Hi there, welcome on the other side! Bikeblog.nl just migrated to another server and the old theme didn’t play nice to the newer version of Wordpress. Technical stuff really, so while I process all the images that are now missing, I hope you’ll just look around and find what you are looking for. If not: [...]

Nsmb: “In fact while riding in the middle ring Andrew Shandro (from Trek Design team) and I were able to have a decent conversation about the purpose of the bike. We both believe that for a bike to be truly considered a trail bike it must climb well”

Last sunday I had my first visit to Winterberg of the year! The first! The season is about done, but the weather was great and the track was in perfect shape. That and with 3 Remedy’s on the hill; it was the best time!

Congratulations to Steve Peat, who won the world championship 2009 in Canberra this weekend. Finally, it’s been long overdue and very deserving. Even Rob Warner choked up, as we all did. You nailed it, fan-f*cking-tastic!

YEAH! Bike Attack is my new favorite event! It’s on my for-sure list for next year and I’ll tell you why. The Trek Bike Attack is a 20km enduro downhill race with 2000 meters of descending and 140 meters of climbing. Starting at 2861 mtr at the Rothorn and arriving at Churwalden at 1240 mtr.

After being run over from behind during the Megavalanche in 2007, I was kinda ‘cured’ from this mega event. I still think it’s some of the best riding ever, but with over 2000 participants it’s to much for me. I’ve heard a lot about the Bike Attack in Switserland, it’s low profile and they have [...]

A little birdie send me some specs and pictures of the 2010 Trek Scratch, the all new freeride weapon. The Scratch will be set between the Session and the Remedy, as speculated, and comes with 170mm travel.

The specs on the 2010 Trek Scratch have been posted here!

Nice anodised details, in gear, grips and headset. The presumed ‘Slopestyle’ model SCRATCH, but it supports a double ring and mechanical seat-post (picture on top) so my guess is a Remedy on Steroids, like a Specialized SX competitor. Just when I told myself NOT to [...]

The good folk from Singletrackworld posted the 2010 Trek Remedy and guess what:
“a new high-end model! The Remedy 9.9 features an OCLV frame: the new Fox DCRV shock (which comes on all new 2010 Remedy models) giving a very coil-like performance, Fox TALAS forks, a Crank Bros Joplin seatpost, magnesium rocker and an all up weight [...]

My top 9 is going really well… soon I have to make up a new top 9. Just before the PPdS I ordered some gear from Maloja. But I send it back to the shop. The shorts where… too short and the material was very tick and layered.
I’ve been riding with the Raceface 3/4 DH [...]
