December 7, 2014December 7, 2014 by Eric Melson
Eric Melson reviews the 2015 Fox 36 Float, Blister Gear Review.

The redesigned 2015 Fox 36 Float is better than ever. If you’re looking for a stiff, fully adjustable mid-travel fork with a supple feel, this may be the best in class.

Avalanche Chubie Rear Shock

June 14, 2013June 13, 2013 by Tom Collier
Avalanche Chubie Rear Shock, Blister Gear Review

The Avalanche Chubie rear shock can turn a long-travel trail bike into a mini-downhill machine that can also be pedaled uphill as fast as many short-travel trail bikes. It’s a durable, adjustable, high-performance upgrade.

September 25, 2012June 5, 2012 by Marshal Olson
Niner Bikes Carbon Rigid Fork, Blister Gear Review

The Niner Bikes Carbon Rigid Fork steers great on hard-packed trails and climbs technical terrain incredibly well, but it didn’t offer the control or smoothness that reviewer Marshal Olson looks for when he decides to ride rigid.
