Hi there.
As a long time reader of your magazine, I would like to draw your attention to an Irish company that has by far the best cycle vacation website I have ever seen. It is called www.irishbikingtours.com and it is run by the most famous Irish cycling family in the country - the McQuaids, (PAT McQuaid is President of the UCI!).
Anyway, the reason I think you should do a story on these guys is they run a spectacular operation. I have been on a few Backroads tours and they don't compare to these guys. Sure a Backroads tour is going to be professionally run, you'll stay in nice places, ride nice Treks etc. etc. But the fun we had with irishbikingtours, (formally Celtic Trails) was far beyond anything we had ever experienced on any of the many bike tours we have done in the past.
And you would be directing people to what I do honestly believe is the best cycle vacation website on the Net.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Smartt
Commited Biker, and
Commited 'BikeMag' reader.

I have an outside perspective on the 26/29 inch wheel.
I have only ridden a 26 inch Mountain bike wheel.
I currently ride a 700 centimeter tubular road wheel.
I converted 26 inches to (66 cm)
I converted 29 inches to (74 cm)
I consider this a base.
29 inches is rounded from 73.6? up to 74 cm.
Twenty six inches requires less math to be a more accurate 66.? cm.
Twenty nine inches for a bike wheel historically recalls a high wheel bike that has proportionately more wheel than bicycle frame.
A mountain bike has a primary frame need of a top tube.
Anything exceeding the primary need of a top tube puts a Mt. bike in margin of total failure.
I think older cyclist desire tubular Mt. bike wheels.
They can not function unless as a tubular/clincher.
A tubular wheel could easily have a clincher flange or bead built when the tire surface is applied.
I have no founding of a tubular clincher as material.
Low roll weight is a quality/quantity that quality will always win.

FYI. I sent this email to Cindy Karamitis @ sourceinterlink. Cindy. Hi. I recently began subscribing to Bike magazine and so far I've enjoyed it. However, this weekend, I received via mail an unsolicited "offer" to join the National Rifle Association that used an address that I gave only to Bike magazine. In other words, the NRA sent their piece to me using an address that I gave to Bike and only Bike. I have a special place in my mind and heart for the NRA - and it's not a good place. In selling my subscription address to the NRA or some intermediary mailing house you have violated my sense of good judgment. I like bikes, not rifles. Got it? So, although I enjoy your magazine, your mailing list policy violates my sense of propriety. Please cancel my subscription immediately. Thanks.

As a Canadian transplant in Alabama I was super excited to read the 50 incredible rides article. I drove three hours to Salem, AL, talked to the locals, visited the bike shop, attempted to find the trail and know one knew about it. The bike shop had "heard" someone was riding out there. The people in Salem didn't know what I was talking about and I left after three hours of aimlessly looking for the "Ghost Town Trail" that I drove three hours to ride. All I got was a gas bill and a car full of red clay dust. How can you have a trail as the 50 best if no one has heard of it in the town that it is supposed to be located in? I am now afraid to check out any of the others for fear of the same thing as 5 of the recommended trails are less than 6 hours from me.

This is my first time writing this mag. I am a soldier in Iraq and I just finished reading the July '08 Bike mag here in Iraq, and I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciated the editorial letter at the beginning. It is encouraging to me to hear my fellow Americans voice their support for those of us overseas, and not taking for granted the freedoms that still to this day have a heavy price tag. Generosity is an American trademark from those grateful of sacrifice. I also wanted to thank you for a great mag. Besides playing with my children again, hopping on my bike and hitting the trails is the only other thing I think about on a daily basis. I have been riding since I was a teen and there is almost nothing better than to find yourself on a trail having to stop for a minute to take in the absolute beauty of the landscape given to us to fathom. Your magazine has done a wonderful job of taking in that landscape. It helps me realize how proud I am to be an American.

hello everybody at bike mag. Im a simple young man from a simple place and, like must of us out there, get my greatest amount of joy and well being from riding my bike. I write to you because I am forced into my own sh*tbike challenge. I used to have two bikes so when one broke I had the other until not to long ago when an ex decided to cut everything that could be cut on a bike and then threw it from a moving vehicle into my driveway for me to find. That really sucked but i still had my numero uno and was happy with that until it broke and for around 2 months now i haven't been able to ride a bike. I moved into a new place recently and in the basement was an old mountain bike that fit me but, you guessed it, is junk. Ive dug up some old parts but its all leftover stuff. Despite all this I'm very grateful I get to ride every day at least. Its been a very difficult time for me and I would like to say a big thanks to you guys for the best mountain bike magazine I know. especially the east coast issue.

I must say that I was HIGHLY Disappointed by your lacking review of "Next Years Most Wanted Bikes". First let me start off by questioning why not a SINGLE 29er was featured!!! WEAK! How about the all new Niner RIP9? What about totally new WFO from Niner??? What about the good work that Salsa is doing in the 29er Dept.? I mean really. Let's at least try to keep up with the ever developing times guys. After all the 29er movement (yes, it is a movement) is not going away. Ever. Get used to it. That said, you all are clearly missing the boat. Not to mention all of the cool hybrids that are taking shape because of it. For example Monster Cross. What a totally cool and fun I might add realm of biking. After all your magazine is titled "BIKE" (implying many), not just "26" WHEELED TRAIL BIKES". Or am I wrong and totally out of line.

Being one of the leading cycling magazines in the USA you might be interested in a new initiative to start a brand new pro-cycling team owned and managed by an international community of cycling fans named CrowdRiders (http://www.crowdriders.com)
CrowdRiders' goal is to find 40.000 cycling fans from all over the world that jointly want to run this team. Every member, by paying an annual membership fee of 55 EUR, gets direct decision power regarding all the major decision concerning the team: from team name, shirt design and rider selection to race calendar composition and sports director choice.
The team will ride around in the peloton wearing a unique jersey visually displaying the member-ownership structure by displaying every member's name on the official CrowdRiders team jersey and team bus!

Recently my mind has been flooded with new age, flip-whip, paved landing, slopestyle and street riding coverage, videos, and stories. Even my favorite big mountain and north shore riders now opt to ride the cleanest, smoothest trails. Though these guys are fantastic riders, i think its time we start paying attention to the true "world's best bike handlers." Key word there is "handler." Guys like Andreas Hestler and Chris Rigg could go dh on the world cup circuit, finish top 20 at in the pro field at cross country race, ride trials and street the next morning, and still descend our favorite life service and shuttle trails with 10 times the style, technical prowess, and ease as we do. These guys ride the rough and tumbled trails. Hell! Sometimes they may not even be on a "trail", a bunch of 4 foot high boulders is enough for them. These are the guys I want to ride like, and, if you've ever spent an hour in the driveway trying to do endo-turns and no handed trackstands,

What a coincidence, they day my May 2009 issue, which has the story about Wilderness issues in Montana, hits my mailbox, the front page of my local paper announces the Mt. Hood Legacy bill was approved. Guess what, we lost over 110 miles of what YOUR own July 2004 issue called "some of the best singletrack in the universe". And all the Senators and Congressmen can say is "this is so great for our economy and recreational possibilities!" DUH: bikes can't be ridden in Wilderness.
As a FORMER IMBA Rep., I have been involved in this particular Wilderness Proposal for over 4 years. It is a sad day for mountain bikers in the USA. This new Wilderness has sent a bad precedent. If they use this same example in other places, ask MTB'ers to give up 57% of their access in other places, slowly but surely, we will be losing trail mileage from now on.
We did our best to refure the enviros and their lies, deciet and backstabbing, but we lost out to a better funded and organized group.

Ha, thanks for an awesome laugh. $12,000 for a Scott bike, ha ha ha. $12,000 for a "bicycle".

Your June issue has the DIY section which I really enjoyed. However, for the shock rebuild video you have the link www.bikemage.com/DIY which unfortunately does not go to the shock rebuild or anything else for that matter. I tried a search on the site and came up empty as well.

Do you accept poetry stories of working in a bike shop or travel or more? Do you accept simultaneous submissions of the same story at the same time?

Hello there all you wonderful(?) people at Bike. I am writing to comment on the Elwell Peak Trail posting in the last issue. I have ridden mountain bikes for over 25 years (I'm 49). This trail ranks as one of the most rewarding I have done (I have also ridden the Cannell Trail). The ticket is to camp at the Lakes Basin Campground off Gold Lake Highway. The trails through Lakes Basin start at your doorstep and offer many loop options. All of the options are technical, hike-a-bike excursions. Elwell can be looped in around four hours. Be prepared for a full-on backcountry experience. Get a good map.

A while back, you had an article about 50 trails in America, and one was the Lake rim trail at lake tahoe. my family is going on a road trip this summer, and we would be stopping there, but sadly, i cannot take a bike. are there any places that rent bikes out to people who wish to ride the trail?
Thanks,
Mitchell Potts
p.s. an email would be appreciated, as i am not a regular subscriber, and i have a hard time finding the magazine at bookstores... oddly, i only find it at Hollister clothing stores.

I am sorry for emailing every email address i can find but i am getting no where in letting you know i haven't received an issue from my subscription since late last year.
i really enjoy reading your magazine and it helps me as a bike shop owner keep my staff up to date as well as keep myself informed on what is going on withing the mountain bike lifestyle.
I ordered a subscription with you guys in mid to late 2008 and i was receiving my copies fine at my 1st address which was:
Jt Cycles
390 Brighton road
hove 5048
South Australia
then i was successful in changing my address to my new place of work which i received another 2 copies i think ceasing in November 2009 this address was:
Bikes Because
340 south road
Richmond 5033
south Australia
i have sent more than 5 emails to your change of address website but never herd anything....or seen any issues since early last year
i have now changed my address again to
Glenn grant
31 culvert st
park side 5063
Please reply and
