MTB tools built on real physics.
Trail advocacy grounded in economic data.
For riders who want to understand
the machine beneath them —
and the land beneath the machine.

What the tools actually do — in miniature.

Built to understand MTB, not just ride it.

Wheel mechanics
Wheel Strength Lab

148mm Boost vs. 157mm Super Boost hub comparison using Ford's Mode Matrix — across Compare, Simulation, and Deep Dive tabs.

IP research
MTB Patent Atlas

Mountain bike intellectual property from 1890 to 2026, across eight categories with 200+ entries and confidence-tier labeling.

Trail economics
Trail Investment ROI Calculator

Economic impact modeling for trail projects, synthesized from 13 U.S. investment studies with international currency toggle.

Suspension physics
Interactive Suspension Dynamics Laboratory

HSC/LSC damping controls, terrain-specific inputs, and an anatomically correct fork schematic for visualizing compression behavior.

Destinations
US Lift-Served Bike Parks

85+ parks across 29 states, with Loam Pass badge system and mobile-first accordion design for trail-side reference.

Destinations
Canadian Bike Parks

27 parks, bilingual EN/FR, Leaflet map, Gravity Logic and Kodiak Trail Works badge system. Fully self-contained at ~268 KB.

IP research
Dave Weagle Patent Widget

35 suspension patents with live expiration countdowns, three brand-themed color schemes, and Pinkbike iframe deployment.

Geometry
MTB Steering Geometry

Six-axis radar chart with Devinci Troy 2025 presets, corrected Whipple reference wheelbase, and bar sweep RAD correction.

Trail economics
Pump Track & Skatepark Calculator

Two-pillar economic model anchored to Kemp 2025, built for civic advocacy presentations to parks departments and councils.

Tire mechanics
MTB Tire Tread Simulator

Pacejka/FastBike tire model for comparing tread patterns across terrain types and load conditions.

Data visualization
Sports Popularity Over Time

Google Trends-style and estimated participant data across action sports, cycling, and racquet sports — charting how participation has shifted over time.

Wheel mechanics
Wheel Strength Comparison Tool

Compares 148×12 Boost to 157×12 Super Boost hubs using Matt Ford's academic research on spoke bracing angles and wheel stiffness.

Economics
MTB Inflation Dashboard

Tracks mountain bike price inflation against CPI and other economic metrics, using FRED data across multiple component and complete-bike categories.

Water & land
The Headwaters Ledger

An interactive map of Rocky Mountain water rights — tracing where the water goes, which states claim it, and the century-old interstate compacts that decide who gets what.

Trail data
Singletrack Density

Compares trail miles per capita across 26 destinations — from Moab to Squamish.

Trail advocacy
Trail Partnership Atlas

Compares Front Range Colorado towns on nonprofit trail-advocacy partnerships — COMBA, Medicine Wheel, Boulder MBA, and others — making the case that partnership is the regional norm, not the exception.

Trail advocacy
Trail Advocacy Atlas

A working directory of nonprofit MTB trail advocacy organizations across the US — grouped by state and tiered from national umbrella groups down to local chapters, with directory, map, and chart views.

Cost planning
MTB Annual Maintenance Cost Calculator

Annualized cost dials across suspension, drivetrain, and consumables, plus a Ride Worksheet that suggests part replacement based on how you actually ride.

MTB economics
Weight vs. Price MTB Scatterplot

XC, Trail, Enduro, DH, and eMTB flagship bikes plotted by price and weight, with a toggleable fit line and lb/kg, USD/CHF unit switching.

Transit policy
The Rail Automation Paradox

Robotaxis run roughly 500,000 driverless rides a week in the US, yet almost no train does — an interactive look at the automation ladder across the US, Canada, and Switzerland.

Suspension physics
The Viscosity Ledger

Two 10wt fork oils can read identical on the bottle and sit nearly 2× apart at 0 °C. Set a baseline, build two comparison setups, and watch oil choice and heat build reshape the damping curve.

Rider, advocate, builder.

Post Millennium Renaissance MTB is the work of Jon — a trail advocate, content creator, and tool builder based in Castle Rock, Colorado. The tools here are built without a formal coding background, out of a conviction that mountain bike mechanics and trail economics deserve the same rigor we bring to the trail itself.

"There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs."

— Thomas Sowell

Castle Rock's trails deserve serious investment.

Philip S. Miller Park

Economic impact research and civic presentation materials supporting trail expansion at Castle Rock's flagship mountain bike destination — delivered to Town Council with defensible ROI framing.
