Fabricating a Cheap MTB Hitch Rack A few years ago I decided to start carrying my mountain bike on the front of my Jeep. There's a lot of reasons why I wanted to move it up front... less weight on the tailgate of the Jeep, I didn't like how rear hitch racks wobble around and I didn't like the tire mounted racks. But most of all, it was the chumps on cell phones and bumper riders who convinced me that carrying the bike in the rear... wasn't for me. I spent a few weeks researching various hi... Read More
So a bunch of us when up to Pisgah this past weekend for an Epic. The route we took in Pisgah was really brutal!It's still soaking in how tough it really was... But I had a great time and would do it again in a heart beat! Honestly, I had no idea what we where getting into before we headed out for the ride.

My first real mountain bike was a steel frame. At the time (1994) I really liked the bike and it wasn't bad coming from the first piece of junk I had. But I wouldn't say it was a great bike... more like just a bike, nothing special what so ever! After riding it hard for 2 years, it was beaten up, had some stripped threads in the fixed seat stay cantilever post and the frame had a serious ding in it. So I was in the market for a new frame. It was 1996 and full suspension had been around for a few... Read More
