The new look for Crooked Cog and things to come
If you read this site through an RSS reader, take a moment and click over to the main site. I’ve recently revamped www.crookedcog.com.
The site’s main goal now serves as a portal to the rest of the network. Any new article that is posted across the sites will show up here so if you’re looking to keep up with all the Crooked Cog writings, this is the place for you.
My personal blog will keep rolling, however it’s taking a backseat to the ‘real’ content.
I’ve been making lots of changes to the Network over the past few months and will continue to do so.
All the site’s layouts have now been completely revamped to make them more user friendly and, while there are some readers that don’t like the new looks, the stats don’t lie. There has been a huge increase of people finding the site, sticking around to read articles and then moving deeper in to read more stuff.
As we move forward a lot of the changes will be behind the scenes. Guitar Ted will be filling more of a roll in the Crooked Cog inner workings and Arleigh is getting more involved in writing for all the sites. There’s at least one more new site in the works and I see our staff of writers increasing sometime in the Spring.
It’s good times here at Crooked Cog headquarters as this beast continues to grow. Stick around to see what happens next.

Hey Tim -
Muy excellente site! I’ve been a fan of the Blue Collar website and subscribe to emails from it and really appreciate all the hard work you and the rest of the gang do to make this such an accessible and relevant site for all us Joe and Jane Schmo’s.
I recently stumbled across the Crooked Cog Podcasts and now the mega portal to all the sites, all new to me and will be checking them out more in-depth as time allows. Thanks for the one-stop shopping of the mega portal!
Now, on to my question at hand. I really have enjoyed the podcasts and wonder if and when more will be coming. I also listen to MTBCast, and I appreciate all that Joe Polk is doing to bring weekly news updates for MTBer’s about racing in general and other immediate product/recall issues. However, I really have enjoyed the extended interviews and narrow focus of your podcasts.
Any chance we might some more in the future?
Gracias for all your hard work and happy trails!
Eric
