There are a lot of people who know a lot about bikes, how to set them up, which components are better, and especially how to ride them. I also know that there are many often overlooked parts on a bike, one of them being brake pads. Now I know what you are thinking, "A brake pad is a brake pad right?" Well as I recently found out you are wrong. Until recently I knew nothing about brake pads, and it really didn't bother me. "If I stop, that's all I need", was my thinking. But as I have recently discovered, different brake pads make a huge difference in braking performance, and that can lead to a more enjoyable ride, more maneuverability and better race times. I am here to share with you the information I have gathered on brake pads, hopefully you will come away knowing more about what slows you down. No one can decide for you what pads to run, but this should be a good guide, which will help you make an educated decision on what pads to you should be running.

The mountain bike scene in Manitoba is slowly growing bigger, and better, more events are popping up all around this flat province, and it's about time an event came along like this. The event will consist of a pump-track race and dirt jump competition. Our main goal is to push the sport in Manitoba and get the province recognized for biking rather than the large amount of mosquitoes. Get Pumped For The Pump Challenge!
