ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!!
To follow up on my frame shopping, I ran in to something else that really bugs me. I hate it when I walk into a shop and none of the sales people acknowledge me. I know that I previously said that I’m getting hooked up with a frame, but I still…
Clif Shot Roks-Review
I received the Clif Shot Roks to review. Here’s the “specs” (nutritional value) One of the things I really liked about the Roks is that the outer coating doesn’t melt. So that means you can go on super long epic rides with the…
Something bugging me…
One of my pet peeves in life is lack of effort. I can’t stand it when people see an opportunity or challenge and don’t even bother trying. I’ll give you a bike related scenario, I was just at 2 different bicycle shops in my immediate…
Patches? We don’t need no stinkin’ Patches!
If you’re anything like me you are super handsome and very frugal. The cost of tubes are shockingly high, some range from $6-$10! So rather than just throwing away a tube that got a flat, I decided to buy a large patch kit. Large as in 48 patches…

We’ve asked Team Racer-Jerry “Dukes of” Hazard to provide us a review on some tires that he had been using on his Airborne Taka and Maurauder. You’ll be surprised to learn on how much they cost in relation to how well they…
Here’s what I saw and did this weekend
The first thing I did was go on a ride to Aliso Woods with Lady P, Single K and Nick D. Since I was out of shape, right after climbing up Cholla, I decided to head a different direction than the rest of the group. I went through Rockit (my favorite) and…
Apparently I’m a Hoarder
I kinda, sorta knew this because when you go into my garage I’ve got about 19-23(give or take 5) bicycles and frames as well as various parts that could easily build up a new bike for a family of 6. My garage is a tandem-2 car garage. That means…
Up to 94% off? Dang, how do they stay in business?
If you haven’t heard, Pricepoint.com is having a pretty good sale. They’ve got pretty much everything on discount. They even have tubes, 5 for $11.98. That comes out to $2.40 per tube, which is just about wholesale cost for those things if…
That’s no thorn…
On my ride yesterday, I recall running over something, then hearing a click click click sound. I pull over and by the time I come to a stop, my tire is flat. Check out what I got in my tire. The hole in my tire was about the size of a pencil. Flats suck,…
How important is air pressure in your tires?
If you ask me, it’s pretty important! One of the things I’ve learned in my many years of riding and racing is knowledge of what tire pressure works best for my style and the type of terrain I’m riding, as well as for the tire itself.…
