Why should you use a dropper seatpost?
Mountain bikers have traditionally been stuck with a bit of a dilemma: set the saddle high enough to provide proper pedaling efficiency, and lose a ton of descending confidence, or set the post low enough to allow for rad jumps, but then be relegated to standing for all extended pedaling sections. Alas- the dropper seat…
Thinking big
The Pacific North West (“PNW”) has ALWAYS been, in my eyes, a mountain bike mecca. That glory doesn’t just fall towards one particular place, as the area as a whole has so much to offer the discerning rider. My first trips to Oakridge, OR, in 2006 are still among my favorite memories. The amount…

Same saddle, different widths?!
WTB’s Volt saddle is a great example of why understanding saddle width is key in order to find what saddle will be most comfortable for you. Bike seats are a key component to get correctly sorted! I ride a WTB Volt 135 Carbon on my Ripley LS, and a WTB Volt 142 Team on my…
This video cost me $500!
Mountain biking is amazing, and part of why I love it is that it has always, to me, been a fringe sport. As an aging BMXer I’ll always identify with the grass roots beginnings of MTBing. However, in several amazing places in this world, the sport is more than just some weird thing that outcasts…
