I looked at mine today and thought about washing the mt. Beauty off it, but then I took a nap on the couch and went and got a haircut. And now I'm writing this babble cos the mrs is watching gossip girl (so am I but don't tell anyone).

Its cool Dunndog, those girly shows are loaded with hot girls so just mute the dumbness and ogle. ;)
I put my new rear wheel on my Reign, new cable and outer and tuned the gears. I've had some dilemmas with my XT wheel and hub over the last year with it being a simple piece of shit but not anymore! Finally my Reign is on the go again. ;) Unfortunately the clouds are getting thicker so I may have to postpone. :(

I cleaned my DH bike and looked lovingly at it's perfection and wondered if I am making a mistake selling it. We've had some good times together...

Assembled son's new Shred 2-4 and felt fairly jealous of the high roller 2.5s what came on it...made my ignitor 2.35s look like skinny roadies...

Frigged around for ages with my new bike's 120mm fox air forks trying different air pressures and ultimately concluded that short travel air forks will *never* be as plush as a (heavy) coil spring fork.

Also looked at the skinny little tubeless tires (with f**k-all grip) and wondered how the hell I could improve the traction situation without a massive weight penalty...

Shiny new chain and cassette on the XTC.....and some sticky new Schwalbe tyres as well. Trance still awaits new swingarm bearings after which it will get a new front dérailleur and gear cables/housings.

Fixing more than riding the last few weeks :(

Put the seat down and took off the spuds on the XC bike I just picked up. I just don't care if they make distance and climbs easier!!!!!....., they kill ALL the fun on the downhill sections!!!!

exploded the CRAP out of some Schwalbe Tabletops. turns out that 60 Psi inside a 2.7 inch DH tube is can't be contained by a Tabletop
