I gess most XC people would do this anyway but for you people that think that MTB are the only way to go, note this. Road bikes are a good way to train and they will improve your peformance. But If you realy don't want a road bike just use slicks and I garantee that you will become a better...

Everyone nows that nothing grips on gravel but lets get an idea if what types of XC tyres you people use on gravel and what you think of them. I love the Hutchinson Pythons but there not the cheapest tyres in the world........Any other sugestions

I went riding last week down this track at a nice speed, the track was just clay and it was a bit muddy. Then I see this area on the track that I know is a wet clay but I've riden over it before so I thought nothing of it. Then a hit it and the front end gets sucked in and most of my handle...

See my problem is that people recomend to me these WTD Velo's for gravel because they seem like good tyre but personally I think there absolute crap. I go riding in clay and they pick up everything, and on gravel they seem OK. But them I put on my old per of Hutchi Moskitos (there almost...

I'm getting good at climbing. But as soon as I hit the real steep climbs on gravel. I can't control my bike while keeping traction........ Where talking about hills were your climbing in your lowest gear. I've found that holding your bar ends isn't a good idea in this situation, since every...
