Today I received the Yess Pro Full Suspension Tensioner. One I got the chance, I slapped on the hardware and tried to see how it works. Here’s what I got… The tensioner can work with a hard tail, the only difference that is has for the FS…in my opinion, is the roller that you install…

Today I was able to set up the Full Suspension Single Speed Woodstock 707 with a SS chain ring, spacers, and a 17t cog in the rear. As far as the chain tensioner, I’m still waiting on the Yess FS/SS gadget, but since I wanted to start riding, I purchased an inexpensive chain tensioner to…
MtnBikeRiders.com has been known for its many bike builds and projects. The newest one to hit the work stand is my very own project. You all may remember my Woodstock 707 frame that I stripped down to the bare metal. I was going to polish this thing until it was a mirror finish…but I didn’t…
Nirve Bicycles recently introduced a new bike in their line up called the Night Owl. It’s basically a beach cruiser frame with a BMX handle bars and some knobby tires…kinda reminds me of the Klunkerz bikes that mountain biking was bred from. I think the Night Owl would be a good contender to go against…

I found a killer deal on Avid Juicy 5s right before Christmas. Top it off it was free shipping and arrived…

A while back I was talking to Tim “Ciseaux” about singlespeed cranksets. He told me about a custom builder who modifys the XTR 960 triple crank, into a clean looking single setup. After looking at some pictures, I thought this would be a cool project for my single. The XTR 960 cranks are strong, and…
I came across this description of SS riding in the last few weeks. Single speed riding is riding with one gear and four speeds: standing, sitting, walking, and puking. Luckily enough for me, I only had to use the first three at this race. The third installment of the Southridge Winter Series took place this…
