    Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

    My Avid Juicy 7’s had an upgrade earlier this week. New pink brake levers from Danger Boy and Speed Goat! Check out my review of the product over at TheBikeLab.com.
    The installation of the levers were so easy I wanted to put it down in writing so folks would be even more tempted […]

    Regression - Pedals

    Monday, January 14th, 2008

    The more I look around on the trails blogs it seems that there is a hidden species of styling platform riders. Take Kent and Dave for example. Super endurance riders that find their favorite shoes that do NOT clip in are their preference for long distance riding.
    It seems that forms of cycling like […]

    1×1 Swap Out : More Riding

    Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

    It has been a few months since the last time I put up a ride review on my 1×1 setup. I’ve made a couple changes to the bike and have been riding it about once a week as the training schedule allows. (Pushing a hard gear on a rigid single speed isn’t very […]

    Regression : A Sampler

    Monday, December 31st, 2007

    As my series on regression and technology will continue this week I want to quickly shoot some links your way to hopefully inspire and inform.

    Jesse Lalonde won Chequamegon on a full rigid 29er single speed. Pushing it against a very elite class - he won with out the gears or suspension. In the […]

    Holidays Weighing Down on You?

    Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

    My goal for the holiday season was to lose weight.
    I’m one of those people that love everything that Thanksgiving has to offer. Stuffing, mash potatoes and anything smothered with gravy. The holidays also throw me head first into a short spell of depression.  Not enough to worry about but enough […]
