Dirt or asphalt, mountain or urban, geared or singlespeed—the moniker Chameleon has never rang more true than on this updated-for-2017 Santa Cruz classic. Upsized to either 29-inch or 27.5+ wheels, the Chameleon shifts from trail rally sled to bikepacker to winter slayer with simple, elegant aplomb. The wheel change is accomplished via interchangeable dropouts, and there's a singlespeed version for each wheel size—geared dropouts are 148mm-spaced, and singlespeed are 142mm.
Krankin Kids is a hit. Starting out with 40 kids in the first offering, it climbed to 108, then a massive 120 kids last week - all stoked to be riding their bikes.
Here at Santa Cruz Bicycles and Juliana Bicycles New Zealand we are really proud to be supporting the next generation of shredders here in our hood.
When the entry date for the Dodzy Memorial Enduro rolled round I was probably calmer than most as I knew I wouldn't race but partake once again as a volunteer, stoked! No one looks after their volunteers like Nick and the crew at the gorge, it is a rad weekend with epic food, good entertainment, swimming and our own volunteers ride day up there at a later date - I felt I got the better deal!
But as it drew closer to race date something in my mind changed and I suddenly really really wanted to race! Now I felt rather stressed about the fact that I might not find an entry!? But as things in life have a tendency to it worked out in the end and my name was on the list!
