Month: September 2011

Hi folks, we’re super excited to introduce our 2012 Team Jersey. One of the things I wanted to do different this year was to make the jersey more personal to our team racers. If you look at the design, part of the sleeves and the side of the body has images in it. Each image…

Another well written review by Cat McKinnon. If she keeps this up, I may have to offer her some sort of Internship or something. Looking for a new helmet seems to be one of those things that we cyclists both love and hate doing. We love looking for new gear, but most of us realize…

NOW THIS IS THE INTERBIKE LOVE Well before I got to Interbike the trip out was not without a little excitement. I left about 3am in the morning and was pretty amazed that there was quite a few travelers on the road, by the time I got passed Barstow I got a few patches of…

On September 24th, with the help of some good friends, I organized a lil’ guerrilla Super D Race in SoCal. We met up at a secret location where we all paid a $10 entry fee to be set aside for the winner’ pot. The way this was to work was, each rider would be released…

Icetoolz has been a long supporter of the MtnBikeRiders.com Race Team and we totally believe in their products because they are reliable, durable and gosh darnit, we really like them! So when we heard they were introducing “shop quality” tools, shoot, I just about yelled like a giddy school girl.

So here’s something I don’t get. Why do high-end brands like Mercedes and Ferrari line themselves up with cheap, crappy Wal-Mart-ish types of bikes as a branded item? Here’s what I mean. SRAM X4? Geez if its a Ferrari shouldn’t it be an X0? Here’s a single speed/fixie, but I doubt hipsters would go for…
