Although my company does not give us the day off for Presidents Day, I decided to take a day off to spend sometime with my family. I was also able to squeeze in an early morning ride at the loop with Khoa. No golf for me… Anyhow, as we rode by the Fullerton Golf Course,…

Loyal reader Joe “Hard Charger” recently contacted me about his newest Full Suspension Single Speed Project. He told me that he used the Yess Pro tensioner like the one I used for my FS/SS. Here’s the finished results: Intense Tracer Yess Pro Tensioner Man this thing looks sharp…

This past week the post man delivered the Zuma Rudy Project Helmet to my front door. This is one SWEET helmet. Lucky for me, Moe’s noggin’ is a little large for this helmet, so I get to review this one. ;D This past Saturday I made my first run with this helmet out at Turnbull…

Last night was the world premiere of Knight Rider…man it was bad ass! Anyhow, I couldn’t help talk about how much I loved shows like The A-Team, CHiP’s, Hardcastle and McCormick, Duke’s of Hazard, and the like. Well that got me remembering about all the different 80’s bicycle related commercials that I would see while…

RL, Priscilla, Moe and myself hooked up this Saturday to explore some new trails out at Turnbull Canyon. It’s started out pretty chilly but warmed up about 30 minutes into the ride.

Last Saturday was the first time I took out the newly built Sette Reken out for a ride. We rode on a trail called Turnbull Canyon in Whittier, Ca. This is a super fun trail, not as friendly to single speed bikes, but still wicked fun! The ride starts off with a 2 mile climb…

The folks at Dirty Dog MTB kindly sent us a Red Reaper Stem after seeing the KHS DJ300 build. If you saw it at Interbike last year you’ll recognize it quickly. Let’s be serious, how many stems like this are there?Answer? Zero. The first thing I noticed was the weight of the skull…err stem. This…

If you were to walk into my garage you will see dozens and dozens of bicycle tires. I’m rather picky about my tires and I am always trying out new tread patterns, designs, rubber compound and etc. Though that may sound impressive…I really don’t know too much about tires. But I know enough to determine…
