White lines…

Posted by RL Policar On April - 24 - 2008

In the words of Grand Master Flash
(Ooh White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin’ through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High price) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

Ok ok, relax, I’m not talking about blow, but I’m talking about my new White Chain by KMC on my Sette Reken SingleSpeed.

I love white so much that I even ordered some white Sette Duo bars from Pricepoint.com.

I’ll post that up as soon as I get some pictures. Heck I just installed the bars last night, so tonight will be its maiden voyage with my new bars, and the second ride with my new chain.

More Evomo Bad-A$$ne$$!

Posted by RL Policar On April - 24 - 2008

The Evomo crew are basically the bad boys of mountain biking. Rock Racing may hold the bad boy image for road racing, but for mountain biking, no one captures it like Evomo. So what makes Evomo so B/A? Well it starts off with some pretty sweet product and a couple swigs of JD. You may have seen the interview already that showcased their new 08 product line, but I wanted to feature a few more products that was really cool and you should definitely get.

This is the 3D shirt…yup 3D! You also get a pair of 3D glasses when you buy it. Being the team player that I am, I donned the 3D eyewear to see if this shirt lives up to its purpose…

Here’s a shot of me tripping out on this shirt! It really does pop out at you.

Here’s another 3Dish product, its their new hats. Bryan Thombs, Mastermind of Evomo actually gave us some for the show.

Now I don’t know if this is available to anyone other than cool people and team members, but this jersey is super cool. Here’s Bryan showing it off.

Oh did you see this…oh hey, who’s logo is that? Oh whut? No way! It’s the MtnBikeRiders.com logo! Now that’s B/A!

Moe has one and I know its one of his favorite jerseys!

So if you’re curious about any of the products you’ve seen, feel free to hit up Evomo.com and order stuff. Don’t worry we don’t get commission or anything like that. We just like Evomo and their products.

Hate the rubber smell of tires?

Posted by RL Policar On April - 24 - 2008

If you do, you and Kenda Tires have something in common. While at Sea Otter, we heard about how Kenda didn’t like the rubbery smell of their tires. So what’s their solution for that problem? They made the tires to have a nice soapy, clean scent!

Ya, I’m dead serious! These tires smelled good, almost like a bar of soap! I’m not sure if this process will ever make it into production, but heck, it got my attention!
