Mountain Biking - Favorite mountain bike mag?

It appears that my "Mountain Bike" subscription is at it's end. I don't plan to renew it, partially because when I paid for the mag, I paid for the mountain bike mag specifically, not the "Bicycling" magazine that I never asked nor paid for in the first place. So instead I get a 20 page leaflet about mountain biking.. lame. So now I'm looking for a new mag. I already get "Bike" because it's got beautiful photography and some great articles. But I want another. Any suggestions? I was thinking Mountain Bike Action because I like their layouts and photos. What do you guys read? And post websites too ;)

Flow is my favorite. Then Dirt, then Mountain Biking.

Dirt Rag is the most relevant to me.

I like MBA :D

Flow and MBUK are the only two I will spend money on. Sometimes Mountain Biking becaiuse of the posters and its isn't bad. Two mags I hate are MBA and DirtRag (this is a good mag but has nothing to offer me at all)

I took a look at Dirt but can't find it in Whistler...Euro mags are far superiour to anything here.

MBA is good for seeing the latest and greatest, but it's writing sucks monkey balls and thus the reviews are crap. Aside from that the latest issue of bicycling was pretty good and dirt rag is always good for the local scene

DirtRag and BIKE do it for me. Both have online forums, if you're interested to search them out, too.

What Mountain Bike?

Don't know how much an overseas subscription would be.

MBAction seems ok,but being in Oz my preference is towards Mountain Bike Austalia or Australian Mountain Bike.
Both pretty much down to earth publications minus hype and bull**** usually associated with other rags.
Mind you there's not much of a choice where I live.

Mountain Bike Action is the way to go. If I had to choose one, that's what it would be. A good layout and tons of info per mag is the best part. I can't stand DirtRag. I''m not renewing mountain bike (which comes free now) and maybe not Bicycling - I don't like the changes.

MBUK, WhatMountainbike and MBrider ...all UK mags....excellent!!!!!! FAAAAAR superior to MBA or BIKE

I subscribe to BIKE and Dirt Rag and occasionally pick-up MBA. I was supposed to get a copy of FLOW, but never did (j/k you know who!)!

I have an old FLOW Mag if you want it...I'm sick of looking at it.

The rest of the (US)magazines and go get dropped in the toilet! Ok..on exception... dirt rag could sit next to the toilet for when I'm really board in my "reading" room

:beer:

I like AMB - Australian Mountain Bike

In addittion to MBA, I've also found that many of the UK mags available in Barnes and Noble are superior to American MTB mags, although some of the products and bikes reviewed aren't available here in the U.S. The UK mags are both much longer and contain many more reviews and MTB news updates. If we had a mag in the U.S. that was as good as some of the UK mags, it would be the only mag I would subscribe to.

Flow and MBA are my favorites. Both are pretty good, but neither have as good of information and pics as bikeforums.net ;)
