This weeks Thursday Tech Tip is all about adjusting your vbrakes. Yes…its true there are still people out there that use vbrakes. In fact Priscilla’s Super Fly Motobecane has v brakes. Check out the video on MtnBikeRidersTV.com

Since Priscilla progressed to her current Motobecane, the Policars were nice enough to sell me Priscilla’s Ibex Trophy. For the past 5 years or so I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get my wife into biking and, after joining this site, I found new hope. Finally my wife came to me and…

I’ve always liked the look of carbon. There is just something about the weave that just looks cool. Add the fact that carbon is very light and strong and we can all see why carbon is a very highly sought after material for many riders. But with every material, there is always a downside and…

At the 24 hours of Fullerton, I ended up winning a pair of Adidas Adilibria Sunglasses. Though they are for chicks, I gladly gave them to Priscilla since I knew she would dig the style. I think they look great on Priscilla. Not only can she wear them during the day running errands, but she…

After 4 days off and lots of eating, I’m definitely in the group that feels the Thanksgiving bulge right above my belt-line this Monday morning. Actually, I’ve been feeling it for a couple of weeks now since I’ve been dealing with chest muscle pains. It all started at the beginning of the month when days…

Well so much for real time updates…this one is about a day late… This post is dedicated to Priscilla who is probably out by the pool during her annual girls weekend get away. After my first lap I decided that my Warp was way too heavy…around 32lbs for this 24 hour event. So I quickly…
