Unfortunately we’re not talking about balancing on your bike, you should already be good at that by now. But the balancing I’m talking about in this article has to do with 2 of the most important things in your life, family and riding. We all know that making those two work together is essential to…
Just today I went over the the USA HQ of KHS Bicycles. I had contacted one of our good friends, Vince Calvillo regarding an issue that I had with Priscilla’s KHS XC 604. I noticed a bit of play in the rear triangle and asked if Vince could take a look at it. Fortunately I…
