Remember the “How To” I did a few days ago where I removed my daughter’s training wheels and cranks? Well we’ve been practicing for a couple of days and I am very proud to say that my 5 year old Aleah is riding on her own! The whole point of this DIY was to teach…

Ok I have to fess up. I was very hesitant to try any kind of sports supplementation. As some of you know I am a vegetarian and most of the time I am very careful about what I put into my body. Yes, I am one of those people that fasts for long periods of…
Here’s another Helmet Cam Productions video from our morning ride through the Fullerton Loop. Please excuse the vulgar language in the song. I like the beat, but some of the words aren’t so nice.
Yesterday I was doing some jumps on my lawn with the K2 Lithium and on my last jump I tried to do a little flair kick thingy and landed it the wrong way…sideways. First I thought I just tweaked the rim, but later I found out I broke a spoke. So I took it to…
We’ve been testing the Woodstock 707 for a few weeks now. I wanted to give everyone an update on how the bike is doing. The Woodstock 707 is packing heat with the SRAM X-7 shifters and rear derailleur. I’m really enjoying the taste and feel of these shifters and have found them to be very…

I made the argument that different bike manufacturers are equivalent to different auto manufacturers. And just as there are different automobile manufacturers, there will be different bike makers because consumers don’t always want products from the mega manufacturers.…

Materials used were: nylon cloth (cammo pattern and black), Green tarp like material, ¼â€Â? felt, 1â€Â? nylon tape, 1â€Â? quick release snaps. Measure everything out and cut the materials as needed. I used…

It’s being reported on mtbr.com forums that Travis Brown (Trek-Volkswagon team) was riding a full suspension Trek 29er. Can we say Trek Fuel 29er? He was also toting around a Trek hardtail 29er. Sorry, no pictures to post as Travis’s bike was a bit camera shy.
