Are you getting the rack/carrier for Christmas?

 

That would be great! But I doubt it, I told my parents not to get me anything since they're helping me buy a place.

 

Well hurry up and get a damn rack then!!!!

I got my parents to buy me a fairing for my racks

 

i need a fairing as well...i forgot to ask for one this Christmas.

prolly better off, cus the wifey would have walked into REI and paid full pop for one and i can get them on eGhey for less all day long.

plus i really wanted a pair of supertones, so thats the only car related thing i asked for, hoping to increase my chances...although the wifey doesn't see "upgraded horn" as a major neccessity.
i keep making little comments about the OE horn to increase my chances.

i think i should be able to make it on Sat...i wanna check out the Quarry/PGE but i don't know if we'll have the extra time.
matt i have that Bike mag w/ the photo and i'll be sure to bring it if i come.

 

We'll have time. Come out!!! I'd be down to see if we can get up that trail

 

wooo. i wanna see how steep it is in person...
the guy in the photo looks like he's cookin coming off that trail and he's rockin a F/S bike and a full face helmet so it makes me think it's pretty severe.

 

I'll bring my camera. If you can get up there I'll take the pic of you coming down

 

uuhh...yeeeaaaahhh.:rotfl:

 

I might have to show up for this one. Could I swing by your place in the morning, Matt?

 

Definitely. Be here around 7:30. I'll leave at 8

 

Sweet!!!

 

wo0ho0! new blood!

just for that, you can have first decent on the quarry BOMB...i'll letcha'.

you know how friggin cold it's gonna be at 9am?
dang! wish this was AFTER Christmas...
i know the wifey got me some cold weather gear hiding behind a bow under the tree...
i accidentily stumbled across an email confirmation of an order shipping from a online bike place when i was checking her email for her...oops!

 

Ya, all of my cold weather riding gear is under the tree too.

So who's up for a day after Christmas ride? :rotfl:

9AM Saturday shouldn't be too bad since the overnight low is only 45. It was 42 last time we rode it!

 

45 in sac means 42 in the hills...add in the canyon and the river you're looking at pockets of the mid to upper 30's!

believe me, my house is in a canyon and there is a creek between our house and the road...
it is always 5-10 degrees cooler at our house than it is in the rest of the town cus of the creek and the deep canyon.

but i'm still down!

thinking of getting some disc brakes...trying right now to figure out how to justify them to the wifey...
they're only $29ea end on a one day Christmas sale at Jenson!
and they're 8" rotors...they're still cable but no more rim brakes!
means i have to pick up a set of disc wheelset too, but they have a decent set for like $89.
and i do need a new wheel set...

 

Does a disc brake setup make up for the lost leverage when you move the friction point from the rim to a smaller diameter disc?
