09.29.09On show: Interbike 2009 Part 5Shimano's new M160 mountain bike shoe aims at core users with its reasonable US$150 price tag and plentiful helping of trickle-down features.

In addition, the interior of the shoe sports a surprisingly stout ...

09.29.09On show: Interbike 2009 Part 7The new Helium travel case from Canadian upstart Biknd aims to blend the protection of a hard travel case but the weight and convenience of a soft case thanks to an innovative layout that features inflatable padding instead of traditional foam.

09.29.09On Show: Interbike Part 6Easton says its new EC90 TT carbon tubular road wheelset is not only its fastest yet, but supposedly can even go toe-to-toe (and then some) with Zipp's venerable 808. The carbon rims measure an aggressive 90mm in depth while the special R4 TT front hub features both extra-narrow spoke flanges to reduce frontal area as well as aero-profile end caps to further cut drag. Just sixteen Sapim bladed stainless steel spokes are used out back, while the front makes-do with only twelve. Variable Nipple Bed ...

09.29.09How Cadel conquered the worldIt's often said that talent isn't much without hard work. But what about when talent and hard work aren't accompanied by a dose of good old-fashioned luck? Cadel Evans is living proof that when the three are combined the results are spectacular. Considered Australia's preeminent grand tour rider, for a long time Cadel Evans has also been a notable protagonist in one-day races such as La Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. On Sunday in Mendrisio, Switzerland, he showed ...

09.26.09Reborn Valverde to take Vuelta victoryIn essence, this Vuelta has proved that there are two different Valverdes. The pre-2009 version was an explosive rider, one who scooped victories throughout the year, who nabbed stages in Grand Tours but who always fell apart on at least one day during a three week race. This year's version is a rider who has become more of a mathematician, one who calculates his effort to remain consistent throughout. Alejandro Valverde, 29, previously had a smattering of Grand Tour stages but no overall victory; ...

09.26.09On show: Interbike 2009 Part 1Revamped ASR Carbon and all-new DJ from Yeti Yeti Cycles' highly praised ASR Carbon cross-country frame will head into 2010 with the same front triangle as last year but an all-new carbon rear end. A claimed 50 percent leap in overall stiffness – with the same weight as last year – is expected to yield a quicker pedal response but also more precise tracking for improved handling predictability, especially in rougher terrain.

09.26.09On show: Interbike 2009 Part 2Moots unveils new Vamoots RSL road frame Moots is continuing to stick to its titanium guns with a new Vamoots RSL (Race Super Light) road frame that it claims to be its best performer to date. Claimed weight for a 56cm frame is just 1,180g (2.6lb) but its healthily proportioned down tube, chain stays and seat tube supposedly make it Moots' stiffest ever, too. Butted 3/2.5 titanium tubing (made for Moots by Reynolds) is used throughout, save for the spindly seat stays that use a stronger 6/4 alloy ...
