As I mentioned a few days ago, I had graduated from an 18t to a 17t cog on my single speed. Last night’s training ride with the MtnBikeRiders.com Race Team was my first chance to ride with it. One thing I noticed right away was the speed I picked up on the flats. I wasn’t…

At Interbike we met with YESS. Other than the unit RL featured last month, the ETR-B, they also provided us with their new ETR-D tensioner for full suspension bikes. ETR-D, outside view February of this year I converted my Intense Tracer into a full suspension single speed bike. A Key part of my conversion was…
This weekend I’m really proud of myself. I did good! Yessum, I’ve become a big boy! See this…that’s a 17T cog for my single speed. That’s right folks, I’ve gone from an 18t to a 17t! Now you may be wondering what the significance is of one tooth and why I’m so proud. Well basically…
Since I started riding my rigid single speed, I’ve become more attached to the harshness of it than riding a comfy full suspension mountain bike. Don’t get me wrong, a nice squishy bike is sweet, especially during technical rides, but for this fella, I’ll be sticking with my rigid for most of my XC rides.…
A few days ago I was watching some “REAL” wrestling and noticed that MtnBikeRiders.com Single Speed Racer, Eric “The Animal” Hunner has a strong resemblance (IMHO) to WWE Wrestler John Cena…here scheck it out. Heck they even have similar style shirts…

After reading Eric Hunner’s article about single speeding, he and I had a conversation about rigid single speeding. I had many questions to ask him about how it feels, which fork to get and anything else I could think of at the time. So after looking around for an affordable fork, I decided to go…
We asked Eric Hunner, a single speed rider to provide us a guest article that helps geared riders understand why so many people are doing it. Just in case you wanted to know, Eric is a pretty legit rider, here’s a BIO on him: Eric Hunner age 30, 245 pounds, 225 fighting weight, married, one…
Black and White on my bike that is…I simply love the color combination. Recently we mentioned Pricepoint.com has some white lock on grips for about $10. Jeremy and I ordered a set for our bikes and I finally was able to install it on my Sette Reken Single Speed. Like my Cow Horn? I figured…
Well its been a few months since I first received the Sette Reken from PricePoint.com. I’d like to thank Magally Gomez and Brian Cleveland for sending us this frame to test and review. So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Sette Reken Frame Price: $99.00, not bad if you ask me! Specs: Model Reken…
