2010 Kona Hei Hei 2-9 When Tim was on Kona’s Abra Cadabra, I got to spend some time riding Scott O’dell’s personal ride: the Kona Hei Hei 2-9. There were some major changes to Kona’s Hei Hei 2-9 from 2009 to 2010. Included are the tapered headtube going from the 1 1/8” to 1 1/5”,…
So my buddy Mr. Dan and I were emailing each other…yeah I know, we’re kinky like that. Anyhow, he used this word today, “Indubitably.” I wasn’t quite sure what that meant, but I had a feeling. Just to put my insecurities at rest, I looked it up. Here’s what it means: in·du·bi·ta·ble /ɪnˈdubɪtəbəl, -ˈdyu-/…

Just in time for Mother’s Day (its this weekend!). This is why I love Mr. T. He’s the best! If Mr T, isn’t your idea of cool, then try this guy… Ok, if that’s not Gangsta enough for you, then you could always try Tupac.
At my place of employment, I will encounter an individual that knows I ride. So anytime he comes in he seems to have this need to one up me. If you’re not too familiar on what the term One Up means, check out this video. Ok now that we have the definition in mind. Here’s…
Sea Otter Classic was the platform for a possible new downhill frame that KHS Bicycles is testing. Here’s a few pictures, courtesy of Mike Lord. Logan Bingelli working on the new frame. Photo during practice. I’m looking forward to seeing if this frame will make it into production.
