I like riding them with Chris.
Just a blast riding all around Granite Basin for the last two hours. I am buzzed and probably will be up another hour. Nice and cool. Very dusty for the rear rider.
It was just what I needed after a stressful tiring two weeks with little time to bike/blog, whatever.
Chris and I talk religion a lot. He tries to convert me to Bionicon, and I try to convert him to big wheels. It is sort of like getting a fundamental baptist and Mormon missionary in the same room. Both good people but talking past each other. Of course I'm the correct one (as is the Baptist).
The flows are holding up well. The WB fork is getting stictiony with the dust around here. I changed the Curtlo set up to a flat bar (Syntace out of the pile, a little narrow, but working out okay.) I have to say that I like the handling better than with the Mary's. It did something to the weight distribution, because the front holds nicer in the corners. A little low, and the neck is a bit sore, so I raised it with one 10mm spacer. No flats in three rides now.
Put the old Pushed float on the Curtlo, and am debating sending the 1.5 year old RP3 to Push. It seems to be taking more air spring to prevent bottom out, so I think the damping is gone.
Finally, I was checking the trueness of my wheels, and noticed that the rear seemed straight, but way out of dish. Further inspection revealed a slightly bent non-drive side seat stay. Clearly crash damage. Don't know when it happened, but it doesn't seem to have any affect on the ride, so it stays.
G'night
