I’ve been testing the XCT 555 for a few months with an intention of using this bike for EVERY type of riding that I do. Originally I asked KHS Bicycles for a frame, but when the big cheeses told me they had a complete bike, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ride it. Before…

Once I built up the Sette Venom, I wanted to get some new tires on it and I have to tell you I am VERY pleased with how well they work for me. For the front tire, I went with a Kenda Nevegal 2.5 that Moe gave me since he won it at a raffle.…
Over the past few months we’ve been lucky enough to test the Soul Cycles Dillinger 29er hardtail.

While I don’t have the technology or strength to test these claims myself, I did test them out…
Serfas (of eyewear fame) has jumped into the saddle market and in a big way, with 67 saddles, 24 of which comprise the performance category. Serfas did not jump into the saddle market half-heartedly. They did their homework first and every saddle is a well thought out product, taking advantage of several Serfas developed technologies.…

They have a patent pending bushing design that self-adjusts which eliminates unwanted side-play. KEY FEATURES: • Proprietary self adjusting bearing, never needs adjusting and eliminates side play present in other seat post designs. This design eliminates…
Here she is, a few tweaks here and there, soon she will be ready for racing. Some of the tweaks had to happen for me to be willing to enter this rig in a race. The V-brakes did not play nicely when jamming down some regular single tracks that I know like the back…
