Magura rim brakes look like a hydraulic version of the bmx pitbull brakes of the old days. You can get an optional quick-release for them which makes changing flats much easier. By looking at them...

V-brakes are an excellent choice but I relly like my Magura rim breaks. They stop faster than conventional brakes and have saved me from crashing in critical places. I only have one on the rear and...

Yeah, Ashland, that's it. You have redwoods to the south and hills all around. Not far to the coast either.

A good hardtail with good wheels is a starting point. I'm partial to steel frames because aluminum frames feel too dead. A good bike that cost $1000-1500 years ago can be had for under $500. Have...

Yup, an old screwdriver and rubbing alcohol is the way to go. It's cheap, easy and accessible. Never fails.
