RL Policar-The Shimano Winter Series are 6 races that occurs every other week until March. So that means things happen very quickly and we never really get that much time to train, eat, write, sleep and poop. Which brings me to this next race report written by David “Sho-Nuff” Sanderson. Though David’s race was last…

Many of you may have noticed that Eric “The Animal” Hunner has some might big GUNS! So wanting to have guns that can make Priscilla swoon at the sight of them, I asked Eric what he does for his workouts. Basically he said, he is his wife’s slave…He’s Tim the Tool Man Taylor when he’s…
That’s my new motto for 2009 as I ride my Rigid Single Speed. Finishing touches on my rigid singlespeed were done over the holidays. Last component needed on this project were the disc brakes. I found a killer deal on Avid Juicy 5s right before Christmas. Top it off it was free shipping and arrived…
For those that have been fortunate enough to meet single speed phenom, Eric “The Animal” Hunner, they will tell you that Eric is one gigantor of a man. He literally out weighs his competition anywhere from 50-100lbs. To give you an idea on how big he is, check out the following photos. Look at the…
This week I worked on right-sizing the steerer tube on my carbon fork and the width of my handlebars. On my last update (#1) I wasn’t quite sure which handlebar/stem to use. I’ve decided to give the KORE Torsion Bar and B52 stem a try. Stock length of the Torsion Bar was at 800mm, so…
It’s been some time since I’ve wanted a bike REALLY bad. Being part of the world of Media for Mountain Biking we’re exposed to so many different and wonderful bikes with all the bells and whistles. Heck some of them costs more than the value of my car…yah..sad isn’t it. But as the title says,…
Hey folks, this is an update on my rigid singlespeed project. I started this in beginning of November. Since then, I’ve received a significant piece for the build. From SASO, is a rigid Carbon fork. The fork has carbon fiber legs/stanchions as well as a carbon steerer tube. The unit weighs in at 1.64 lbs –…
I’ve used Serfas saddlebags and racks in the past, but I didn’t know that they also sell tires. The good folks from Serfas sent us a pair of their Krest 9r MTB tires for me to test on my KHS Solo One 29er. My Solo One comes with Kenda Nevegals, a tire that really performs…
For my birthday last month, my fiancé bought me a Zion 660 EBB (eccentric bottom bracket) frame from Jenson USA. At first, I wasn’t quite sure which route I wanted to build the bike – either Rigid SS, SS w/suspension or a 1×9. Unsure for awhile, I even thought about returning the frame and save…
As I mentioned a few days ago, I had graduated from an 18t to a 17t cog on my single speed. Last night’s training ride with the MtnBikeRiders.com Race Team was my first chance to ride with it. One thing I noticed right away was the speed I picked up on the flats. I wasn’t…
