Mountain Bike Bill, Get the Dirt on the Dirt

 

Web Site Partners and Supporters

Here are some of the organizations that are helping to keep the trail information, pictures and videos coming your way.  None of the folks are strangers and I have personally used their stuff for some years now. So download one of my every increasing large videos and check out these folks while you are waiting.

 
Intense Logo  

To say I'm jazzed about having Intense as a supporter of the site would be a massive understatement. I have been a huge fan of Intense since 2003 when I first threw a leg over a Spider. Thier bikes are super high quality and are built right here in Southern California (Temecula). Thier welds are not just impressive, they are darn near a work of art.

While the Spider is categorized as a cross country bike, I find it to be a pretty darn capable trail bike for those who like to keep the bike on the ground and going fast. Mine has certainly stood up to some abuse. Please check out Intense's Website for thier full line of awesome bikes.

Xyclone Discs.  I have been riding the crap out a set of these ultra-lightweight wheels  since 2003 and they are still going strong even after 6,000+ miles of trail riding.  Wither coming down from the summit of Mount Fuji in Japan or dealing with the gnarlyness of Southern California's Noble Canyon these wheels have just plain performed and have proven to be a worthy investment.  

I am quite stoked with Spinergy as a supporter.   I have been riding their MTB wheels since 2003 and have been thoroughly impressed with their wheels. All of thier wheels I have used have outstanding performance. and amazing durability. Pair all of that up with exceptional customer service.

   
  Fall Line FR/DH Wheels.   I been using these wheels on my long-legged "play" bike since May 2006 and quite simply these wheels wheels hold up to some serious abuse.  They are exceptionally light for the burly factor they have and the wide rims gives just about any tire a wider footprint.  I have not had a single issue with these wheels including even minor truing.  
   
 

Xyclone Enduro. These all-mountain wheels are the newest addition to my wheel lineup. I am still running these wheels through the paces, but out of the gate these are some impressive wheels. I am using these wheels on the exact same bike and setup as I had the burly Fall Line wheels for my main comparison. Here is the quick snap shot - I really like them as they are pretty darn strong. Light for an All-Mountain Wheel - Hella Light compared to the Fall Line Wheels (little rotating weight). Look for another update here or on the blog after I have given these things a good and through run-down.
