Passion is fully adjustable

Posted by Charles Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:10:00 GMT

Crank Bros Joplin RCrank Brothers has started shipping their long awaited Joplin adjustable seatpost. These are the newly licensed telescoping posts using the Maverick design and technology to give you 3” of infinitely adjustable range of motion.

I use mine in roughly three positions. Full height for road riding to the trail, a half inch or so lower than that for trail riding, and another inch or so lower than that for rolling things and drop offs. I guess I also hammer down the full 3 inches to hit a jump.

We are stocking these now in 30.9 Lever, 30.9 Remote, and 31.6 Lever. We also still stock the Maverick version of the Remotes and Levers called Speedball.

2nd Anniversary Demo Days

Posted by PeterD Tue, 18 Mar 2008 04:41:00 GMT

Flying TomThe event went off well. The weather reporters were wrong when they said we would get rain on Saturday – we got just enough Friday night to make sure the trails were dust free, but not so much to make things muddy. Good set of photos and comments showing up on MTBR (though I am copying some of the better ones over to this post).

Thanks for everyone who showed up! And special thanks to folks like JohnH, Justine, TomR, MichaelP, and others who chipped in to help.

Google Maps for Bike Commuters?

Posted by PeterD Sat, 01 Mar 2008 18:21:00 GMT

I have been using Google Maps for driving directions for a while, and find it to be quite useful. But it really doesn’t help when you want to bike commute.
