Kinesis DC19 Cyclo-cross / Urban / Touring fork
While building up my dream cyclo-cross/touring bike (with a Yeti ARC-X frame) I decided to break the mould a little. I opted for a front disc brake (the Avid BB5 mechanical disc brake) rather than the more traditional cantilever brake to avoid brake shudder, get more braking power, better modulation and lastly because it would look pretty trick. This left me with a bit of a search for a suitable fork…Full review HERE

Flying Ferris on his DMR Bolt
An awesome picture of Duncan Ferris our DMR UCI 4X rider from last weekend’s DH race.
Riding the new DMR Bolt frame and Reynolds Carbon wheels.
NEW 'GF_Ti' EXCLUSIVE FIRST PICTURES
Here are the first ever pictures of the new Ti frameset I have been working on. It's our first Titanium frame.
It's designed for a lifetime of comfort and distance and takes full 'guards and standard drop calipers.
The 'decals' you see here are paper and the final design will no doubt differ, but it gives you the idea of the look and feel.

Tim Gooden back on his bike!
I saw this on PlusSizeBMX.com............... "Team PlusSizeBMX and DMR rider Tim Gooden was with us on our recent trip to Las Vegas. This was Tim's first time really riding since breaking his collarbone a couple months back. He showed no signs of the injury slowing him down at all. Tim went big every chance he got. You will see more when the trip edit is done this week. Thanks to BLK MRKT rider and Photographer Kalin Law for catching this pic.

Core Bike 2011
Core bike is only a few days away now.“Upgrade is to reveal, at Core, three new brands in its portfolio for 2011: Cycloc, Freedom by WTB and Speedfil.
With the growth of urban, commuter and leisure cycling, WTB has launched the Freedom range. Starting with tyres, saddles and a fixie style grip, the range will build to offer a great choice of products. Freedom and WTB have a strong ethos of supporting the development of safe cycling facilities and the use of bikes as transport, something Upgrade will join in through supporting like-minded projects.
The range includes road-based tread patterns for the urban (and country) cyclist, from the Thickslick bald, but grippy compound to the Cruz range of tread pattern ideal for wet weather, the compact range of four Freedom models, offering dealers enough tyres to satisfy the majority of customer requirement.
The revamped Cycloc bike storage pod is now made using an injection moulding process and the 2011 version comes with a 55mm spacer to move the pod away from the wall for bikes with wider handlebars, plus a host of other features. The Speedfil Hydration System, meanwhile, is a revolutionary product enhancing athlete hydration and aerodynamics.
Lezyne is going strength-to-strength too. The most talked about new lines are the CO2 mini pumps called the CFH range and the Dirt Floor Pumps. But there are other new products that you’ll need to come see at Core Bike. There are many other brands to peruse and fondle when you come to the Upgrade show room too, of which DMR, Reynolds, Kinesis, Microshift and Effetto, are just a few!”

Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HV Pump - MoreDirt.com
HTC-Highroad (sponsored by Lezyne!) win sprint
HTC-Highroad sprinter Matt Goss took 1st in Sunday’s Cancer Council Classic, adding another victory to the team’s 2011 season. Goss started the criterium in Adelaide, Australia as the top favorite. His victory was compounded by his team-mate and lead-out man Mark Renshaw finishing second to take the top two podium spots. With this win along with 2 stages and the overall at the Jayco Classic, Goss’ season is off to a brilliant start.
These are all great signs that Team HTC-Highroad will be a major player in the Tour Down Under starting this Tuesday.

"pimp tools for your pack"
"These spankingly nice tools from Lezyne have just arrived to go in my EVOC pack and will be included in the upcoming video ‘Bag-Cast’. All super light and super shiny there are a pair of alloy tyre levers and the world’s blingest multitool, the Lezyne Carbon 10. I was hoping for a Carbon 10 for my birthday last year or maybe Christmas, but no one bought me it, so I thought I better get one myself. Things like this cheer me up no end when I’m covered in mud and flailing around on a hill somewhere sorting out a mechanical. Thanks to Upgrade who distribute Lezyne as well as other top brands in the UK."
Lezyne Review
"such is the ease with which the floor drive effortlessly works, i was rummaging in thewashingmachinepost bikeshed for other tyres that might need a few extra pounds of air pressure. "
