Well it’s been well over a year since I received the Titus Rockstar 29er Alloy and about the same for LadyP’s Carbon Titus Rockstar 29er. Both bikes have performed flawlessly. No issues with the frames at all. The only thing that’s really gone wrong with these bikes is that we’re starting to wear them out.…

You may have noticed that things look different on Mtnbikeriders.com. Well that’s because we’re going through a bit of a redesign. It’s been well over 4 years since we’ve updated the site and we figured it’s about time. But before we can finalize everything, we still need to tweak all sorts of bells and whistles…

Did you know that we started MtnBikeRiders.com 8 years ago! Yep! We sure did and I have to be honest with you, we’ve had our better years and as each year passes, it’s become a bit harder to maintain this website. Not that it’s hard to manage it, but it’s because life changes. For starters,…

The last month or so we’ve been working with a lab to help us develop our newest product…Energy Bears! That’s right, ENERGY BEARS(tm). These Energy Bears were the brain-child of RL Policar (that’s Me! and The Moe). We wanted to develop a new energy chew that we are all familiar with. Jelly Belly came out…

So are you wondering what this thing does? Well it’s simple, it helps you remove stripped allen heads with ease. I’ve actually featured this tool before. But recently I used it on my motorcycle. I needed to remove a engine guard, but the allen heads were stripped on the screw. This was the screw that…

Not too long ago this happened… The axle broke on my rear wheel. This wheel set came off LadyP’s Airborne Hobgoblin. But I’ve since sold the frame. However, I kept all the other parts to the bike. So when this happened I wasn’t quite sure where to go to find a replacement part. I didn’t…
