Biking in new places is always nice. Doesn’t matter that much what terrain, place or country. It’s just the nicest way to get the hang of a new place and discover something new. Going to Kalmar I of course bring the bike. And now back on the X2 shock. It’s just sooooo good. Doesn’t matter […]
Janne at Sundtorps cykel wanted to try a coil over on his Orbea and the length happens to be exactly the same as on my Ibis Ripmo, so I ordered a spring for my weight hoping I could try it too. And as things turned out I was first out – the X2 being in […]

One of those group rides… Lots of fun in a great company. We meet up at the local grocery store and get going Moose droppings, mushroom close ups and changing from forest to coastal trails And yes, we all end up in my garage for some hours…….
