Bikes, components, clothing, beer accessories and technical issues
I found this article that shows how to make your gloves work with touch screens. It looks cheap and easy. I have not tried this yet but it looks promising. It would be nice not to have to take my glove off to use my Droid.

So I'm already starting to think about Abbie's birthday present. (it's in September) I was working on her 2002 FSR Rockhopper a little this weekend and realized that her bike is beginning to get outdated. I would love to look into getting her a 29er full bouncy, but so far I haven't actually seen that anyone makes a WSD 29er with full suspension. Anybody else know of a company that does?
To many bikes to choose from.......
Should I make the jump to a 29er? The GF Rumblefish looks nice... or should I pick up a Trance, Fuel, Stumpy type full sus.
All I keep hearing is how 29ers are the best.
I will do the majority of my mountain biking at walking purchase and I have no interest and crazy downhill stuff or hitting 4foot+ jumps. I just like to zip around the trails.
My current bike is a Hard Tail with 90mm front shock so I am looking to up the suspension a bit.
So all you 29er riders, is this a nobrainer?
I'm in the market for a new bike. I've been offered a left-over 2008 Trek Fuel EX 7 for $1600 from Bike Line. Do you think this is a good bike for a good price? Feel free to Email me at nicholandrich@gmail.com or call me at 610-533-9482. I need all the advice I can get. Thanks! Rich
I know that most folks who peruse this site aren't necessarily 'in the know' as far as the road and cyclocross world, but there is a product called embrocation that is commonly used to warm up and protect against the elements. Think of it as a warming rub with the added bonus of protection from wind and wet. In any case, there is a new local company producing their own particular brew of cycling rubs and products, so keep it real, keep it local, and check it out. On your next cold and wet ride, you will be glad you did-

I am in need of a new front tire. Preferably a 2.35. I haven't had much luck with the Nevegal's. The knobs on the outside just keep ripping off and again I am left with a tire missing a quarter of the knobs.
So what do you all recommend? Thanks!
I just attended the Park Tool Tech Summit which was an event hosted by Park and a bunch of different manufacturers on how to service their latest equipment. We learned about the newest technology and service on Fox, RockShox, Shimano brakes, SRAM's new XX, Avid Elixers, Hayes and Manitou. Its good to see these companies taking an interest in proper training for shops to be able to help their customers with these new components.
