Blunt Wheels 26" and 29" Review and Contest
I am happy to announce the return of our colored Velocity Blunt wheels. We now have 29" and 26" wheels in a ton of colors: red, blue, yellow, orange, black, white, green, pink, brown, and purple!

I have been using the Blunt rims on my 29er for about a year now. The rims are super strong. So far they've withstood drops, curbs, head on into rocks, stair sets and downed trees. The rims just keep taking the abuse and I have not yet had to stop and true them once. With the rims laced up to some good Shimano XT hubs this is pretty much the best all around wheelset I think money can buy. They work great and look great!

I am going to have Marc put a pair on his bike this next week and try them for his impression of the wheel set. Look for his review soon.

Check out all of the wheels that we have HERE
Contest!!!
I would like some lucky individual to win a set of our Blunt wheels here. Please comment on ideas for a great contest. I am thinking picture contest right now but leave a comment on your idea.

Until recently I have just never thought much about my gloves. Fox, Bontrager, Azonic, Pearl Izumi, and so on. I think that over the years I have had and tried them all. Fox's gloves always seemed to work the best for me. That was until I got in touch with POW gloves. I had never heard of them before or seen anything they made. They are a smaller company based out of Seattle that just does gloves. Check out their website www.powgloves.com.
Now after about a month of riding my pair of Pow Ozone gloves I have to say that they are pretty close to the best fitting gloves that I have ever owned. The palms are made out of a soft synthetic leather that has no binding or bunching around the handle bars. Props to Pow on the cut of the palm. Last I can remember is that no other glove came close to this kind of form fitting palm. So with all the nice fitting features there has to be a down side. Yep there is, there is no real good place to wipe your nose on. A little let down but something I can deal with. Lastly the ample cuff and generous velcro tab make these gloves a sure thing. Easy on and easy off even while on the bike.

You can find the Pow Glove on our web store by clicking HERE. If you see a color, size, or model you like on Pow's website let me know and we can get if for you.
