The end-over handlebars is a rite of passage for any mountain biker as he works up the ranks from cruising novice to dirt demon. At least, that's what I thought before taking a spin on the new <a href="http://www.yeticycles.com/#/bikes/sb95">Yeti SB95 ($4,800 as tested)</a> on a recent trip to Vail Mountain, CO.</p> ...<br/><br/><a href="http://gearpatrol.com/2013/06/18/tested-yeti-sb95/">Read More »</a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?a=-ImfBNLxwIk:HgnL9R-yEcU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?a=-ImfBNLxwIk:HgnL9R-yEcU:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?i=-ImfBNLxwIk:HgnL9R-yEcU:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?a=-ImfBNLxwIk:HgnL9R-yEcU:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gearpatrol/~4/-ImfBNLxwIk" height="1" width="1"/> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:02:45 +0000 http://gearpatrol.com/2013/06/18/tested-yeti-sb95/ http://gearpatrol.com/2013/06/18/tested-yeti-sb95/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/gearpatrol/~3/gTu37pnkKqk/ <img width="650" height="500" src="http://gearpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/how-electronic-shifting-bikes-works-gear-patrol-lead-.jpg" class="attachment-650x650 wp-post-image" alt="how-electronic-shifting-bikes-works-gear-patrol-lead-" /><br /><br /><p>Road bike shifting has come a long way in the roughly 75 years it’s been around. The number of gears has ballooned from 2 to 11, shifters have moved from the frame to the brake levers and traditional cable actuation is poised to give way to electronic shifting. There’s little doubt that the revolutionary new tech, which replaces traditional steel cables with small electric servos, will eventually become commonplace. Two decades ago that couldn’t have seemed further from the truth.</p> ...<br/><br/><a href="http://gearpatrol.com/2013/06/18/point-and-click-everything-you-need-to-know-about-electronic-shifting/">Read More »</a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?a=gTu37pnkKqk:p_mmvW8SrS0:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?a=gTu37pnkKqk:p_mmvW8SrS0:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?i=gTu37pnkKqk:p_mmvW8SrS0:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?a=gTu37pnkKqk:p_mmvW8SrS0:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gearpatrol/~4/gTu37pnkKqk" height="1" width="1"/> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:23:52 +0000 http://gearpatrol.com/2013/06/18/point-and-click-everything-you-need-to-know-about-electronic-shifting/ http://gearpatrol.com/2013/06/18/point-and-click-everything-you-need-to-know-about-electronic-shifting/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/gearpatrol/~3/u0OWStPnnI4/ <img width="650" height="500" src="http://gearpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/best-mountain-biking-trails-gear-patrol-lead.jpg" class="attachment-650x650 wp-post-image" alt="best-mountain-biking-trails-gear-patrol-lead" /><br /><br /><p>Picking our 10 favorite mountain bike trails for our <a href="http://gearpatrol.com/tag/cycling-issue">week of cycling</a> is like asking a parent to pick their favorite kid: we love them each for different reasons.

Dialing in your own personal style of off-roading has never been easier -- once you wade through the overwhelming amount of options, that is. There's a different bike for just about every type of trail and rider, and even some that claim to do it all. You need a bike best suited to the kind of riding you enjoy, but that also won't keep you from the occasional change of pace (or any surprises the trails throw at you).

The popularity of road cycling owes in part to the low barriers to entry (everyone has roads), in part to the variety of awesome bikes available for riders of different skill levels and desired recreation, in part to the rise of the <em>sportive </em> or <em>gran fondo</em> -- a cycling event that emphasizes participation over competition -- and in part to all the really boss neon lycra.

Slow sales soon put the importation experiment to an end, despite a budding cult following. Now, Pernod Ricard is reintroducing the spirit back to select American markets. Unlike typical Canadian whiskies, Pike Creek is finished in Port barrels, and left at the mercy of the elements in unheated warehouses. But is it really a different?

It gets all the attention when you’re bragging about the big one from your last trip. On the other hand, reels are the unsung heroes. They’re the ones that make the sweet music (they really do – listen to a big fish running against one sometime), the ones that make catching big fish possible. We round up our five favorites.</p> ...<br/><br/><a href="http://gearpatrol.com/2013/06/14/best-fly-reels/">Read More »</a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?a=3p_wGKoI1K0:7_RIKy4q6qE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?a=3p_wGKoI1K0:7_RIKy4q6qE:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?i=3p_wGKoI1K0:7_RIKy4q6qE:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?a=3p_wGKoI1K0:7_RIKy4q6qE:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/gearpatrol?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gearpatrol/~4/3p_wGKoI1K0" height="1" width="1"/> Fri, 14 Jun 2013 18:00:20 +0000 http://gearpatrol.com/2013/06/14/best-fly-reels/ http://gearpatrol.com/2013/06/14/best-fly-reels/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/gearpatrol/~3/6_P7ISbUAEE/ <img width="650" height="500" src="http://gearpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/five-best-fly-rods-gear-patrol-lead.jpg" class="attachment-650x650 wp-post-image" alt="five-best-fly-rods-gear-patrol-lead" /><br /><br /><p>Famed fly fishing writer John Gierach once wrote a book called <em>Standing in a River Waving a Stick</em>. Well, fly fishing looks a lot like that. And the stick in question is a fly rod. It’s the rod that throws the line that carries the fly to the fish. To those who aren’t familiar with fly fishing, all fly rods look the same.

Few people know that he can survive for days at without food or water, subsisting on a diet of symmetry alone. His first language was Photoshop. Helvetica was inspired by his childhood doodles. Michael Bay calls him for advice on being epic; errors fix themselves once caught in his knowing gaze. He was "old school before old school became new school". He is the most fastidious man in the world.
