Art Aguilar and I had the pleasure in meeting with Brand Manager and ultimate cool guy, Jeremy Mudd. We talked shop about everything Airborne. But he made us pinky swear not to make some of the news public. Basically there’s some BIG changes in the line up that we’re super excited about. One of the…

Looks like this one might make it out to production. Gates Carbon Drive. Sliding dropouts for easy tensioning.
Had the pleasure of test riding this beautiful 29er made by Salsa, the Spearfish 29er. Climbs pretty good, no pedal bob. That’s only because the guys at the Salsa booth set up the Fox Float just right for my weight and even set the sag. SRAM drive train with X9 derailleur. Rockshox Reba fork. Stans…
I took delivery of the Redline D600 a few months ago to test it out. Mind you this review is at a view point of an entry-level 29er rider. The test bike I had was a medium, I’m 5’7″ and the fit on this was almost right with the exception of my short arms. With…

For the past year or so, I’ve been saving my nickels, quarters, and the occasional folding currency for a new mountain bike – specifically, a geared 29er hardtail. After a lot of waffling and agonizing, I ended up ordering a custom Niner EMD9 build through Speedgoat Cycles. I initially wanted just a couple modifications off…
The other day Lady P sends me an email and here’s a little excerpt from it, “Babe you’re so awesome and handsome! You have nice calves, and great riding skills. Due to your awesomeness, I wanted to let you know that Sizzler has a coupon offer for $20 of food for $10! “ Before I…
How ever you say “Three” in Mexican..that’s what I meant to do in the title. To follow up on Adam’s article below. I wanted to give you an update on my daughter’s bike that made me money. On Saturday Lady P, Boo and I headed out to Aliso Woods. Boo loves that place because she…
