The s-works Fast Trak LK tires have some STIFF ****ing sidewalls too. I have broken a bunch of tire levers trying to fix flats on my rear wheel with that tire. I hate that thing - will be replacing the tires when I start riding again . Maybe with the same model, just non s-works/2bliss. They're really fantastic tires. I rode them in some SLOPPY mud, dry, wet, etc, and they gripped everywhere.

And on the 100% gaurantee - it rocks. I've used it too. I traded in some Armadillo all-conditions after about 200 miles of use for the Armadillo Elite All-Conditions and only paid the difference in price (The elites are a bit more expensive due to the same flat protection but considerably lower weight). I love S.

 

Yeah, I broke a lever getting them off.

The Eskars are 2bliss and were almost as easy as regular tires to get on.

Both of the ones I got were >700g each, so not too bad of a weight penalty for ridiculously larger tires.

 

Dude, it cost me like 120 with two other junker bikes. I have too many bikes, it's yours if you want it, it's dope and should go to a good home

Needs work, of course, but it's an ATX 990 Team. 3 whopping inches of travel. You need to come see it if not buy it

 

I'll see you around 4:30, you bastard.

I just bought some Juicy 3's and some Stylo cranks for the Prophet, so I can finally put it together for good, and drag Scott out for some shuttle runs. Went through the other two bikes and got them squared away and farted around the neighborhood for an hour and a half yesterday, it's nice to have free time and actually be able to ride. If I can keep at it, I'll be in good shape (heh) to bring up the (wheezing) rear on some rides next season. It's been way too long.

 

So, we are probably doing GB (very slowly ) on Sunday or Monday if anyone wants to meet up.

 

Hey guys, did you see this?

It might be fun.

 

That does seem pretty cool.

Egan - did you see this thread on mtbr: here?

Apparently the GM at M&M threatened an mtbr member at Maria's in Auburn saying he tries to run down cyclists on Auburn-Folsom.

 

I always wonder what idiots like this think they're going to accomplish. Especially as a local business operator.....I'll have to find out from Kristina if there have been any longer-term issues with this guy (she doesn't work there anymore, but still...)

 

If he really was the GM. I always talked to the GM when I booked our M&M nights and I never dealt with a Johnny.

It seems very surprising to me that a Sheriff's Deputy didn't arrest the guy for assault and drunk & disorderly.

 

Me too. You would think that threatening to run over somebody with a car would put you in jail. It certainly should. Not much of a sheriff.

 

Hey Lance, did you ever get the link I sent you? I sent it to two differnt email addresses.

 

Or someone embellishing their story a bit?

 

It was posted by "bigboulder", so judging from some of his other post, that is very possible.

 

we'll be at GB at around 8:30am
