The Radavist

A while back we shared the first Under Biking Down Under video and today we’re back with another one from Damien’s trail in New Zealand.

We had a great turnout at the Camera Corner world premiere at MADE last night! Our team is in the weeds with MADE coverage right now but we wanted to post a thank you to everyone who came out and shared in the stoke of Wende!

A huge thanks to YAKIMA for sponsoring the screening, We Are One for the bevs, and the MADE crew for showing the film!

We’ve got more showings of Camera Corner on the way. The next is in Santa Fe at the Jean Cocteau theater on the 25th of September and we’ll be sharing how to host a screening once we’re back from MADE.

We shared the news earlier this month. If you have a “Chicken Coop” 1980 Ritchey or an early biplane model from 1979 to 1982 that is missing its fork or Bullmoose bar, now’s your chance to have Tom Ritchey himself build a replacement fork for it. Ritchey is now taking orders as Tom resurrects the MOUNTAIN BIKES name…

Bars start at $700 for an unpainted clampless threadless version.
Forks start at $800 for unpainted sloping crown threaded steerer.

Roll on over to Ritchey to submit a form for order.

Baum Cycles has unveiled its latest model offering, the DBM – a gravel bike with MTB DNA. Baum’s new gravel bike embraces all that MTB has to offer, including 29 x 2.20–2.40″ tires, lower gear ratios, and a dropper post to extend its off-road capabilities.

For MADE 2024 Old Man Mountain turned to its local landscape for inspiration. Central Oregon is home to the Painted Hills, a stunning geologic feature made of mineral rich soils compacted into layers upon layers of striated color. OMM took these colors and made a special series of Axle Pack and Baskets, along with Astral Outback wheelsets.

The parts are super limited to just 12 sets of Axle Pack, 12 Baskets. There are a few Baskets and Axle Packs available online, the rest are available in person at MADE 2024. Prices are the same as normal.

Also matching this kit are Astral’s Outback wheelsets, which are only available in person at MADE 2024.

Check it all out at Old Man Mountain.

Dropouts are critical to the design of the rear end of a bike. Daniel Yang from Artefact and Neuhaus recently took the big step of designing and manufacturing his own dropouts: the Artefact UDH dropout and the DR30.

What do you guys think? Which design do you prefer?

Dan Craven, or Dan from Nam, as he was known during his professional road racing career, had for years dreamt of starting his own handmade bike brand at home in Namibia, Onguza. He had traveled the world riding and racing bikes, but he knew that to find the best builders, returning home to Namibia would make the most sense…

Bicycle company Wilde teamed up with Cane Creek to re-issue the 110 ZN headset ($120)…

Today, in conjunction with our first Ti Talk, we’re excited to pull back the curtain on No.22‘s development of the brand’s new aero, performance-forward titanium road bike. Constructed from 3D-printed titanium and countless hours of post-printing hand labor, the latest iteration of the Reactor is set to launch in 2025, with this prototype debut at the MADE bike show in Portland, OR, August 23-25th…

Adam’s H.A.T. – Hanger Alignment Tool – ($36) is an ultralight, emergency derailleur Hanger Alignment Tool for mid-ride repair. The H.A.T. offers the peace of mind that if you or a friend bends their hanger during a long ride, you can fix it well enough to get back on the trail and have fun.

The Forage Cycles patent-pending H.A.T. works by allowing you to attach your front thru-axle to the bent derailleur hanger, and use your axle and front wheel together to maximize leverage and control while straightening the hanger.

First introduced in 2019, the CargoMount revolutionized the cargo cage market with its single-piece aluminum construction. The innovative, low-profile design allowed riders to keep the cage mounted on their frame or forks without adding unnecessary bulk. The latest iteration of the CargoMount enhances this concept by incorporating an internally threaded tube, dubbed the CargoNoodle, to provide a stronger, removable support…
