This weekend I decided to add some flair to Priscilla’s race machine, the KHS XC Team. First thing I did was drink two Heinekens. I made sure I didn’t bend the caps since it will be the subject of this article. Then I took the boot/caps off her brake bosses on her Spinner Fork. I…
Last Saturday, Priscilla and I met up with Eric “The Animal” Hunner at one of our favorite trails. Eric is quite the regular at that venue and we had asked him to show us some new stuff that we’ve never done before. Sho-nuff, the fella doesn’t disappoint. For the first part of our trek, Eric…
Just ask Steve Peat and Nathan Rennie… they’ll tell ya! But seriously, I have to give props to RL Policar for all of his hard work these past two races. As a Team Captain/Mgr role he has been more than supportive for the entire Team. He’s provided everything for us from a tent (shelter from rain),…
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…
We’ll be coming out with a new dry fit logo shirt. Here’s an example on how the logo will look like. I’ll have the actual jerseys ready in 2 weeks. The cost will be $35 that includes shipping except to Alaska, Hawaii or Int’l.
From “THE ANIMAL” Eric Hunner… Race day I was up really early as usual checking the weather, light rain. Rain was a good thing, we rode MT. SAC the day before and it was dry and dusty, transitioning into cracked dirt and rock hard singletrack. Mix the two together with a little rain and we…
We recieved the Selle Success RTM saddle recently. The RTM is a sweet looking red saddle with titanium rails and a carbon fiber under. It weighs in at a pretty competitive 206 grams. Selle Success RTM Red Saddles are a very subjective piece of equipment. My background in saddles are all WTB. I started off…
To say that I was anxious about this race is an understatement. This past month since the Bonelli race has been spent trying to get over soar throats and runny noses. I have been sick for four weeks now which has left me with very little riding time and training. Lucky for me I paid…
My day started at 5am. Excited and couldn’t quite sleep, I tossed and turned in bed. Around this time I received a text message from RL. Apparently he couldn’t sleep either and was surprised when I returned his text message. I started getting ready, getting my things together. Approximately an hour and a half later,…
I believe it has been 4 years since I raced Mt Sac. I still remember that race, RL, Michael Kellogg and myself got our asses handed to us by the course. Being recreational Mountain Bikers, we didn’t know what we were getting into. This year, I decided to give racing another try. Last month’s race…
