pure ss test ride
Finished and took it for a ride yesterday. I’ll clean, tune and pack it this weekend.

A bike fest in the Philippines
I was out of the shop but I’m back now. I was invited to a bike festival in the Philippines and I hadn’t been there before and there was going to be a lot of riding so I went. Plus it was snowing here and hot and sunny there. I had to go.
There was […]
2fat
The fat tire bike is finished and I’ve been riding. This bike is a lot of fun. The traction and cushioning from the big tires really makes new types of riding possible.
I have plans on a production version of this and I’m working towards that now. It will probably be available in steel or […]
Off dirt riding
I’ve been riding my bike on the road a little more this year than in the past. I’ve always ridden the road but never really got into traditional “road” bikes or road racing. I have always ridden the road to go some place or just explore.
The skinny tires and drop bars just didn’t allow […]

Interbike Vegas
Interbike was fun but hard work too – long days and lots of talking. It was really good to see all the bike people I only see once a year.

I think this is the bike I’ll be riding the most this summer.
I can run the fat front tire or a normal 29″ but the fat tire works so well for me that I’ll probably keep it on most of the time.
It’s under 26lbs as shown, without the bottle but with the crudcatcher and bottle cage. […]
Wide front hub
I asked Paul to make this hub after seeing a 120mm dishless hub he made. This one has 135mm spacing, very wide flange spacing and builds up a very very stiff, strong and dishless front wheel.
Here it is laced up to a Speedway Cycles 26″ fat rim.
dishless. strong. stiff.
Here it is built into a 29″ wheel. More on this […]
