The Crankfire Social Media Initiative

Well, it's the 2010's, and it has been official for about 10 years now:  we have no choice but to embrace social media.   And that's ok because this Crankfire V3 was designed with all sorts of social principles in mind - whatever that means.  So what's up?  We have established ourselves on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo, Youtube and MySpace - and we tried to make it as easy as possible for you to simply spread the love!

Your GPS Data Locker

This is part one in our series of what in hell is going on up in here.

We put a lot of effort into making this version of Crankfire as "geographically centered" as possible, and this so called "data locker" is just the start!  In a nutshell, you can "roll your own" GPS data files with this.  Or you can use it as a geo-bookmarks library.  Regardless, if you got a GPS and like maps, this is worth a read.

You are looking at Crankfire V3

Holy crap.  Things look a little different right?  Yeah they do.  That's because we have experienced an upgrade.   Everything has changed.  For the better.  Honestly!  Might take a little getting used to, but I promise this is better.

2010 Hydrapak Morro Hydration Pack

Handed off a shiny spanking new 2010 Hydrapak Morro pack to kill your atv for his expert drinking and review abilities.  Suffice to say he likes the thing!  In a nutshell it is a lightweight well thought out pack putting Hydrapak right up there with Camelbak.

2009 Hydrapak Laguna Hydration Pack

Hydrapak sent me over one of these to check out a while ago.  I wrote this review and it sat there for a while as I believed I would publish it on Crankfire V3.  So, now that V3 is here, well here the review is.  Pretty nice little pack.

DZ Nuts

"DZ-NUTS, Protect Your Junk."   Oz wrote up an extra special review about Dave Zabriskies new chamois cream.   It needed to be reprinted as an official product review.

The Kingdom Trails

E money and Mandizzle took themselves on a trip up the famous Kingdom Trails up there in East Burke, Vermont for some pre-peak leaf peeping, maple syrup, and most importantly, bicycle riding. They were good enough to snap some photos and jot down their thoughts and experiences for everyone to enjoy. It is a lot better than the crap I write and you might actually get something out of it, so be not afraid. Check it out!

Joplin R Adjustable Height Seat Post

Had this thing sitting around since spring and finally got off my dupa and installed it. Why I waited this long is now a great mystery, this thing is freaking cool! Not perfect and probably not for everyone, but if you are independently wealthy, love gadgets, respect your undercarriage and ever found yourself raising and lowering your seat post...

Looks like Nass hasn't taken much snow, we should bike out there this week. The leaves have held on well throughout the winter.

Good guys in there, a nice family run business for decades. They don't carry too much for inventory but a good place if you are looking for family style bikes.
