Vassago Bandersnatch 29er Update


Received a couple of new parts for the Bandersnatch. Since I fall right in the lower end of the fitment recommendations for the frame, I’d been nervous about the length. After getting a saddle(thanks Moe) and some of the other parts together I was able to at least sit down on it and realized it’s not [...]

Full Suspension Single Speed Update


Pricepoint.com stepped up and sent me the Sette Single Speed Conversion Kit. I received it Friday and I was riding on it on Saturday and Sunday.

I’m happy to report after riding with the Sette Single Speed kit, I didn’t experience skipping or any type of issues with the drive train. I used the 18t cog [...]

Jet Fighter Helmet: Finished


Picked up the helmet this weekend and was pleasantly surprised with the finished product. The entire project was done by Jeremy Grayson of AirbrushOC. I basically told him I wanted a World War II themed helmet with a pinup and a chainring somewhere on there. I grew up with this guy and it’s been amazing [...]

RL’s Pet Project: Full Suspension Single Speed Bike Part 2


Today I received the Yess Pro Full Suspension Tensioner. One I got the chance, I slapped on the hardware and tried to see how it works.

The tensioner can work with a hard tail, the only difference that is has for the FS…in my opinion, is the roller that you install onto the [...]

RL’s Pet Project: Full Suspension Single Speed Bike Part 1


Today I was able to set up the Full Suspension Single Speed Woodstock 707 with a SS chain ring, spacers, and a 17t cog in the rear. As far as the chain tensioner, I’m still waiting on the Yess FS/SS gadget, but since I wanted to start riding, I purchased an inexpensive chain tensioner to [...]

Jet Fighter Helmet: The Beginning


So I was able to trade Moe an 8 pack of Old Rasputin Imperial Stout for an extra large full face helmet. I put the thing on and felt like Darth Helmet but the plan wasn’t to wear this beast. My idea was to give the helmet to my cousin for a fully [...]

DJ300 Build Update


Due to my new-found wrenching skills I’ve taken point on the DJ300 build. This poor baby has been resting for a while so she’s ready for her makeover. Most recently I removed the temporary cranks RL had on there and I’ve installed a Raceface FR bottom bracket. On the BB will go a set of [...]
