29ers

Posted September 25th, 2008 by Dan

Has anyone tried one of these newer bikes? I really like the idea of having a larger diameter wheel on a mountain bike, since I ride a hardtail bike and do a lot of road commuting. With standard front crank chain ring diameters and wheel sizes, you can't achieve good speed on the road, even if you're keeping up a high cadence. However, I don't like road bikes all that much and I considered buying a cyclocross, but when I saw these 29ers, I thought that might be the wiser investment. I can imagine if you put a larger diameter crank on the top ring and had some less aggressive middle tread you could achieve some decent road speeds. But then still have your bike setup for doing single track and casual trail riding. What do y'all think?

Too Long...

MFT, sorry for being MIA... I have been driving all over the midwest training and racing... I have a local race coming up (reprsenting MFT) that I have been training for... it will be 16 miles of pure dirt singletrack, goal is to always "finish" the race to avoid a DNF and then second goal is to place in the top 3 for my age class (30-34)... will be back on here once the race season is over as I will be switching to muscle development during the cold months...cheers!

I have seen some crazy claims about these products along with claims that it is an all natural product... anyone heard of, used or have any experience with these products... i am not really considering trying them but more so curious about the validity of the claims. Thanks!

Jay Robb - Whole-Grain Sprouted Brown Rice Protein

Posted April 2nd, 2009 by LoseItOnce2008

Ok team, just learned about this and am very interested....Whole Grain Sprouted Brown Rice Protein. I am a huge fan of Ezekiel Sprouted Grain breads so this seems like it would be very beneficial but am interested if anyone here on MFT has heard of Brown Rice Protein or has direct experience with any of the Jay Robb "proteins" as they are WAY more expensive than most.
