Thanks :-D. I pulled those 1.5" tires back off this morning tho...probably just a dusting,but theyr're already calling for snow as early as this weekend,so's I reinstalled some tires she used to wear,1/2 worn Continental Vapor 2.1"ers for a lilttle more bite.

That would be a steep ratio,especially around here where my regular road rte has sustained 18-32% grades. I always liked the looks of the 9-2-5...was thinking of buying a Metro 9 tax time...but the mtn bug bit hard and now I'm thinking about that new Monocog 29er I meant to by last tax time,LOL! I may look into one later in the year if the $ presents itself. (it's as likely as not...instead of just "not likely this year" for once,LOL)
