When '90s MTBs Go Modern

Sent: Nov 06, 2023

The Death and Rebirth of the Fat Chance Yo Eddy

My favorite mountain bike from the early 90s was the Fat Chance Yo Eddy Team. Tragically, Fat Chance closed its doors in 2000 and its founder, Chris Chance, didn't build another bike for 15 years.

Fortunately, Fat Chance came back! Now we can all ride a modern reboot of the legendary Yo Eddy. It might use current tech and standards, but it actually stays quite faithful to the spirit of the original. Find out why I (and many others) love Fat Chance Yo Eddys, and why this modern interpretation is so unique.

Who Needs An Aero Road Bike?

One of the biggest winners of the year isn't a rider or a brand, but a TYPE of bike. I'm talking about aero road bikes. The world's best racers have been taking huge wins aboard aero bikes and current aero models like the S5, Madone, and Aeroad are our hottest commodities.

But do aero bikes make sense if you're not a pro racer? I spoke to an aero expert and learned that aero equipment can make a bigger difference for regular riders than you might guess.
