Month: January 2013

In response to the DRINKING ARTICLE, I’ve heard that chocolate milk is a fantastic post ride recovery drink. It also makes it cheaper than Muscle Milk or any type of Protein Shake you can buy. I figured I’d get on the bandwagon and give it a try. But when I did…PRRRRRT! Yup you guessed it,…

I’ve heard it said, “You are what you eat.” I call B.S. I have been eating fast food for years and I have yet to get any faster. After brewing my daily pot of coffee this morning I have come to the realization You Are What You Drink. I like my coffee black, mornings, afternoon,…

We’re happy to announce our team roster for 2013. There’s been a few changes, but the biggest news is that our very own Lady P is back on the XC scene! Lady P will be competing as a Sport Level XC racer. The rest of the team will consist of the following riders: Corey Pond,…

For as long as Craigstlist has been around, I’ve been buying and selling things through it. At times I think it’s better than Ebay because you don’t have to ship anything and to use the site,it’s free! But with that comes some idiots that I’ve dealt with in the past. Just the other day I…

For the most part I can work on pretty much every part of a bike. From shocks, forks, derailleurs and even disc brakes. But when the KHS XCT 556 needed a brake pad replacement, I tried to bleed the brakes myself and found that I had a short attention span because I must have missed…

The other day I was hanging out with Animal. I told him how I inherited a great professional grade Park Truing Stand. I was telling him that because of this tool, I’ve learned how to properly true and etc. Animal looks at me, chuckles and told me to look at the two zip ties in…

During Interbike 2012, we had a meeting with Airborne Bikes Brand Manager, Jeremy Mudd about all the great things that are being planned for 2013. One of the things he mentioned was the new Goblin and he had gladly offered us a bike to test out. Fast forward to the Fall, we received this… The…

The title was in reference to Burt ReynoldSS again…yep. It’s back because last night during our ride, I dropped the chain 7 times! The zip tie method does work…up to a certain point. The problem I had was there was still a bit of play on my chain line and every time I hit a…

If you’ve been following my updates about Burt ReynoldSS, then you’ll know that I’ve replaced the stock chain to a nice red one, but I still ended up with chain skipping issues. I’ve tried two different types of tensioners and they both sucked. So I figured I’d ask my beloved friend Jack “Ghost Rider” Sweeney,…
