Bonding

Fabulous, fabulous ride on the MM today. Loving the new set up.



I was able to ride all over Granite Basin. Took the techy route out from Wmson valley trailhead, up and back mint wash, eventually climbing all the way up to where 332 connects to GB road and down down to the trailhead (again taking the techy way.)



This thing is fast, comfortable, and handles beautifully.



I did make a few changes:

Took the Fox 100 fork from the Rig. and put it on. It blows the WB fork away by a large margin. The front end is just a lot more predictable and sticky for lack of a better word.



Took off the weight weenie Arch rims and replaced with Hope Pro 2's laced with straight gauge 2.0 spokes to Flows with Rampages. Nice, stiff and heavy. I had not liked Rampages as much as the Nevegal thus far, but I must say, they performed great today in the lose conditions at GB. Fork or tire? Hard to say. I like the wheels, but the clatter of the rear Hope is annoying.



My hardtail is out of a job and needs to be dismembered. I will be keeping one light rigid SS. Rig or Zion? Hard to pick?



The WB fork is going as well.




I see my future ride mix being about 80% milk money, 15% Lunchbox, and 5% rigid SS. The MM just pushes all the right buttons...It has the SS thing going on which is always fun, but still allows me to descend quickly and in control.

Cicadas just came out and are making lots of noise out there!
