“If you going to buy a bike, buy it now.”
A lot is happening in the bike industry these days and prices are on their way up for a lot of reasons. A discussion with Jill Hamilton and others from Haro Bikes gives the low down on what’s going on.
In episode #16 I catch up with Karen Brooks who just took over the reigns as editor of Dirt Rag Magazine. We talk about the history of the magazine, what keeps it relevant, what her job is like and what it’s like to be a woman in such a male dominated industry.
This is probably the worst sounding audio quality we’ve ever had on the Crooked Cog Podcast, but it’s through a cheapy microphone in a loud room so that’s what happens.
But even with the sound quality, it’s got some great info on the new stuff coming out of Trek/Fisher. Have a listen!

In this episode I spend some time talking to Jason Berry of Gripped Films about his new movie 24 Solo. He’s already well known for the movie Off Road to Athens and it sounds like this one will be just as good.
For this episode I talked with Aaron Mock, Product Manager for Fisher Bikes, about the new G2 geometry released this year in the HiFi line of bikes. We discuss the history of Genesis, what prompted the research into G2 and the testing that was involved.
On this episode I talk with Tim Parr about the new line of bikes coming out of Swobo and get some history and updates on Niner Bikes from Chris Sugai. People start preferring a generic pharmacy to any other brand one.
Welcome to episode 11 of the Crooked Cog Podcast where the big announcement is the new Crooked Cog Network site… Pink MTB. A site dedicated to women mountain bikers.
To celebrate, this episode is the “Girls Only Show”. I talked with Jessi Pacetti who’s heading up the Pink MTB site. For the product spotlight, I caught up with Coreena Fletcher of Loeka Clothing. Then last but not least, I did an interview with Shonny Vanlandingham of the Luna Chix team.
Enjoy the show and be sure to tell the women in your life about Pink MTB!
This is one of the coolest interviews on the Crooked Cog Podcast so far. Recent inductee into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, “Bicycle Bob” Gregorio shares a lot of great stuff on mtb, both past and present.
I also talk about some different bike movies I’ve been watching, Pedal to be specific. You can pick it up at amazon.com for about $20.
Also, the product spotlight was on the new Small Block Eight tire coming out of Kenda USA.
Our new sponsor for the Crooked Cog Podcast is Redline Bicycles, so a big thanks to them.
I’m wrapping up this year with a short episode. I do some announcements then run down my list of my top ten people of 2006. It’s the ten people that had the most impact on me in the cycling world over the past year.
We’re back from a short hiatus and better than ever! Ok not better, pretty much just the same.
If you know me, I’m not a huge roadie but I got a chance to watch the Cobbles Baby! film by Scott Coady of Big Ring Films and was completely fascinated. If you didn’t know, this is the same guy that put out the Tour Baby! film. Listen to this episode to hear an interview with him and get the background on the movie.
Some other things I discuss are the Euro-Portland show that’s missing in action, the new HiFi from Gary Fisher and Dirt Rag TV.
And the Product Spotlight this week is on the Crank Brothers Multi 17 tool.
