This past weekend, my friend Full Squish Randall & I went out and rode some bikes at the Trek Demo in Fullerton. First off, I got to give props to Matt Gfell of Jax Fullerton. Matt got us started on a couple of matching Gary Fisher Superflys. Full Squish Randall & I were like twin…

Just got an email from our friend Matt G of Jax Fullerton about Trek’s Demo Day: Many of you may already know this but Jax is having a Demo day march 7th (this Saturady) at the Fullerton loop from 8am-2pm. the 09′ Trek and Fisher mountain bikes as well as road bike will availible. I…

Goodie but oldie, should I get it used or brand new? As I gather parts for my frame build up I continually have to address the question: should I buy used or should I buy new? Unless you have an unlimited budget I’m sure you’ve probably asked yourself the same question. Much of this answer…

An email… innocent enough, sent me on a chase. The email: 2008 XTR Brakes, and a link. Tim Scissors knew I was building up a frame and needed parts so when he saw the XTR brakes he immediately emailed it to me. When I got the email I went directly to the website. I read…

” I’ve been riding and racing with the Serfas Krest 9r tires since November. I initially installed these tires on my KHS Solo One 29er for training purposes. Well, I was really impressed with the tires that I decided to install the front tire on my KHS Flagstaff 29er and race SuperD with it. Why…

As many of you know, we recently added the Sette Razzo frame to our lineup of bikes here at mtnbikeriders.com WCH. The Sette Razzo was built up as a SS. I have to admit, I was, and still am, very tentative about riding a single speed. I probably got that way due to all the…

Not many people know this but along with selling bike frames, which we have extensively tested (Reken) or are testing (Razzo), Sette also sells fully built up bikes. Many times fully built bikes are a good deal because of the manufacturer’s buying power. When a big manufacturer can buy 1,000 Mavic wheelsets, the vendor is…

OK, no it doesn’t, but mine is. My Sette Razzo build is more of a parts bin build than Joe’s White Zion, but I’m not jealous since mine is a 29er! 😉 The Sette Razzo came to us just under two weeks ago from pricepoint and after finding some parts and picking up a tensioner…

Tim Scissors & I were able to get out for 2 laps at Whiting Ranch this past Saturday. It was a birthday ride but the birthday boy was a little shy so no pictures of the group. Tim Scissors salutes the beautiful ride, great weather and fun trail We’ve written about Whiting Ranch a couple…

I arrived at Southridge with trailer in tow, Eric, David, Tony and Kim were already there. We formed a little caravan circle with our cars to block some of those fierce Santa Ana winds that plagued us the entire weekend. Registration lines were really long, we waited for about 40 minutes to get our numbers,…
