Gamut slims down the P30

Gamut P30Gamut has released a new version of the P30 chainguide, and at a claimed weight of 222 grams, the P30 is pretty impressive right out of the gate. In order to achieve this welterweight status, Gamut trimmed a lot of material from the polycarbonate bash ring, and the result is a 25% lighter piece which Gamut claims also provides greater protection. Gamut also played with the polycarbonate blend in order to achieve a better strength to weight ratio. We don’t doubt the weight reduction claim, but the large resulting holes in the bash ring make us think that this is a guide better suited to a DH race bike than your urban assault rig. Still, for all but the most abusive riders, this should offer all the protection you’ll need.

Like the model before it, the revised P30 is designed for 36t single-ring setups, and mounts up to your ISCG tabs. For you all-mountain riders, Gamut says that a dual-ring setup using the same lighter bash ring is in the works.

Some great footage of Cam McCaul sessioning the Hood River gap while filming for NWD 9.


A nice flashback to the 2006 riding scene, NWD7 has held up to the test of time surprisingly well. The riding is great, and the filming shows why the NWD series is still going strong. If you feel guilty about enjoying such a fine piece of bike video for free, then this would be the perfect occasion to grab yourself a Box of Disorder for more classic freeride goodness.


Have you been feeling that your bike is just too comfortable and efficient lately? Do you hate the mobility, simplicity, and ease of modern bikes? Well, Gizmodo has dug up the solution. There’s not much to be said other than watch the video, and then go and hug one of your, ahem, ‘real’ bikes.




This video features some great segments of dirt jumping, urban assault, and of course the ubiquitous BC singletrack with dog in tow. If nothing else, it’s worth watching just to see Carl Buchanan refuse to stop his session after breaking his handlebars in half. Carl’s street and park segment is definitely the standout of the video, and there’s little doubt that we’ll be seeing more from him in the future.




The Transition crew set out to highlight their riders who manage to hold down a full-time job, while at the same time riding at a level high enough to earn a spot on a factory team. The fact that these riders have the same amount of riding time as the rest of us, but are able to throw down with the best riders out there, is a testament to their skill and dedication.




Bang Bang tags along with two big-name freeriders, Aaron Chase and Cam McCaul, as they compete in the Qashqai Urban Challenge. The full video isn’t without its ups and downs, as it includes Chase’s season-ending injury from crashing hard off of a ladder bridge and compressing his vertebrae.
