I’ve come to realize that the cause of the funk that my feet are accustomed to are due to my cycling socks! I own dozens of cycling socks from various manufacturers. I wear them when I ride, with dress shoes, to the office, or with my Converse. At first I figured, I’ll wear some cool…

No I’m not saying you can’t buy patch kits out there. They are still available. But what I’m saying is patch kits are no longer needed for mountain biking. For the most part, people will generally ride with an extra tube or two just in case they do get flats. Patch its are not practical…

Ok so this is the Turner Nitrous. The guys at Evomo got some of these frames as part of their sponsorship. Sweet frame… So here’s it’s look alike. This is my Woodstock 707. I know that one is 3 times more expensive than the other and yes, the Turner is a few pounds lighter than…
That’s right, it’s supper time folks. Tonight on the menu are a pair of fresh Velo grips. This is a simple little recipe I learned for installing regular grips(not lock-on). Lock-ons are nice but I like the simple and sleek regular grips for the dirt jumping bike(KHS DJ300) so I went with the flanged ones…
