That’s right, it’s supper time folks. Tonight on the menu are a pair of fresh Velo grips. This is a simple little recipe I learned for installing regular grips(not lock-on).

Today I received the Yess Pro Full Suspension Tensioner. One I got the chance, I slapped on the hardware and tried to see how it works. Here’s what I got… The tensioner can work with a hard tail, the only difference that is has for the FS…in my opinion, is the roller that you install…

Today I was able to set up the Full Suspension Single Speed Woodstock 707 with a SS chain ring, spacers, and a 17t cog in the rear. As far as the chain tensioner, I’m still waiting on the Yess FS/SS gadget, but since I wanted to start riding, I purchased an inexpensive chain tensioner to…
