Can I run a SRAM 2x10 with 3x9 derailleurs?

Submitted by rad on 8 Oct 2011

or, what is the difference between ESP and Exact Actuation?

I've been dreaming of both converting my main ride to a 1x9 and being strong enough to rock the Front Range climbs without a granny years before SRAM debuted its 2x10 system. I've been fairly successful at avoiding shifting out of the middle, but that granny does occasionally pay its own way.

I went to a SRAM demo day a couple of months ago at Golden Bike Shop where they were demoing a bunch of brands of bikes all set up with XX and X.0 2x10 kit.

Summer 2011 - My first Transalp!

Submitted by rad on 17 Sep 2011

Ever since living in Germany in the late 90's, I'd always wanted to do a transalp and finally got the opportunity. I didn't know quite what to expect in terms of trail or difficulty, so I went into it without a lot of expectations. Having been introduced to a guide from BikeAlpin, I chose their company and picked out the Garmisch - Gardasee (East) 5-day guided tour. Doing a transalp has become sort of a right of passage for German mountain bikers. I don't think there's anything to compare it to in the states.

Czech Greenway Trail July 2011

Czech Greenway: Prague (Prag, Praha) to Vienna (Wien, Vídeň)

2-6 July, 2011



Picking up the tandem in Vienna

Getting the bike, getting to Prague

I'd read about the Czech Greenway in National Geographic many years ago and had always wanted to ride it. I finally created the opportunity in July 2011 and asked my non-cyclist girlfriend, and she was game! Since we were of disparate cycling experience, I thought a tandem would be the ideal equalizer and keep the relationship healthy. We found a place in Vienna that rented tandems: It wasn't a high-end bike shop, but had a big enough inventory that they had at least two tandems I thought would be satisfactory for the trip.

Best place to live for a singletrack lover?

Submitted by rad on 11 Apr 2011

I got this email today. I'd love to hear thoughts from people in the comments below.

Hey there-

I'm hoping you can make some suggestions, in terms of best places to live in Arizona.

I just accepted a sales gig and I can live anywhere I want, in California and/or the southwest.

I'm leaning heavily towards the Tucson and/or Phoenix area because of lower cost of living, less traffic(relatively speaking) than Southern California.

And, more single track, I think, in AZ??

I've lived/ridden/raced in Austin for the last 8 years, or so.
