Types of Bikes 2

By Anonymous
Cyclocross Bikes
Cyclocross bikes are road bikes with knobby tires, disc brakes, and sturdier frames. The knobby tires are for riding off road, the disc brakes are to stop fast on slippery surfaces.



Touring Bikes
Touring bikes are road bikes with relaxed frame angles so that they are more comfortable for riding long distances. The tires are also knobby so that touring bikes can go off road when riding on trails. They also have many racks for carrying all of the necessary touring equipment.
Cargo Bikes
Cargo bikes are for carrying large loads over short distances. Because of this they generally have lots of cargo space, a large kickstand for loading and unloading, and fenders to protect the cargo from water.

Petzl Adjama Harness Review

By Anonymous
     I recently purchased this harness and used it at EVO Rock and Fitness. This harness is meant for mountaineering and ice climbing but it works fine when sport climbing as well. While I was using the harness, I climbed a few top-rope climbing routes with grades from 5.6 to 5.11 and boulder problems* from VO to V4. The harness was less constricting and allowed for a wider range of motion than all of the other harnesses I have used in the past. Even though people usually remove their harness before bouldering, I decided that because this harness did not restrict my range of movement that I would leave it on. There was no difference between bouldering with this harness on and bouldering with this harness off. There are also many other cool features on this harness. The gear loops for hanging climbing gear (Quickdraws, carabiners, slings, cams, bolts, extra rope, etc.) are filled with hard plastic in the front of the harness so that it is easy to reach your climbing gear. The loops in t

Black Diamond Storm Headlamp--Review

By Anonymous
The headlamp I have use this headlamp on multiple occasions, when camping and not camping. The new Black Diamond Storm headlamp works very well and I am pleased with its performance. The light is very powerful at a max of 250 lumens of white light. The minimum amount of light is 4 lumens. There are also red, green, lock, and close-up light options. The range is 80-2 meters. Another very useful feature on this headlamp is that is IP67 rated. This means that it is water and dust proof. It also means that the headlamp can be used up to 1 meter underwater for 30 minutes. This was useful recently because it was snowing out and I had to keep going inside then out again to bring gear into a cabin. The snow melted into water when I went inside and accumulated again once I got back outside. The headlamp worked fine the entire time and the water/snow/cold did not affect the headlamp at all. The only problem was that the snow reduced the range that the headlamp could light, but that would hap

Ski-Sled Part 1: Plan, materials, and intro

By Anonymous
    I was recently thinking that I wanted to build something. I thought for awhile about what that something would be and eventually settled on a sled. I decided to build a sled because I have never been that satisfied by the store-bought models and thought I could make something better. I believe that I can build a sled that goes faster, lasts longer, and is possibly more comfortable than the store bought models. I am using downhill skis for the base of my sled because I know that they have very little resistance and people using them can go quite fast*. The top of my sled will be either some boards or a bench-press or similar cushion if I can find one. This post will cover my plan for the sled, the materials I am using, and what I have done so far for the project.       If you build or replicate this, be careful when using it. In the words of BrutalEfficiency  ^ on instructables:  "How do you brake? You don't. Brakes were invented by cowards. This Extreme project is Extrem
