Would you like to know more about the principle of the new Truvativ Hammerschmidt function?

Go here, http://www.mel.tugraz.at/lehre/elearning/pg1/pg1.swf How is your command of the German language?

1930s Sturmey Archer technology inside your BB shell!! Revolutionary!

This however, will be a cool application for an” all mountain” bike, and will eliminate the front derailleur and some pedal induced undesirables on single pivot bikes. Feasibility in weight efficiency and cost yet to be determined. This is nothing totally new, there is another front bottom bracket shifting system that is a 2 speed from the Swiss manufacturer Schlumpf at a cost of about $500 http://schlumpf.ch/md_engl.htm (more…)

Well, I have to admit that I am proud of a few of you who came through in our last little push for fundraising. KB reached her goal and was able to be part of the solution in the Relay for Life.

Now it’s my turn. As you know, I’ve joined the Fixed Gears to Fix Diabetes team in the Tour de Cure. We are raising money to help those who are fighting against diabetes. I can’t think of a more nobler cause.

Donate NOW!

Our actions to Stop Big Media are starting to pay off. Now your Senator, Orrin Hatch, could cast the deciding vote to reject an FCC decision that would let tycoons like Rupert Murdoch set the news agenda.

Over the past six months, more than 250,000 people have urged Congress to stop the FCC from scrapping media ownership limits. Late last month, the Senate Commerce Committee took the first step, unanimously approving a “resolution of disapproval” that would reject the FCC’s move.

Soon the resolution is going to be voted on by the full Senate and Senator Hatch could make the difference:

Call Senator Hatch: Save Local Voices. Stop Big Media (more…)

It’s a drizzly day up here in the Polar North. Things have been rainy as of late, which is a hell of a lot better than snowy. So don’t think I’m complaining. As I already stated I’ve ridden three days this week. Three days more than what I’ve been getting in.

I’m afraid the race tomorrow is going to turn into a mudfest. Danny gave me a call yesterday to see what I thought. Most of the snow is gone but it’s raining today and rained on Wednesday, so things are looking awesome for a full on mud wrestling mountain bike race. I won’t be there for various reasons. One, I have to work. And two, Glen hasn’t been back in. I have a strange feeling I was banned from helping on this one. (more…)

Review of Cycling Utah

Posted by Knuckler under Reviews
[2] Comments 

This month’s issue of Cycling Utah is superb. It is rare that you find a publication that so fully expresses the feel of the ride.

It all starts with the cover photo, by Bryce Pratt, of a Mooseknuckler rocking a most famous trail. Kathleen is seen riding a curved section of singletrack on the Goose. But it doesn’t end their, flip to page 20 and you will see a write up about the Goose with more fotos from Sir Pratt and some verbage from Knuckler himself. Scroll down a little farther and their is an amazing write up on commuting in Cache Valley, with plenty of tips on how to stay warm and keep your steed pedaling smooth.

If you didn’t already, check it out.

irst it was the Wall Street Journal. Now it’s Newsday. What’s next?

Last week, Rupert Murdoch announced plans to buy Newsday, his third New York newspaper. (Murdoch already owns the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal and two television stations in this single community!)

We can put a stop to this runaway media consolidation, but first we need to win a critical vote in the U.S. Senate and we expect a vote any day. To do that, we need your help. (more…)
