Three downhill specialists from Fort William win Benromach 10 Under The Ben Trio Category.

Three downhill specialists from Fort William – Alistair MacLennan (ex Masters Downhill Champion), Joe Barnes (2nd NPS Downhill Series 2008 ) and Liam Moynihan – beat off the strong competition from cross country endurance riders to win the Male Trio category of the Benromach 10 Under The Ben endurance race in style! To keep the riders and spectators entertained, on Saturday 30 May 2009, the ‘Faster than the Shirleys’ team completed their 11 laps of the 10-mile course topless; and enjoyed a deserved dram of Benromach single malt whisky at the finish.

We received over 3,000 photos from the US Open weekend and had to pick 2 as winners for the US Open Photo Contest. The winner of the best DH shot is taking home a Shimano SAINT groupo and the winner of the Giant Slalom photo is picking up a brand new BOS N’dee fork.

Check out the winning shots and honorable mentions inside!

Pinkbike.com’s own Casey Groves is now on Geax tires. Casey is stoked to be joining the likes of Cam Zink on the Geax team and will be running their tires on all his Transition bikes this season. His tires of choice are the Saguaro, The Booze Lights and the DHEA, so expect to see him at various comps and riding areas representing the tire brand. Not one to keep rubber side down, Casey has already flipped and tail whipped his way to a victory at Ranch Style in Colorado, so keep your eyes peeled for him at Goat Style next month!

Simple & effective, we have here a bike stand from NoLimits, a UK based company offering products aimed at the racers among us.

Sometimes someone brings a product to your attention which makes you take a second look. I for one frequently want to stand the bike up after a run to do some basic work without dropping it on the ground or having to carry a full work stand around. Something small and simple would be ideal, so when I was offered a stand from NoLimits to use, I immediately grabbed it. The NoLimits stand is very similar to that which you will find in use by most of your local bike stores to display their bikes but this has a few subtle differences.
