Mountain bike gloves arent just a nice-to-have, theyre kind of a must-have. The most obvious reason to wear gloves on the trails is that they protect your hands from serious carnage in the event of a crash. But mountain bike gloves also absorb vibration on bumpy trails, keep sweaty hands from slipping off the bars, defend against blisters, and shield the front of your hands from wayward branches.MTB gloves are basically under-recognized, under-appreciated super-heros, right?That said, some gloves are more Spiderman-y than others. Ive tested a bunch of gloves and surveyed the women in this community to pick out the best womens mountain bike gloves out there.These are gloves that fit well (even for small hands), provide comfort and protection, and are durable enough to last an entire season (or more)! Some are also pretty cute because, lets be honest, thats important too.Here are my faves Shredly Mountain Bike GlovePrice: $29 (get 10% off using my link )Buy at Shredly.comShredly makes my favorite mountain bike shorts, and surprise, surprise, they make my favorite mountain bike gloves too! Shredly is a womens-specific mountain bike apparel company so everything they design is designed for WOMEN. One of my biggest complaints about mountain bike gloves from most brands is that theyre usually unisex and come in like three sizes, leaving small to supposedly fit all women. The Shredly gloves are sized specifically for women and come in SIX (!!!) sizes, so youre actually ensured a good fit. I followed their size chart and what do you know, my gloves fit like a glove. That improved fit means more dexterity, touchscreen-compatible fingertips, and way less time spent taking them on and off out on the trail. Oh, and theyre incredibly cute. They come in a wide variety of prints, and they match the rest of the Shredly apparel line if you want to put together a super cute fit.For summer riding, these are awesome. Theyre lightweight enough that you can actually feel the grips through them, and the thin uppers provide good airflow on those ridiculously hot days. The flip side is that the thinner construction means less durability and less protection for gravity riding or overgrown trailsand theyre definitely not a winter glove. Wild Rye Galena Bike GlovePrice: $49Buy at Wild-Rye.comThe Wild Rye Galena gloves are named after one of my favorite places to bike and eat (the Galena Lodge and Galena trails near Ketchum, ID). I feel like for that reason I have to like them, BUT theyre pretty great gloves on their own accord as well.They dont come in quite as many sizes as the Shredly gloves, but there are 4 sizes and the smallest of those fits even the tiniest handsmuch appreciated. While the gloves are pretty minimal and provide good dexterity, they do have a little bit of extra gel padding right at the heel of the hand which can be really nice on hour three of a ride. These are some of my favorites to pick for longer days in the saddle.And like all things Wild Rye, they come in cute colors and patterns, and pair nicely with a Wild Rye kit.They are great in summer weather, and for gravel and trail riding, but youll want something more substantial for gravity or winter riding. The tops also snag easily (but no holes).Trail Manos Price: $30 Buy at TrailManos.comTrail Manos makes simple but durable gloves. They have zero padding, no mesh, but the materials and fabrics are sturdy. Mine are as dirty and beat up as can be, but theyre still going strong! If youre really crazy tough on gloves, then you can join the Trail Manos Club, where for $11 a month, youll get a new pair delivered to your doorstep each month. The biggest draw to the Trail Manos gloves is the WIDE VARIETY of designs. Find a design for your favorite state, your favorite pup, or order custom gloves for you and your friends. My gloves are for the NICA team Im a coach for! These are unisex gloves which means you may not get AS precise of a fit, but the XS and S sizes fit smaller hands pretty well. Things to Think About When Buying a Mountain Bike GloveFitFor some weird reason, its hard to find womens mountain bike gloves that have a good fit. For most women, mens gloves are way too big, but womens-specific gloves can feel like they were made for little kids. Cmon bike industry!That said, weve tried to make notes above of which gloves run really small, so you can always order a size up or look for a different glove.If you have really big hands or really long fingers, you might also want to try looking for a pair of mens gloves. Also note, that even if a glove intitially feels a little tight, they do usually stretch some with time. Bike gloves should fit tighter and have less loose material than a pair of work gloves for instance.Wrist ClosureThe best kind of wrist closure is largely a matter of personal preference. Do you like a snug secure fit, or do you like being able to take your gloves on and off in a hurry? For me personally, I prefer a slip-on/slip-off glove without a velcro or hook-and-loop closure so I can take pictures with my phone / check my Trailforks app, and dig in my bag for snacks for my 6-year-old. Slip-on wrist closureVelcro wrist closureBreathability and DurabilityThinner, lighter gloves generally breathe better for hot weather and can feel less bulky and provide more trail feedback. That said, they are less durable and will usually wear out sooner. They also provide less protection both in terms of armor on the front of the hands and padding on the palms. This pair of gloves has a breathable mesh top but has worn quicklyChoose a pair of gloves that matches the climate you ride in, the amount of vegetation you ride through, and how much padding you like. Also consider how long you want the gloves to last. Is it okay if you only get one season out of them?

Youve taken the time to research the perfect bike and spent your hard-earned cash to bring said bike home, but you may have forgotten one crucial part of the equation: how are you going to transport your noble steed safely? Look no further than the Thule T2 Pro XTR. I have had a number of bike racks throughout my cycling career, and have never trusted a rack as much as I trust the Thule T2 Pro XTR.Review in a NutshellPros: Fits a wide range of wheel sizes and tire widths (including 20 wheels) Durable High carrying capacity (60 lbs per bike) HitchSwitch allows easy full trunk accessCons:Heavy Integrated locks arent robust enoughPrice (MSRP): $899Buy at REI.comBuy at Amazon.comWhy I Chose The Thule T2 Pro XTRAfter several recommendations and hours of research, heres how I decided on the Thule T2 Pro XTR rack:Versatility & AdjustabilityAs someone who takes the n+1 rule very literally, versatility is important to me. I have a lot of bikes, and finding a rack suitable for all of them can be difficult. I dont want to have to pick a side on The Great Mountain Bike Wheel Size Debate, and Thule didnt want to either. The T2 Pro XTR rack is able to transport bikes with 20 to 29 wheels without any additional adapters. There are not too many racks out there that fit 20 bikes without adapters, or even at all, so this rack is a great option for families with little shredders.The rear closure is also incredibly adjustable. The mount slides seamlessly along the tray to fit a wide range of wheelbases. The ratchet straps are adjustable as well and can fit 700 x 23 road tires with the same confidence as 26 x 5.0 fat bike tires, and again, without additional parts. Thule does say that this rack will not fit a 27.5 fat bike, the limiter would be the front ratcheting arm. I have fit bikes with 27.5 x 3.0 wheels and tires, but can see how anything larger might pose a problem.Weight & Carrying CapacityHitch racks are heavy, and this rack is no exception. Coming in at around 52 pounds, this rack is not the lightest on the market, but since I am a set it and forget it type of rack user, this was not a huge concern for me. I much prefer durability to lightweight. I previously owned a four-bike rack that weighed less than the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2-bike rack, but that rack only made it two trips before I ran into issues. My Thule has been on my car for the last six months, and I have not even had to tighten anything yet.This hefty rack is not overbuilt for no reason this rack has one of the higher carrying capacities on the market. Along with adjustability, this was one of the most important factors that led to my decision. Most of my bikes weigh over 30 pounds, and my e-bikes top out close to 50 pounds. The T2 Pro XTR has an impressive weight limit of 60 pounds per bike for both the 2 and 1-1/4 receiver options.There is a 2-bike add on available to bring the carrying capacity up to four bikes, but only for the 2 receiver. Thule T2 Pro XTR rack photoed with a 2017 Stumpjumper Pro with 27.5 x 3.0 tires. Whats HotThe Thule T2 Pro XTR has some really cool features, and now that I know they exist, I will never be able to live without.The HitchSwitch might be my favorite feature on this rack. The HitchSwitch is a handle positioned at the end of the rack. This handle is easy to grab with one hand and allows you to tilt the rack up when not in use, or tilt down when you need to access the trunk. Other racks hide the release lever under the bike trays, making it especially difficult to lower the rack when bikes are loaded. Even with 800mm wide mountain bike handlebars, when the rack is tiled down, I am able to fully open the trunk of my SUV.Another unique feature to the Thule T2 Pro XTR is the lateral adjustability of the trays. This is the first bike rack I have owned that gives you mounting options for the trays.I have some wide handlebars on my mountain bikes, and I tend to transport two at a time. I was able to set the rack up where the trays are slightly offset so the handlebars do not get in the way of the other bikes seat / post.Not unique to Thule, but another huge perk is the integrated locks. The rack has a cable lock on each ratcheting arm to secure the bikes to the rack. The rack also has a lock at the hitch so the rack cannot be taken off the car without a key. The HitchSwitch allows the user to raise and lower the rack easily with one hand. and whats not.Surprisingly, the integrated locks. While the locks are nice to have in case you need to grab some Pop-Tarts on the way to the trail, the cables are much too short to trust for a long period of time. I understand there are limiting factors when creating a fully integrated lock, but it would be nice to have a couple of extra inches to work with. I leave a cable lock in my car to supplement the integrated locks if I know I will need to leave the bikes unattended. Now, I might be dreaming here, but this rack would be absolutely perfect with the addition of a work stand. I didnt think I would ever use the work stand attachment on the Kuat NV*, but after a few rough days at the bike park, I became a big fan of the Trail Doc. However, based on the way the Trail Doc is installed on the NV, the addition of a work stand on the Thule might have to replace the HitchSwitch, and I am not sure that is something I would be willing to give up. Work stands dont take up too much space in a car, so this definitely was not a deal-breaker for me, it just would have been a nice perk. The integrated cable locks are great in a pinch, but bring an additional cable lock if you plan to leave bikes unattended. TakeawayI love this rack and recommend it to anyone who asks. I have so much confidence that this rack will get my bikes where they need to go without issue. Thule racks are known to last and based on my initial impressions, the T2 Pro XTR will live up to this reputation. The versatility of this rack is impressive, and the price point is competitive for what the rack has to offer.More Stuff You Might LikeKuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack ReviewPacking Tips for a Multi Day Mountain Bike TripDont Wear Underwear With Bike Shorts & 5 Other Tips On How To Wear Bike ShortsKira Maickehas been an avid cyclist since 2010.

Comment & Analysis:Recently, IrishCycle.com reported that the National Transport Authority confirmed its support for the approved Tallaght Village project and that councillors highlighted the spread of misinformation. In the same article, IrishCycle.com then detailed examples of that misinformation.And to be clear, it was not just this website claiming there was misinformation; councillors were pointing to it as well.One of the groups involved, Save Tallaght Village, claims there was no misinformation. So, lets have a look at those claims and look at what was actually said and reported: Main Street access vs roads will be restricted solely to buses and bicyclesMaybe the key issue is the misinformation included in the petition, which was set up against the project. On the claims in the petition, I reported:But it is untrue to claim that roads will be restricted solely to buses and bicycles. Through traffic will not be able to rat run via Main Street, but access for private motorists and deliveries will be maintained. And while detailed design and planning are ongoing, objectors may be on safer ground claiming parking bays on the public street are to be removed, no private or business-owned parking bays are to be removed, so it is misleading to claim all all business and resident parking bays will be removed.Ill take Save Tallaght Villages response on this in two parts. This is the first part of what they said:Firstly Main Street is not a rat run, there are two additional set of traffic lights coming to and from the village. With the Part 8, the only vehicles to be able to move from top of the village to the bottom are buses and bicycles. The council have determined that there is rat running, saying its 70% of traffic. In fairness, this website or Save Tallaght Village has not see this data, but theres more than that data to suggest rat running, including a councullor saying they do it to aboid the traffic on the bypass while the name has a edge to it, its something people do without thinking a lot of the time, and theres a natural rat run route via and even from some of the car parks to the west and south of the village to locations east and north east of the village.Now, you could say, whats the harm in driving thought just a short bit? But the main idea here is to give buses priority and reduce through traffic to make the village centre a more pleasant place.And part two of Save Tallaght Villages response:Access to where? The parking spaces are going. There will be a loading bay shared with residents and business. This is for residents to off load their shopping and then move their cars to another road. Have you visit Tallaght Village? There are no private or business owned parking bays.Yes, I have been to Tallaght Village more than a few times. For starters, a loading bay alone would count as access traffic. But theres more than that.In the above text, I was mainly referring to the off-street parking, which can only be accessed via Main Street, but I find it amazing that a group thats asking me if I have even been to the village is claiming theres no private parking there and implying no need for access besides the use of a loading bay.Theres clearly more than a few premises on Main Street which have access from Main Street on both sides of the planned bus gate location (roughly marked with a red X in the image below just to be clear: not all of them are for public use, but that private access is still access.I also did not mention on-street only parking. On Main Street, Macaris etc (and yes, they list themself as Main Street) clearly have their own parking spaces on what are often referred to as private landings this is privately owned spaces along a street usually behind footpaths and with little or no fencing or walls, etc.There is very clearly also The Priory. Access will also be maintained to it. Why would that not count as access? And access traffic includes not just loading bays, but a motorist dropping off a passenger.Plus, the council is apparently going to work to maintain some public on-street parking, but even if we run with the idea that the council cannot be trusted to do that, there are more than a few examples of access traffic being needed. So why are Save Tallaght Village pretending otherwise? Are they sure they have been to the village?NTA support for the projectThe group references what I reported as follows (Ive now bolded the word reposted):But despite officials reassuring councillors at the council meeting that the NTA now supports the village project, a Facebook group against the project reposted an advertisement they ran in the local Echo newspaper, which included the claim that the NTA objects to bus throttles and the gate on Main St in this Part 8.Save Tallaght Village responded:The NTA put in a submission into the Part 8 that they objected to the bus throttles and gate and at the council meeting on the 8th of June we heard the council had met the NTA and they were happy. When we ran the advert on the 28th May and 4th of June this still was the caseAs highlighted in bold text above, in what I reported, the issue was not with the advert but with reposting that fact sheet on Facebook after the Part 8 planning was past. In other words, after it was made clear that the NTA supported the project, changes were made.Traffic data availabilityI reported:Despite claims from objectors that there are no traffic counts, Walsh said that the council has traffic count data and that a conservative estimate is that 70% of the traffic on Main Street does not stop in the village. In other words, it is rat-running traffic.Save Tallaght Village responded as follows: We requested traffic counts from the council on 5 occasions before the vote for the part 8. There was no response from the council leaving us to believe there was no traffic data.But the problem here is that posting something as fact when its not is still misinformation.Reposting it after the Part 8 approval meeting, as part of the same fact sheet above, really counts as disinformation.Another bit on the NTA and the projectI reported:A post last week implied that the NTA did not support the scheme after it was made clear that they do. When contacted by this website, a spokesperson for the NTA said: Following discussions with the Council Executive, the NTA is satisfied that the Council will develop the Tallaght Village Enhancement Scheme through the remaining design stages in conformity with the Tallaght/Clondalkin to City Centre Core Bus Corridor (CBC) Scheme, which forms part of the overall Bus Connects Dublin programme. Just to be clear: The article was not just about debunking what objectors to the project said, and the references to the NTA changing their minds were to cover how they did so, as a previous article on this website includes a substantial bit about how the NTA was against the project. Anyway.Save Tallaght Village responded:Again, I addressed this at point number 1. We were informed of this at the meeting on the 8th June. More backroom shenanigans.Again, the problem is that the group was reposting a fact sheet after that meeting, which claimed the NTA disapproved. But thats one thing.Posting that misinformation and then claiming there were More backroom shenanigans is just ridiculous. A council meeting, any group in private, does not make what they are doing backroom shenanigans. And its clearly not so to meet another State body which has a project in the area, which is going to be implemented alongside the councils project.Play areasI reported:As another example, when Cllr Jess Spear appeared on RTE News speaking about the project, she mentioned: places for children to play. The Save Tallaght Village page posted a clip of the councillor speaking and said: More fake news There is nothing in the Part 8 about a childrens play area. There is a proposed teen space that is completely different. But the council officials have outlined how the plan includes incidental play areas for children, and, in any case, teenagers under 18 are also children. Incidental play areas are not playgroups but rather informal spaces designed where children can play in public spaces.Save Tallaght Village responded:Where ? Please point these out on the mapI feel this is going into nitpicking detail when the detailed design is still to be done, and it really misses the point that teenagers are actually children, too. I know teenagers have a bad reputation in some peoples eyes, but they are also residents, and until they are 18, they are children.The creation of incidental playable spaces is dependent on the creative use of the public realm to provide enjoyment and discovery for children and young people for example through the creation of landscaping and high-quality public art. These spaces can, with good design, be multifunctional offering a range of leisure and recreation opportunities for users of all ages as well as being playable. The playable space typology in Table 4.6 builds on the multifunctional concept of playable play and defines a hierarchy of play provision.It is not always something that will be shown on a higher-level design. Incidental play areas are like the walkway through the planting area, as explained in the Part 8 presentation: With out consultation with all the stakeholdersI reported:Back in April, when the decision on the Part 8 plan was postponed, the group also said: They are expecting a new design then in June which they can push through with out consultation with all the stakeholders. However, this is a misrepresentation of the Part 8 process the new design is part of the Part 8 process and was developed based on feedback from the public and groupsSave Tallaght Village responded:There was no decision in April to postpone Part 8. The part 8 new design was due to be spoken about at the Tallaght Area Committee meeting in April, but the Cllrs decided not to speak about it and pushed the conversation out to the full meeting on the 8th JuneIn the article, the line Back in April, when the decision on the Part 8 plan was postponed, the group also said: has been shortened to Back in April, when the decision on the Part 8 plan was postponed, the group also said:. A clarification note has also been added to the article. IrishCycle.com is happy to amend the article and add clarity. But while I am happy to amend the other article, as with a lot of the points of reply, the group has willfully or not missed the central point. In this case, the fact that they were misrepresenting the nature of the Part 8 process. Councils are run by humans so, like most of the rest of us, they dont always get things right. But attacking councils for a normal part of the process a part that included fixing issues the objectors had too has a toxic effect on the trust in our public bodies.And its worth highlighting when I say the above, this is only some of the misinformation covered in the article the group was, for example, also all too willing to repost claims from conspiracy theory spreader Cllr Linda de Courcy (Independent Ireland) who claimed that the proposal to remove vehicular traffic AND parking spaces from Tallaghts Main Street and replace this with a bus lane. The Save Tallaght Village group knew there was no bus lane replacing all the parking or traffic lanes, but they were happy to repost the claim. This is sadly becoming more and more of a common issue where groups against projects are all too willing to give an unclear or outright distorted view of a project, often claimed as fact.This may seem more important when key issues like access are being discussed. But consistently flinging baseless muck at projects and public processes is not healthy for our community or even our democracy.

Vittoria is expanding its Gravel Endurance tire range with new 700x50c and 700x55c sizes across most of its Terreno lineup. That means the Terreno T10, T30, T50, and T70 now get both 50mm and 55mm options, while the mud-focused Terreno T80 gets a new 700x50c size.For those keeping score in mountain-bike terms, Vittoria says the new sizes are roughly equivalent to292.0 inand292.25in. (All Photos/Vittoria)But Vittoria is not just chasing bigger numbers for fun. The move follows where the category has already been heading. Modern gravel bikes have more clearance. Riders are taking them onto rougher terrain. Bikepackers are carrying more gear. Racers are looking for more grip and more confidence. And plenty of riders have already been sneaking MTB tires onto gravel bikes when the course looks especially angry.Why 50 and 55mm?For years, 40mm and 45mm tires were the sweet spot for gravel. They still are for many riders. They roll well, clear most frames, and handle a wide range of mixed surfaces.But gravel is no longer one thing.One riders gravel is champagne dirt and farm roads. Another riders gravel is baby-head rocks, singletrack connectors, washed-out descents, and 100 miles of who approved this route? terrain. Add bikepacking bags, long days, bad weather, and modern frames with big clearance, and suddenly a 50mm or 55mm tire makes a lot of sense.The advantages are not complicated. A wider tire gives you a larger contact patch, lets you run lower pressure, and generally improves comfort, traction, and control. On rough gravel, that can mean more speed because the bike is skipping around less. On loaded trips, it can mean fewer impacts through your hands, back, and teeth.The key is to use the width without sacrificing the ride feel that makes gravel tires efficient. Thats where Vittoria is aiming with the new Terreno sizes.Gravel Tread, Not MTB TreadVittoria is not saying, Just put mountain bike tires on your gravel bike. Its saying wider gravel tires can give riders some of the stability and comfort they want without moving into full MTB tread behavior.MTB tires are great for the forest and wooded conditions, but they arent a one-to-one swap with gravel treads. MTB tires can offer more aggressive knobs, thicker casing, greater weight, and higher rolling resistance than a rider may need for mixed gravel terrain. That can be great when the course is mostly mountain biking with drop bars, but it is not always the fastest or most comfortable setup for long gravel rides or races.The expanded Terreno Gravel Endurance range offers more width while retaining gravel-specific tread patterns. That means the tire choice can still match the terrain: hardpack, fine loose, mixed surfaces, coarse loose, or mud.Which Models Get the New Sizes?The new sizing rolls out across the Gravel Endurance range like this:Terreno T10: 700x50c and 700x55cTerreno T30: 700x50c and 700x55cTerreno T50: 700x50c and 700x55cTerreno T70: 700x50c and 700x55cTerreno T80: 700x50c onlyPrice: $81.99The T10 through T70 models are available in both black and brown sidewall versions. The T80 is listed in black sidewall only.Vittoria.comThe post Vittoria Goes Bigger with 50mm and 55mm Terreno Gravel Endurance Tires appeared first on Bikerumor.

Trek might want to check the background before uploading its next documentary.Earlier today, we spotted what looked like a very suspicious, very large-wheeled Trek XC race bike hiding in the background of The Journey: The Untold Story of Trek. Maybe 32-inch. Maybe a test mule.But definitely enough to get the screenshot crowd fired up.Now theres another one.In a different scene from the same documentary, Trek might have let a new road bike slip. In its new documentary, you can see the new Madone, Domane, or monda hidden in plain sight. And because this is Trek, were going to stare at it for a long minute.You know, for journalism.(Screenshot/Youtube)What Are We Looking At?This is a totally new design from Trek and a departure from some of the silhouettes in their current road lineup. The head tube area is especially interesting. It looks broad, stiff, and highly shaped, with a very clean transition into the top tube and down tube.(Screenshot/Youtube)At the rear, the mystery bike uses a round seatpost and lacks the ISO-Speed/Flow suspension system. The system looks more like a wedge-type or binder-type. But the seatpost area is definitely a new design for Trek, and the same goes for the headtube area.Still, its enough to ask: is this a future Trek road platform?Treks limited-edition The First 50 ICON Madone SLR 9 AXS. (All photos/Trek)New Madone? Domane? monda?This is where things get murky.The current Madone Gen 8 already does the one race bike to replace two thing. Trek folded the lightweight climbing identity of monda and the aero race identity of Madone into a single flagship race platform. So if this mystery bike is a new race machine, it would likely be the next development step for Madone rather than a clean return of monda.(Screenshot/Youtube)That said, the proportions in the screenshot dont scream Domane. Domane is Treks endurance road line, with a comfort/long-distance focus, performance, but not totally. This bike looks sharper, more aggressive, and more aero-focused from what we can see.Could it be a concept frame or an internal design study? MaybeCould it be a future road prototype sitting in plain sight in an official Trek documentary, right after what looks like a 32-inch XC race bike also appeared in the same film?Thats where this gets fun.(Photo/Cory Benson)Why It Might MatterTrek is in an interesting spot with road bikes right now.The Madone Gen 8 is already a big statement: lighter, aero, cleaner, and positioned as the all-around race bike. But road development never stops, and the next question is obvious: where does Trek go from here?A future road platform could push further toward integration, lighter aero-tube shaping, wider tire clearance, and improved cockpit fit. It could also mean Trek is experimenting with the split between race and endurance again.Endurance bikes are increasingly becoming World Tour-ready. The new Canyon CFR Endurace made this super clear.So, maybe the next Domane gets racier, or the next Madone gets even lighter. No matter what, it looks like 2027 is gonna be a big year for Trek.Same Documentary, Two Mystery Bikes?The timing is the best part, Eurobike is in full swing, and Trek is snagging some cool press sitting from home.First, theres the large-wheeled XC bike hiding in the background possibly tied to Trek Factory Racings current prototype placeholder setup and the bigger 32-inch wheel conversation. Now, in another shot, theres a road bike that looks just different enough to make you wonder.That doesnt mean Trek is launching two new bikes tomorrow. It does mean the documentary may have accidentally become the best Trek product leak of the week.And honestly, thats very funny.A 50-year brand history film is supposed to make you think about the past. Instead, were over here zooming into the background like absolute maniacs trying to figure out if the future of XC and road just wandered into frame.The post Did Trek Also Sneak a New Road Bike Into Its Documentary? appeared first on Bikerumor.
