Press Release: KORE LAUNCH XX1 COMPATIBLE FREEHUBS
Back in mid 2012 we started to hear rumors and see spy pictures of Sram’s 11 x 1 drivetrain setup! When we first saw this we thought what a great idea to simply do away with the front derailleur and achieve a very similar gear ratio set up by adding an…
Kuat Vagabond Review
So in August I turned my little commuter soda can into an 80 mph shopping cart. That’s a lot of beer fueled football games and rum soaked partying since then, so it is easy to forget the preview I posted. It is aptly named the Vagabond. I quit…
Speaking of drinking
In response to the DRINKING ARTICLE, I’ve heard that chocolate milk is a fantastic post ride recovery drink. It also makes it cheaper than Muscle Milk or any type of Protein Shake you can buy. I figured I’d get on the bandwagon and give it a…

So I made fried rice…
The title was in reference to Burt ReynoldSS again…yep. It’s back because last night during our ride, I dropped the chain 7 times! The zip tie method does work…up to a certain point. The problem I had was there was still a bit of play…
There on the trail…I found him.
Today marked the first day of the year where The Moe and I rode together. What better way to tell this story than with pictures! We all know if there’s no pictures or if it’s not on Facebook, it didn’t happen! So here we go! The Moe…
Burt ReynoldSS get’s a little upgrade
Here’s the most recent upgrade on Burt, it’s a red chain. In my previous article, I mentioned that I’d go with a gold theme. But I realized, I had plenty of red on the components that it made more sense to go with that color. My…
