2019 Salsa Beargrease Fat Bike Test Review 26 vs 27.5 Fat Bike Shootout MTB on Demand 2019-04-17 | 2019 Salsa Beargrease Fat Bike Test Review 26 vs 27.5 Fat Bike ShootoutFor 2019 the Salsa Beargrease continues to evolve with the latest trends in trail bike design. After switching from 26” to larger 27.5” wheels in 2018, the Beargrease gets a totally redesigned frame for 2019. It’s a bit longer overall thanks to an increase in the length of the front center. It’s also a bit lower allowing for the addition of an extra small model. Other updates were designed to improve the bike’s versatility and serviceability. For comparison to our 2019 Beargrease Deore 1X we have a 2016 Beargrease Carbon X7, which features 26” wheels and a 2x Sram drivetrain. Although our 2019 retails for a few hundred dollars less, its 2.7lbs lighter, and is arguably better specked. For a fair assessment of how far the Beargrease performance has come, we swapped out both bikes OEM tires for a pair of 45NRTH Vanhelga, 26x4” for the 2016 and 27.5x4” for the 2019. Both bikes use Sunringle Mulefut SL, 80mm wide, aluminum rims. The Vanhelga feature one of the tallest most widely spaced tread patterns of any fat bike tire on the market for superior performance in loose snow or mud. They also offer adequate knob surface for predictable grip on hard dirt and the shoulder knobs are triple-siped for additional biting edges in ice. A dual tread compound provides longer lasting, faster rolling center knobs while softer compound shoulder knobs add cornering grip. Vanhelga are capable of handling any type of trail condition Mother Nature can dish out, which can be rather unpredictable where we ride. We used the lighter 120tpi versions which we set up at 6 lbs front and 7 lbs rear. We found them surprisingly light for such an aggressive tread design. New Frame DesignComparing the two size large frames, the 2019 has a 5.7mm longer wheelbase of 1151mm, retaining a chainstay length of 440mm. The added length comes from a 5.8mm increase in reach to 444.7mm and effective top-tube length increased by 8mm to 633mm. To match the slower steering 27.5” wheels, the head tube angle was slightly steepened from 68.4 to 68.56 degrees. Seat tube angle remains unchanged at 73 degrees. A stand over of 774.8mm is 6.4mm lower. The Beargrease is now a 1X drivetrain specific design allowing up to a 32 tooth front chain ring. With a 12mm axle, rear wheel spacing was increased from 177mm to 192mm. To ease maintenance and improve shifting performance, the Beargrease drivetrain now features fully internal, sleeved cable routing. Meeting customer demands there’s now internal routing for a dropper post and an easily serviceable threaded bottom bracket. Salsa has undoubtedly improved the performance of the Beargrease. The superior rollover of the larger wheels and tires, geometry tweaks and revised cockpit have made the Beargrease a smoother, more stable bike with little sacrifice in agility. Compared to our 2016, Salsa has delivered a lighter, better performing bike for less money. If you’ve been thinking it might be time for a new fat bike, the updated 2019 Salsa Beargrease could be all the excuse you need to pull the trigger.RELATED VIDEOSFat Bike Upgrades for A Better Trail Bike Part 1 Project Buildyoutu.be/_wqsVV3lROA
Basic Mountain Bike Trail Etiquette Tips MTB on Demand 2018-12-22 | A few trail etiquette tips for mountain bike riders to have a safer and more enjoyable experience the next time you're out on the trail.
Harbin Park Mountain Bike Trail Review by MTB Cincinnati MTB on Demand 2018-08-29 | 40 minutes north of downtown Cincinnati, 161-acre William Harbin Park is the largest park in Fairfield, Ohio. This suburban oasis features soccer fields, basketball courts, 18-hole Frisbee golf, play and campgrounds, plus one of the best sledding hills in our area. What brings us to Harbin are its wooded hills providing six miles of old-school, cross country style mountain bike trails. Harbin Park features a multi-use, multi-directional trail system that’s open year round, weather permitting. There are three loops making up the roughly six miles of trail: the 4 mile orange, 1.1 mile green, and ¾ mile blue loop. The orange and green loops connect, allowing you to ride them as one big loop. Harbin’s trails are known for their constant elevation changes. It rewards strong climbers and will strengthen riders who aren’t. Like Tower Park and Caesar Creek, Harbin’s trails are some of the original mountain bike trails in the area. While not as steep or technically demanding as Tower and Caesar, Harbin’s old-school design often takes a more direct approach at climbs and descents, rather than winding their way gradually up and down hillsides. Difficulty level is mostly intermediate with the Blue loop being pretty beginner friendly. The 4 mile orange loop is the most technically and physically demanding trail in the park. It features a mix of mostly flowy trail filled with multiple punchy climbs and equally steep descents, with few sections steep enough to get skilled riders in over their heads. There are a few root drops adding technical difficulty plus the orange loop is home of Mount Mother, a roughly 25 yard climb that feels considerably longer due to its grade of over 20%. The 1.1 mile green loop features a mixture of tight and flowy sections with some punchy ups and downs to contend with although it’s less technically demanding than the orange trail.Originally an Eagle Scout project, the 3/4 mile blue loops layout is pretty tight and twisty with shorter climbs and descents and some smaller roots and rocks to contend with.As you step up to more aggressive trails, it might be a good idea to step up your bike’s performance as well. Of all the trails we’ve ridden in the area thus far, Harbin Park’s difficulty level ranks somewhere in the middle. Its hills provide a great place to build strength without being too overwhelmed by technical difficulty. Harbin provides great local trails if you’re lucky enough to live nearby and is a place we’d definitely recommend checking out if you have never been there before.

Salsa Deadwood 29+ full Suspension Long Term Test Review MTB on Demand 2018-08-04 | Looking over Salsa’s line, the short-travel full–suspension, 29+ wheel sized, Deadwood was an immediate standout. At the time Salsa was the only mid to large size manufacturer in the market offering a 29+ full suspension bike so we selected it for a long-term test.Running their models much later into the season than most other brands we received our 2017 test unit a while after most other manufacturers had released their 2018s. Our Deadwood features a carbon fiber front triangle and an aluminum back end. Salsa upgraded to carbon seat stays for 2018. Our test unit was picked from the back of a demo truck, boxed, and sent to us with the better part of a year’s abuse, allowing us to better evaluate its long term durability.Salsa markets the Deadwood SUS as a trail bike, suggesting it for backcountry single-track riding, bike-packing, and even endurance racing. It’s designed to combine a rugged trail bike frame design with forgiving trail bike geometry. It utilizes, 29+ tires to roll over large obstacles and fill in small crevasse, keeping suspension in reserve for bigger hits. The Deadwood’s suspension travel numbers are in line with what we’d expect to find on a cross country race bike with 91mm rear and 100mm front. The rear suspension features Dave Weagle’s award winning Split Pivot deign. Durable and easily replicable Cartridge bearings are used throughout the frame.The Deadwood’s 68° head-tube angle is typical for shorter travel, 29er trail bikes with the Plus size adding stability. 449mm chain-stays are 12mm longer than the ones Salsa typically uses on 29” full-suspension bikes to make room for the plus size tires. The medium frame’s 610.2mm effective top-tube length is pretty spacious, thanks to its rather slack 73.4° seat tube angle. Its reach is typical for a modern trail 29er at 427.4mm. With its 100mm travel fork the frame features a bottom bracket drop of 45mm adding stability. Both ends feature boost spacing adding rigidity and accommodating the larger tires. Cables are externally routed on the top side of the down tube, with internal cable routing for a dropper post and rear derailleur. There’s a front derailleur mount and there are water bottle cage bosses inside the front triangle with enough room for a full-size water bottle. Like many of Salsa’s bikes, the Deadwood can run a variety of wheel and tire sizes. The frame can accommodate plus size tires as large as 29x3.0” down to standard size sizes as small as 29x2.2” for snappier acceleration and more nimble handling. The frame works with rims as wide as 45mm providing a more stable plus-tire setup.SuspensionOur Deadwood XT came outfitted with high-end suspension components at both ends. A RockShox Monarch RT3 shock with Debonair delivers three-way compression damping settings and rebound damping adjustments. It works with the Split Pivot rear suspension design controlling 91mm of rear wheel travel. Up front a 29+ capable RockShox Pike RC features 13 position adjustable compression and rebound damping adjustments, providing 100mm of travel. ConclusionSalsa has once again come up with a bike that is both different and good. In a world seemingly dominated by longer and longer travel trail bikes aimed at motoing the trail, the Deadwood is happiest rolling over almost everything in its path. In spite of its limited travel, the Deadwood is a pretty versatile bike. Install a set of large diameter tires for maximum ground clearance, traction and squish and the Deadwood is a technical trail conquering beast. Switch out to a nice set of lighter carbon wheels, narrower tires, and a few lighter bits throughout and we could imagine using the efficient pedaling Deadwood as a rugged, cross county racer. If you typically stay low to the ground, want a bike that will last for years and is capable of conquering everything in your path with relative ease, the Salsa Deadwood is worth serious consideration.
Mitchell Memorial Forest Mountain Bike Trail Review by MTB Cincinnati MTB on Demand 2018-01-30 | Mitchell Memorial Forest is located 25 minutes northwest of downtown Cincinnati in Cleves, Ohio, and is one of the Great Parks of Hamilton County The trails at Mitchell Memorial are open year round with the exception of when it’s muddy. Like all other CORA trails you can check its current condition by visiting CORA’s website. During peak season there’s a $3 admission charge to the park or you can purchase an annual pass for $10. The multi-use trails are closed to dogs preventing unwanted land mines from being flung all over you or your bike. Driving back the park’s main entrance, you’ll find the Tall Pines, parking lot a ways back on the left, next to the A loop trail-head, complete with a trail map. The A loop eventually connects you to the B loop or you can more easily access it farther up the park’s main access road. The cross-country style, multi directional trails are comprised primarily of single-track that gets pretty tight in some areas. Both loops offer a generous amount of long flowing sections with some natural roller sections that really add to the fun of riding at Mitchell. Built to IMBA standards, while there are some moderately challenging climbs and fun decants there isn’t a lot in the way super steep intermediate level rider. The 3.9 mile A loop seemed to offer a bit more opportunity to get rad with its root drops, log crossings, and rolling trail features. It’s a great time for more advanced riders and easy enough for beginners or younger riders, with a little bit of caution. The 4.2 mile B loop offers a higher level of technicality due to its numerous rocky sections. While experienced riders often appreciate the extra challenge. Those less skilled at picking good lines and timing pedal strokes will suffer a higher number of peal strikes. If you’re a newer rider we’d recommend conquering the A loop before you move onto the B loop. Both trails connect allowing you to turn them into one larger loop. Overall mileage and difficulty are somewhere in the middle for trails in our area. Difficulty wise, we’d compare Mitchell to trails like East Fork or England Idlewild, although the Rocky sections on the B loop make Mitchell a bit more technically demanding. Their layout, the terrain, and an excellent reputation for being well maintained, are all reasons why Mitchell Memorial Forest is so popular with many local riders, and why this place is so near the top of our list of local trails to get back to and ride.
