Ok am I the only one that is kinda getting tired of all the buzz words that the bicycle industry is trying to come out with when it comes new new bikes? Just recently a famous brand just released their “short travel-enduro bike” with only 80-100mm of travel. Um, last I checked that same brand…
So I recently acquired a new On-One Ringmaster 30t to install onto the Titus Rockstar 29er Alloy. But when I installed it with my existing drive train (chain and cassette), I started experiencing some chain-skippage and as you know, this type of skippage kinda does suck. With that newfound info, I decided to text a…
REDLINE BIKES Redline has come out with a couple of new item that the BMX and Dirt Jump set will love. Let’s start with the new PL-26 that looks like an oversize BMX cruiser. The PL-26 has that old school BMX heritage put into it that Redline is known for. If you want that full…
So Friday night I’m sitting in the living room brain dead, contemplating all of life’s interesting paradoxes, enjoying a nice piece of beef jerky, while having a bowl of Tamalitos, chasing it down with a Lavern (that’s a Pepsi with milk all), trying to think of a way to get out of helping the wife…
Let’s talk about wheel sizes here for a bit. Everyone knows that 27.5 is like the latest rage in mountain biking. The argument is that this size wheel has the benefits of both 26 and 29ers…the best of both worlds. If you didn’t know, I own all three types of wheel sized bikes. I love…
Well it’s been well over a year since I received the Titus Rockstar 29er Alloy and about the same for LadyP’s Carbon Titus Rockstar 29er. Both bikes have performed flawlessly. No issues with the frames at all. The only thing that’s really gone wrong with these bikes is that we’re starting to wear them out.…
Not sure if you’ve ever experienced this but when you own something that isn’t quite the norm, it makes the item so much more special. Take for example one of my old motorcycles, an 81 Honda CM200 that I built into a Cafe Racer. It was really unique and cool because there weren’t many of…
Not too long ago this happened… The axle broke on my rear wheel. This wheel set came off LadyP’s Airborne Hobgoblin. But I’ve since sold the frame. However, I kept all the other parts to the bike. So when this happened I wasn’t quite sure where to go to find a replacement part. I didn’t…
A while back Lady P and I were riding Rockit in Aliso Woods. This is a fun rock garden that we’ve ridden before. As we entered the trail, I see a little lip off to the side and I decided to take it. Boom I launch of it, land the rear tire first and then…
As much as I love mountain biking, I realized there are some pitfalls to the sport. But I found these out AFTER the fact that I started riding. Perhaps if someone told me about them, I may have gotten into bowling or mopeds….ya I can picture…mopedriders.com…. With that in mind, don’t get into mountain biking…
