Interbike Show in Las Vegas was a blast. All the new and exciting bike techology
was displayed at every booth. The first two days were held in the desert testing riding bikes. The downhill
guys were being carted to the top for a bounce down, the XC riders were cruising the single track, and the road bikers were
flying all over the place. They had hybrid powered, workhorses with flatbeds, and eliptical bikes. I found myself
drawn to the Cyclocross bikes. They were an exciting mix of on and off road cycling. They fly down the pavement
and change there attiude when the payment turns to dirt. Hard, soft, gravel, whatever....thay move. I tried a
mountain bike with a direct drive belt. Smooth, quiet, and powerful responsiveness made up this drive train. It
even has holes in the chainrings so that the mud gets pushed right thru. So many other things such as new 2x10 moutain
cranks on Srams XX, Precision floor and hand pumps by Lezyne that has available rebuild kits.....the last pump
you will ever own. Jamis has the carbon 29er that was fast and light. Also showcased was the new XCT
with 5inches of all mountain design. But what got my attention was the new 650B 5inch bike. It felt incredible
on the trail in every respect.
