It seems that some of you enjoyed our “Lighter side of Racing” post, so here’s part DOS. Has anyone seen my contact lens???? Hey Joe, how big is it??? “Yes Mr. Team Manager, I’m listening…” “Mmmm I can smell the first place podium all the way from here” It looks like someone needs to polish…

Well, this weekend was not The Moe’s weekend. The weather played a major factor on my decisions on what to wear. For SuperD, I didn’t think it was going to be cold so I raced with just my Limited Edition Team MtnBikeRiders.com jersey, boy was I freezing before my name was called! I also goofed…

A KHS Lucky 7 that is! Our good friends from KHS Bicycles have given us a Lucky 7 to review and race. The Lucky Seven happens to be the KHS Factory Team weapon of choice for the Fontana Series, they choose this bike because of the infamous “wall”. The Lucky 7 comes with a 36/24t…

” I’ve been riding and racing with the Serfas Krest 9r tires since November. I initially installed these tires on my KHS Solo One 29er for training purposes. Well, I was really impressed with the tires that I decided to install the front tire on my KHS Flagstaff 29er and race SuperD with it. Why…

We will be posting final specs and pricing soon, but let’s just…

Under the threat of rain, most of TeamMtnBikeRiders.com gathered under a couple of ez-ups and got ready to race. Saturday was my turn to be Señor Team Manager since RL was out on a retreat, that meant I had to be the photographer and race support. As usual, the XC racers gave it 110% percent…

Carbon Fiber Pronghorn Bike Here’s your chance to ‘Ride on Top’, you’ve probably seen these bikes on our site, in fact we have a big ass banner on the top. Well, all ‘will it shear my nuts’ jokes aside, the Pronghorn bike that I tested at Sea Otter has been one of the best high…

After my lovely wife cleaned my battle wounds, I quickly suited up to do my first ever Downhill practice. Joe, RL and I took the shuttle to the top and waited for our turn to ride. I was really nervous because I’d seen a few riders really eat it on the course. I didn’t start…
