A few years back we had learned about this Carbon Wally World bike being sold for $325. Here’s the specs: This all terrain bicycle is designed for the enthusiast who likes to take to the trails with a lightweight performance bike. Carbon fiber offers a lightweight but extremely durable platform to create the heart of…

If it does, wash those suckers! There’s no point in having stinky hands. Throw them in the washer next time you do laundry. Here’s another little tip you can try that I do all the time. Take a shower with your gloves or any other biking items. Priscilla will often find me in the shower…

Yesterday I posted the message above on The Hoff’s FB Page. If you didn’t know, I LOVE the Hoff in Knight Rider and even as an adult, I sometimes pretend that my car can do Turbo Boost when I push the button for my dome light. Anyhow, I consider myself a HOFF Fan just because…

Last night I got a text from El Guapo (David Sanderson) saying that he wanted to pass along the KHS Lucky 7 that he reviewed to me so I can use it this weekend at the Shimano Winter Series Finals. Vince Calvillo, Special Ops Manager for KHS Bicycles was kind enough to let us use…

Nothing specific about this post, but there were a few things I wanted to share. Bad landing from a jump. Hurt my nads that day, just look at the facial expression.

We had planned on getting this bike completed at an earlier date, but due to injuries, and chain guide issues, it was pushed back. However, last night Moe got this thing dialed…

Well just like a bad husband, I forgot our special day, our anniversary. It was 3 year ago in January 2007 that Moe and I launched MtnBikeRiders.com. Over the years we’ve expanded our staff by adding folks like Jeremy Yang and Joe Solancho. RL, Jeremy, Gary Fisher and Moe RL, Joe, RC of Mountain Bike…

Dr. Thunda recently bought a new Sette Ace. He had seen me ride it through some of the local trails and based on my review and my suggestion, he bought one. Here he is with his new bike. Congrats to Dr. Thunda, getting a new bike is certainly a great experience!

Just received this bad boy the other day for testing from KUAT Innovations. Specs: Here’s some photos on how it looks on the Limo. The NV came with additional adapters to allow 700c wheels. But what you see can also handle 29er wheels. Plus it ratchets so you can make sure your bike is snug…
