Yes, it is made by a company called twenty6 but it is going on a 29er. The thing is, when you’ve got something that looks this cool it can go ANYWHERE on my bike. I’m not sure why the pair that they sent consisted of a blue and a red lever but they do look…

It takes only one bad experience to sour someone on a bike shop. One of the bike shops that I have been frequenting over the last few years has recently turned over its entire staff. All of the old guys that I used to do business with and were comfortable with were replaced by new…
Yesterday I completed my first 8k! I’ve been cross training to hopefully improve my endurance out on the trails. And I am excited to say that I was able to finish despite the nasty rainy conditions and cold that almost sent me back home! Wet and Cold! Even RL rode alongside me on his bike…
A while back I went through my first impressions of these shorts. I’ve had a couple of months on the saddle with them since, so here’s the skinny. Tester: I’m 5’10”, 150 pounds.

JJ rocking the downhill doubletrack I decided to get in a longer ride this weekend so a few of us went out to ride Marshall Canyon. Marshall Canyon is located in the foothills about 30 minutes north of where I live. It is a beautiful out and back that is basically a climb to the…

My riding buddy and I were supposed to meet at 6am to go mountain biking this morning. I dragged my carcass out of bed and made it to our proposed meeting spot at the designated time but my buddy didn’t show. Normally this would suck big time but today it didn’t bother me at all.…
