AVID X0 TRAIL BRAKES
Following the changes to Taperbore and their manufacturing process updates for the new Elixir 7 & 9 last year, Avid is introducing their new X0 Trail brakes. We spotted these a bit earlier, and now it’s confirmed: It’s a full featured 4-piston brake, but the caliper is about the same size and weight as the original 2-piston X0 design!
Backstory: Over the last couple years, the X0 group has been moving more toward trail and DH with 2×10 drivetrains, chain guides and more. Meanwhile, the XX brakes and Elixir 7 & 9 got got complete revamps. Only X0′s brakes remained untouched. No more.
The new Xo Trail brake is positioned as their “quiver killer” in that it’s for anything from XC to DH, and first impressions suggest it may just live up to that hype…

Behind the scenes at Intense Cycles.
Here is a great look at why Intense frames cost so much, are so great and why I ride one. Made in America folks. Nothing better.

Annual Bicycle Maintenance is Worth the Money
There are many reasons why you should get annual bike
maintenance. A professional inspection of your bike can reveal safety and
performance issues. This list reveals the most important reasons why annual bicycle
maintenance is one expense you shouldn't skip.
Enjoyment - Riding a bike is fun. Riding a poorly maintained
bike is less fun. Unsatisfactory (or unsafe) braking and shifting performance,
untrue wheels, and other issues can really kill the fun.
Safety - Fact: bikes regularly inspected and tuned have a
lower likelihood of chronic failure which could cause serious injury or death.
Worn or corroded cables can break, and worn brake pads won't stop in an
emergency. A quality bicycle repair shop will make sure all nuts and bolts are
tightened to the proper spec and everything performs as it should.
Longevity - I can't find the original source, but there's a
statistic that states something along the lines of bikes available from
mass-merchant retailers last an average of 2 years while bikes from specialty
retailers last an average of 15 years. The point here: bikes aren't disposable
toys. Quality bikes will last longer. Even if you plan to do nothing more than
ride around your neighborhood, you should steer clear of bikes from big-box
stores. Most of these bikes are lower quality brands or models, and many aren't
assembled properly to begin with. Yes, a $300 bike from a bike shop is (at
least) twice as good as a $150 bike from Target. While quality is a factor, I
think maintenance plays into the longevity statistic. People who pay more for a
quality bike are more likely to invest in keeping it running properly.
Save money - Good bike mechanics can find and fix little
problems before they become expensive to repair. For example, bearings in the
headset (steering), wheels (hubs), or crank (bottom bracket) could damage a
bike beyond repair or will need expensive replacement if ridden extensively
when loose or contaminated.
Reliability - For those of you who ride your bikes longer
distances, reliability is important. This is especially true if you rely on
your bike for transportation. Bikes regularly inspected and tuned are less
likely to leave the rider stranded on the side of the road.
Resale value - Resale value is often overlooked. Bikes that
work well, especially brand-name bikes, have a very high resale value compared
to bikes that are inoperable. Inspect your local classified ads or Craigslist
and you'll immediately see that used bikes in great shape capture a premium.
