I have a feeling that this is going to be good."On December 1st 2010, Red Bull and Freeride Entertainment will release a limited edition DVD documenting this historic event.

Pivot Wins big at 24hr races
Canberra, Australia was the scene of the 24 Hours of Adrenalin World Solo 24 Hour MTB Championship this past weekend. And it's where Australian Jason English pedaled his Pivot Cycles Mach 4 to victory. Not only is this his second consecutive 24-hour championship, but Jason was the only rider to complete 24 laps of the course. You can see the full results here.
Back in the United States, a few hundred people put tires to the red dust, rocks and technical trails at the 24 Hours of Moab. In the Women's Solo category, Timari Pruis laid down 11 laps in the desert to finish 4th while riding her Mach 429 Ernesto Marenchin and Eric Auger each knocked out 15 laps. Ernesto came across the finish line in 5th place, while Eric finished close behind in 7th. Full results for the 24 Hours of Moab can be found here
Big congrats to all our racers!

Pivot Mach 4 Long Termer
Lucky Benji at Singletrack has got his hands on a Mach 4 frameset for a long term test rig;
More photos HERE
He’s going to build it up with various bits over the next few months but the aim is to keep the bike nice and light, with 120mm forks up front to compliment the 100mm of DW Link travel out of the back.
Check the Singletrack website over the coming months for updates.
TRP Dash Carbon Brakes
"Usefully adjustable, controllable, impressively reliable and outstandingly light for the money"

"A mini pump that actually works!!"
It does exactly what it says it will! - Sometimes a rare ocurence - but not with Lezyne products.
Road.cc Verdict; " A mini-pump that actually works, who'd have thought it. Quality all-metal construction means no clackity-clack and a mini-pump that actually manages to get air into a tube rather than wheezing like an asthmatic ant like most of the competition. The Lezyne Road Drive Alloy is a pump we've happily had on our bike for several months now, we've even forgotten where the frame-fit pump is."
Full review HERE
Grippy, tough and is a classic flat for a reason!
"The V12 has been around a long time now and it’d be fair to say that this pedal (and the cheaper, non-cartridge bearing V8) helped bring to the masses the flat pedal revolution the Shimano DX started, with the move away from bearclaw style pedals to the pinned versions of today. The V12 has been tweaked and tightened over the years (a bit like Madonna) and the pedal today uses a magnesium body to save 100g of weight over the alloy version but still uses the same sealed cartridge bearing and bushing design as always and we’ve not had any play in them yet. The axle is cromo steel but if you want to save even more weight then you can get a pair of nitride coated and golden coloured Titanium axles that’ll shave an additional 80g from the weight and £69.99 from your wallet.
The design is a classic for a reason and the V12 is still an excellent platform for descending and pedalling uphill. The magnesium body is tough enough to survive and grip is good, although this is in part down to the extra long screw in Terror Pins (£3.99) this set are fitted with that really dig into your shoes, although the extra length means they can be more prone to damage and then harder to remove. The tapered shape means they’re good at shrugging off strikes without stopping you dead however. There are plenty of colour options available, although we reckon the understated grey finish with blingin’ gold cap works well. It’s only when you compare them against the latest super thin pedals that you realise the advantages of a low profile platform in helping prevent your feet rolling over the axle. To this end DMR have just released the new Vault pedal that’s thinner, lighter and has pins that screw in from the back but still uses the cunning tapered shape."
"Overall: The V12 is grippy, tough and is a classic flat for a reason, but we’re looking forward to DMR’s new Vault pedals arriving which improve the design further."

DMR at Interbike 2010
Photos and words from www.plussizebmx.com
"Tons of new stuff was available to checkout in the DMR booth. The one piece that received a ton of attention was the DMR Bolt. The Bolt is a 125mm travel cromoly frame. The rear suspension design is built around a concentric bottom bracket pivot. Which means that you can run the Bolt single speed or geared. Olly Wilkins has been testing the Bolt and loves it. And If it works for him it will work for you. The Bolt is designed for slopestyle but would be eqaully fun ripping some flowy trails. Also on display was......."

Inside DMR Bikes
Behind Magazine have an article just posted giving an insight to the workings here at DMR Bikes.
2011 Atomlab
From www.plussizebmx.com
"Atomlab was one of the first brands to recognize that big BMX bikes needed strong and light parts. They have been in the scene since there was a scene. If you don't run Atomlab stuff someone you know does. At Interbike this year Atomlab was showing off all of the new colors of the pimp and pimplite lines. Atomlab wheels are one of the most popular hoops to roll on. You can go the Atomlab website and build your own custom wheelset. You can choose hubs and different colors for rims, spokes and nipples. Through the magic of the Interweb you can see exactly what your wheel will look like. Go check it out at www.atomlab.com."

"Flat bar Shimano compatible shifting at a great price"
As reviewed HERE on bikeradar.com ; - "If you're running a Shimano compatible 10-speed drivetrain on your flat bar road bike that requires a 2:1 cable pull ratio (SRAM, for example, have a 1:1 cable pull ratio), these new Microshift shifters mean you’re no longer limited to Shimano’s Ultegra R770s costing upwards of £100."

Sneak Peek: Kinesis Crosslight FiveT 2011
"Overall this turns a bike from one that we thought could have been a contender but was let down by a few weak points into what could be an absolute belter. Thanks for listening Kinesis."Full review HERE on road.cc
"The masters of beautiful products" - PinkBike.com
Some nice photos of the new Dirt Floor Drives on PinkBike.com HERE"Here is their new track pump which is designed with a huge barrel to help seat tubeless tyres quickly by pushing a greater volume of air with each shot."
"Three models are available, from one with an all stainless steel construction through to others with varying degrees of wood and plastic in their construction. Handily they can all be rebuilt with fresh seals as the bodies look like they could last a lifetime."
