A few days ago, Moe and I decided to go on a night ride. Moe was riding the Wonderful Woodstock 707 and I was riding the Ibex B-Series. Moe has been testing out the PrincetonTec Switchback lights that we received a few weeks ago. The last posting he did with them shows the light mounted…

Not too long ago, I decided to swap out the Rock Shox Tora fork that came stock on the Fezzari Alta Peak. I replaced it with a Marzocchi MX Pro with ETA. Here’s the specs on the new fork: TARGET WEIGHT (without steer tube) Travel 105mm: 1795 g. Travel 120mm: 1825 g. DAMPING SYSTEM Dual…

This morning I got a chance to throw a leg over the K2 Lithium 4.0 and the Spinner Cargo fork RL is testing. My first thought is that it looks like a pretty beefy fork from up top. The crown is bigger than the Reba & Marzocchi bomber fork I’m used to looking at, but…
The chatter coming out of mtbr.com forums confirms that Rock Shox is coming out with a different offset for the Reba fork. Not to get too technical, but the current offset is at 38mm while the suspected new offset will be 47mm. Increasing offset by nearly 10mm means quicker handling through the tight stuff. More…

Jeremy & El Moro Map This past Saturday my buddy Ivan & I went to ride some trails in El Moro. Due to time constraints and our being unfamiliar with El Moro, we spent some time discussing exactly which ride to do and ended up choosing El Moro Redtail Ridge – Rattlesnake. We used geoladders.com…
One of my favorite things to do is build up bikes from the frame up. So after we did the Ibex B-Series Build up, Moe and I got to thinking…”We need to build the best bike there is!” So we came up with the name, “The Ultimate ALL-Mountain Bike Build Up.” We figured we’d get…
To follow along with Jeremy’s Helmet Question. I figured I’d throw this out there. Now I rarely see a person not wearing a shirt while mountain biking, but it happens especially during the summer months. I guess if I have a figure like Biker Fox over here (pic above), then yeah, I’d ride without a…
