Sometimes it’s OK to ask for help
For the most part I can work on pretty much every part of a bike. From shocks, forks, derailleurs and even disc brakes. But when the KHS XCT 556 needed a brake pad replacement, I tried to bleed the brakes myself and found that I had a short attention…
Change things up a bit
So the other day The Moe and I went out for our lunch time ride. Rather than taking my 29er, I brought out the Footbike. To some this may look like a scooter, perhaps mechanically it is, but I have to say this thing is a butt kicker. I’ve never had…

There on the trail…I found him.
Today marked the first day of the year where The Moe and I rode together. What better way to tell this story than with pictures! We all know if there’s no pictures or if it’s not on Facebook, it didn’t happen! So here we go! The Moe…
