Last Saturday was the first time I took out the newly built Sette Reken out for a ride. We rode on a trail called Turnbull Canyon in Whittier, Ca. This is a super fun trail, not as friendly to single speed bikes, but still wicked fun! The ride starts off with a 2 mile climb…

If you were to walk into my garage you will see dozens and dozens of bicycle tires. I’m rather picky about my tires and I am always trying out new tread patterns, designs, rubber compound and etc. Though that may sound impressive…I really don’t know too much about tires. But I know enough to determine…

Our household has a lot of variety in our garage because RL LOVES to build up bikes…and our collection is growing.…
Repeat after me, “Speed is your friend. Speed is your friend.” 7 out of 11 in my category. 2 laps, 6 miles/lap = 12 miles with a time of 1:14 minutes. The winner of the sport class, our friend Ryan, won his class with 3 laps in 1:05. Ouch! That dude is a machine. This…
I like to think I’m an open-minded person. When new things come my way I’m open to at least giving them a try. That said, I’ll admit that my expectations were extremely low for these tires. Forgive my hypocrisy but when I got a reflective tire with blue urban camo coloring I just didn’t expect…
This has to be everyone’s least favorite subject when it comes to mountain biking but probably the most important. How else are you going to get to that sweet singletrack decent at the top of your trail? That is unless you cheater….errr shuttler. I kid, I kid. Having ridden local trails and participated in a…
One of the biggest buzz going on at Sea Otter was the debut of the Trek 69er. I decided to test ride it at Jax Bicycles in Fullerton, Ca. to see what the hoopla is all about. Did you notice the price tag? $2199.00 Yikes! It has a sweet Maverick fork…and I love that color.…
