Not bad weather, like the kind that makes schools close or delay or not... according to the flip of a coin or some random toss of chicken bones. No, the weather is going to be too good. Three days of sun leading into Saturday and then highs in the mid 60° range means we'd be pissing the better part of the day away if we DIDN'T go ride mountain bikes on dry trails. Starting The Fappening at 1:01PM or 2:01PM doesn't really make much of a difference. There's still plenty of time to make bad decisions and find the Cold Sprints at Snug Harbor later.
So, 2:01PM at Sugar Creek Brewing. If anyone thinks this is a deal breaker, you can go early and start without us. Or make protest signs and stand out front until we get there. I'll be riding my mountain bike in the woods, so what you're doing from wake up until then is not really my problem.
Oh, and about me...
I have acquired most of the things necessary to begin the 27.5+ experiment. I had to find a source for my now discontinued favorite rotors, sort through my cassette spacers to find enough for another geared wheel, some tires showed up that solve my rubber issues, and a phone call confirmed that I'm eight spokes shy of a wheelset (story of my life).
Eight spokes...
Hoping for next weekend.
Hope in one hand, shit in the other.

shit is one hand is better than a prick though..
Eager to see how those Maxxis plus tires work out for you. I'm working on putting together a set of carbon hooped boost wheels for my Stumpy 6Fattie, and would like to consider other tire options than the GC/Purgatory combination it came with.
You are chasing the questing beast. The beast cannot be caught- the quest becomes all-consuming.
Stop.
Wasn't there a recent post about best bike you've ever riden, or something like that?
But what if it could be bester?
Why don't you run an Ardent 2.4 on the back? Cause it's heavy right? You can feel the extra mass going uphill and when accelerating out of corners. No? This will be the same but exaggerated....I race SS against several guys who are now on 29+. They all swear that they won't/can't go back to standard 29 but their race times tell me that most are just a tad bit slower with those big tires.
I've weighed the Rekon/Ikon. They are both lighter than a 2.4 Ardent.
When I get my wheels, I'll weigh everything (wheels with tire, rotors, whatnot) and post up the results.
Too fapped out after Watts's visit for an update of what fappened?
stop washing thy hands and get blogging boy!
