While I worked at a LBS, there were tons of talk that one could essentially use shifter housing for their mechanical disc brakes to make it feel more like hydraulic brakes.

Some of us out there either 1) don’t want to pay $100 for a pair of sunglasses or 2) have disfigured faces. Lucky me, I fit both of those categories! Well, actually the bridge of my nose protrudes a lot more than a normal person’s(that or my eyes are sunken into my skull) so mainstream…

I thought that my moustache would get me more action with the Mrs, improve my riding skills and help me get more organized. First of all, the stache didn’t do much for Priscilla.…
Was finally able to locate a bar for the Reaper Stem. I found out the hard way you have to put the front 2/3 together first, then install that on the back clamp. If you don’t you won’t have any room to tighten these bolts. Guess directions are there for a reason. Putting on the…
