Avalanche Chubie Rear Shock, Blister Gear Review

Avalanche Chubie Rear Shock

June 14, 2013June 13, 2013 by Tom Collier
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
