@Philpug[/USER] and I are on a road trip to attend the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame Enshrinement events in Ishpeming, Michigan.
We decided to make an adventure of it and stop to see some Pugskiers and take in some activities at some ski resorts along the way.
First we loaded S.S. Pugski...

So I have been thinking more and more about why I flat out love certain trails, why I hate certain trails, and also why I can hate a trail but learn to love, and also why I can hate a trail and never learn to like it.
Thinking about this I have come to a conclusion, regardless of technical...

I've been using the Muc-Off Ceramic lube (no idea why it has ceramic) for the last year or two.
Have you guys seen this stuff? Hard to imagine paying that for chain lube...
And more importantly, how wide is TOO wide, and has bar width gone the way of ski width, and gone overboard in many instances?
Mine are 750mm; I have been cutting them down to 720 until this year, when I got it into my head that "wider is better". Well, my cornering has progressively gotten...
I just got a new seat for my Marin Hawk Hill. The stock saddle was just vaguely uncomfortable on long seated climbs, so I didn't know what to look for in a new one. I have a Specialized Toupe on one of my road bikes, and a Specialized Oura on the other, so I stuck with Specialized and got a...
So recently I have been trying to figure out how to do a wheelie on my mountain bike. I’ve gotten to the point where sometimes I can do maybe a 5 second wheelie but most of the time I just fall back down.
When I wheelie my bike starts moving too fast and I find myself pedaling harder and...
Got a full face helmet (in this thread). Now, while getting psyched watching youtube videos for the coming riding season, I realized I don't yet have knee pads. Further more, I don't know squat about pads.
What's you favorite and why? What were your considerations when you purchased? Light...

Since I didn't get out to ski today...because I was watching The Masters and by the time I needed a break from Pugski work and I could take a break..it was too late to head to the hill, so the only option was to take out the bike for it's maiden summer jaunt.
It took me a...
For whatever weird reason I seem to have been bitten by the bke bug. The last bike I had was an early 1990s Specialized Rock Hopper.
I am now reaching out to the Pugsters for tips on what to look for in a bike, what is needless bling, what you like about your ride(s) and what you don't like...

If you are in the market for a new fat bike, you have undoubtedly seen a few new bikes featuring 27.5 wheels. Which is better: 27.5 or 26? Hopefully, this article will help with the buying decision. I did a ton of investigation and interviews, including an interview with Why Cycles to get to the...

I had my shock seal replaced this late spring. I've got 643.2 mi and 91h 9m on the bike this year. Is this leaking abnormal? Should it be serviced right away? This is a couple rides worth of leaking.
Hello,
I hope this is the correct place to post this.
I have been on Epic ski and Pugski for some time. I have purchased skis based on recommendatons by Phil Pug and have been pleased. I am now over 60 and the Epic Pass that I bought also covers lifts in the summer. I did some single track on...

What do you guys think of this puppy? I'm kinda toying with some sort of a "gravel" bike to complement my mountain bikes and my 15 year old Lemond (which in all honesty is perfectly fine and is fun to ride on gravel roads with its 23c tubeless tires). The bar/stem thing is sorta cool and kind of...
The first thing I thought of when playing with the 6D ATB-1T Evo helmet was that it feels like the Volvo of bike helmets: boxy but safe. Considering Volvo’s commitment to safety, could there be a better first impression? As far as the "boxy but safe" part, the 6D is a bit larger and not as...

So, I don't ride bikes. I may sometime but they're just not my thing. That said, I watched this entire video (30 minutes or so) and was blown away. This is some kind of crazy! I didn't know such a thing existed.
Yes, another way to find our site. With many members here being cyclists, we thought it would only be fitting to specialize a segment specifically for cycling. We were very successful creating new relationships with brands and suppliers at Interbike and look forward to building this section.
So, our Scott rep dropped an e-Spark 710 off for a few of us to try. I like cool stuff, I like bikes, this thing is pretty cool and is sort of a bike... this should be fun!

Since whenever there are two or more options, there needs to be a 'best', so what is the best way to hydrate while riding- bottle, pack or sipping from a trailside puddle?
- Bottles can be inconvenient and not all bikes play well with...
