Sporks and a Barrel | Clever Tools To Make Your Life Easier (Product Review)

Overall Review
Sure, some of us are a bit more clumsy that others, but we still felt a bit miffed when somebody sent us a pair of sporks out of the blue. What’s next, shrink-wrap meal trays? Upon closer inspection however, it turned out that we were not looking at airline-grade cutlery but rather a clever new set of tire levers that double as a quick link pliers for your chain. Also included in the box was a nifty looking barrel tool of some kind, which of course ended up being a chain breaker. Meet the “Clever” series.

Long Term Tested: SRAM X01 Eagle 1x12 Drivetrain (Product Review)

Overall Review
On a summer trip to Whistler, a few friends and I ditched the lift line in favor of the lesser traveled trails on nearby Blackcomb. The ride began just like any other - popping wheelies and cracking jokes as we made our way to the base of the mountain. Then the pitch kicked up a few notches. My friends and I attacked the mountain with enthusiasm, vying for position along the way. "This trail is so good you guys, you're going to love it," I promised. "Just 15 minutes more and we'll be there." For those familiar, you'll know that the climb up Blackcomb is an unrelenting beast of a fire road slog...
