail Stewards, the paved pump track is designed to be long lasting without the constant maintenance […]
There was a time that a tire like the Honali was referred to as a hybrid tire. It used to be a challenge to find something that was tough and reliable, but fortunately the road bike world has evolved. Adventure bikes and gravel bikes are the big thing but more importantly, it means there a […]
Last year the folks at Fizik changed my perception of XC specific MTB shoes with the M6B Uomo MTB shoes. A pairing of utility and performance, the utilitarian model is set at a reasonable price point. More importantly, they were light, durable and comfortable, transferring power through the entire foot as opposed to through one […]
Side load bottle cages allow easy access to bottles, even in frames with a snug fit. Lezyne’s Flow Storage Cage adds an integrated storage container below the cage, plus adds two CO2 cartridge holders to both side of the cage. Available with and without the storage cage loaded kit, the Flow Storage Cage sells for […]
Whether you’re a casual or hardcore commuter, road rider or trail rider, it can be hard to motivate when the skies turn dark and gray. Personally, I can handle being wet or cold, but I hate being wet and cold. This year though, I’m going to go back to trying my luck with riding pants. […]
