A few years ago we did a video showing how we converted standard tires and rims to tubeless, or some might call it “Ghetto Tubeless.” Since then I’ve converted a number of my bicycles to this tire system. One of them was my downhill bike, the Airborne Taka. I had raced 2011 and part of…

For the last 10 years I’ve purchased my bicycles, parts and accessories from a few different sources. Some have been through brick and mortar bicycle shops, some times it’s been online and a few other times it was through a swap meet or Craigslist. I do have to admit that I’ve only personally purchased a…
Yes you’ve read it correctly, we’re doing an open casting call for new writers on MtnBikeRiders.com. As you may have noticed our content has been stagnant lately. That’s partly due to the fact I’ve been learning how to do Karate stuff. Check out my class. Anyhow, let me digress to the subject at hand. So…
We’re taking a page out of Montell Jordan’s song for this article, hit play as you read the rest of the stuff. Now that the song is playing, we’ll use it as a sound track. On Father’s Day, Art Aguilar and I met up for some product testing and photos. You see, Art is testing…
Art is planning on writing a full article on this subject, but I wanted to give some teaser shots of a recent project he did with his GoPro. I didn’t want to spoil Art’s article. So I’ll leave you with a final photo.
So RL and I were talking the other day when he tells me a little story. He tells of how he was just riding along with the lovely Lady P when they see a fellow mountainbiker suddenly eject himself from his bike. This poor soul decided to do a little helmet testing right there on…
Check it out kids, here’s the most recent addition to Burt Reynolds. I picked up this neat little upgrade from the most recent Fullerton Loop Swap Meet from non-other, Adam “Albacore” Spik. He hooked me up with a killer deal that would be equivalent to 5 large Pho bowls or a dinner for two at…
About 10 days ago I took a spill while taking a flat turn at Whiting Ranch. This little crash resulted in a road rash on my forearm, knee and finger. I started off with bandages to treat them, but found that those things were sticking to my wounds. So I went to the local CVS…
As I’ve mentioned before I moonlight over at BikeCommuters.com as one of their Editors and Staff Writers. One of the pieces I just published over there was about my adventures with Craigslist. Through the years I’ve slowly weened myself off Ebay as a seller. I’ve gotten tired of the shipping and fees involved. So after…
If you’re familiar with our other website, BikeCommuters.com, then you’ll be familiar with some of the community service projects that I’ve been doing. Back in the Fall of 2012 I got some help from Planet Bike, they donated a huge box of bicycle lights, bells, and locks for me to give away to some of…
