OK, so you may say that we are a bunch of KHS fanboys, but the truth is that KHS bicycles does make bicycles that have been ridden to championships: Melissa Buhl, 4X National Champion Kyle Bennett, UCI BMX World Champion ‘Lico’ Mendez, 2007 La Ruta winner Check out KHS’ 2008 Bike Line up by clicking…
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…
MtnBikeRiders.com has been known for its many bike builds and projects. The newest one to hit the work stand is my very own project. You all may remember my Woodstock 707 frame that I stripped down to the bare metal. I was going to polish this thing until it was a mirror finish…but I didn’t…
My last ride of the year was at Santiago Oaks: Chutes + 3 B’s on the Redline Mono 9. Last week we installed a chainring I had on the Mono 9 so I could ride again. Of course the day after we did the install the chainring + bolts arrived from Redline. I’ll be picking…

It looks like this is meant to be a cheap but effective version of the higher priced Gravity Dropper seatpost that’s retailing for around $239. Youch. Msrp on this puppy is listed…
New Year’s Day I found myself on a tough ride that started with a 6 mile climb. The wind was blowing hard all morning so my buddy and I were tuckered out when we got back to the trailhead. Luckily, I brought along a nice brew to end the year and start the new one off right. Tire…
Since we had a day off to celebrate 2008, we decided to organize a group ride with some of our best riding buddies. Scott and Jen Finch of RPM Cyclery, along with their two sons, Alex and Evan drove all the way out from Temecula, Ca to hit the Fullerton Loop. We were also graced…
