29″ wheels on a bike…? I was a hater, straight up. The first wagon-wheeled bikes made tandem recumbent look like a better time. A 29er hardtail was like a healthy doughnut, you just knew it wasn't any good. With time and acceptance came a whole new breed of 29″ wheeled bikes. Traditional trail bike and gravity oriented company's began stamping out designs. With just the right amount of timing, like playing the stock market, the moment to bite was here. Mike Stanley, our Niner Bikes rep, had the right bait on the hook and set it.

Unknown to many… There is an abundance of Highland Cold Mountain Winter Ale still available! In the storage refrigeration, at the Pisgah Tavern, there is believed to be over 500 pints worth of heavenly nectar. It came at a cost: The hoarder, who remains unnamed, sacrificed much to make this discovery and share it with others. So…. Come by the Pisgah Tavern, located at the entrance of Pisgah National Forest, and enjoy a draft pint, 22oz bomber, or blue bottle 1liter of Highland's Cold Mountain Winter Ale. Case Specials and $3.50 pints

A new addition to the SHIMANO XTR Dyna-Sys drive train is the RD-M985 SHADOW PLUS rear derailleur. It features a switch at the pulley cage to enforce a heavierspring tension and activate a friction stabilizer to counteract the forces of up and down chain momentum in rough terrain. Chain bouncing can often cause noise as the chain slaps the top and bottom of the chain stay, or even derail from the front chain ring in extreme circumstances. The switch when selected to the "ON" position dampens the cage and consequent chain movement for a nearly silent and stable riding experience. In the "OFF" position it eases the installation and removal of the rear wheel by relaxing the spring tension of the cage.

The Hub at Backcountry Outdoors is conveniently located at the entrance to Pisgah National Forest. The Hub offers a great line of mountain bikes, great service, and the latest in demos and rentals. The helpful and energetic staff is ready for anything. The HUB was established in 1992. Backcountry Outdoors was started in the 1990s. Then in 2007 the Bike shop was bought out of Backcountry Outdoors and The Hub was started. Then, in 2010 the owners of The Hub bought the rest of Backcountry Outdoors.Now the businesses have merged and expanded, and added The Pisgah Tavern with six beers on tap.
