Sounds like a good deal, TexasPedaler! I'm thinking about a Nashbar carbon fork myself someday, I'd like to shed more weight since it's now my dedicated fast bike.

Speaking of the Denali, it's still in dry dock, so to speak. I was going to tear it down the other day when I remembered I needed to buy a tool to remove the Shimano cassette and I was feeling too cheap to buy anything else bike related that day. Might wait for around Christmas time when I have extra cash and can buy the stuff I don't really need right away.

Speaking of buying things, I had to get a new headlight for the other bike, as my Ultrafire flashlight was just being a total POS and wasn't reliable at all. I ended up with a Gemini Titan, a really nice improved Magicshine clone that is rated for 900 lumens. A full review and pictures thread is over in the Electronics forum, but here's a couple:





The beam pattern is really good, as is the brightness. It looks like a car or motorcycle's beam pattern, instead of a flashlight.

Other than that there is really nothing else to report. The Sovereign has 180 miles on it now, and still no problems.

Well, I take that back, there is one minor problem. When I cleaned off the freewheel with degreaser it seems I may have also removed whatever 30 year old grease was in the bearings of it that allows it to spin while coasting. This isn't really a major problem, but sometimes it stays locked to the wheel hub for a split second when I start coasting which takes up some chain and then pops free once it begins spinning. Doesn't harm anything or change gears on me. A new freewheel would fix the problem but it ain't really broke, so...
