Not telling.

Let's play 20 questions, are you still done with full suspension?

Tease.

soft tail?

Matter as well spill it, you probably won't see as much of me anymore. The new bike is a 2nd fixed gear, and will likely be parting out the mtb.

Fixed gear road or mountain?

Road.

Dude. I call BS on this.

Say it aint so!

So will we just have D as a Mod now?

Has anyone read the Pisgah artical in Bike magazine? I found it amusing.

About the two weekend warriors that carried in all there gear? no I haven't. A friend was telling me about it yesterday on the trail, but then she fell and fractured her radius. I never heard the rest of the story.
Was it good?

It was a funny read.I think that since those are my home trails I got a kick out of it.

I may keep the mtb, but riding it has gotten almost to the point of routine, and there is just nothing there to keep me interested anymore. So maybe I should say it's a indefinite hiatus from a mountain bike.

OK I just read it, It was funny! Three guy's not two, huh? I really liked this part

Bike magazine:We lounge in a shallow bend in the river next to our campsite, sip cold cans of Coors, and figure out the math for the day.
Thirty miles, omly 7 of which are downhill, with a total elevation gain of
around 3500 feet. High on our first days accomplishment, we discuss the various superpowers we'd like to have.Jeremiah and I choose Invisibility for Obvious and obscene reasons, and Jeff say's he'd like the ability to give people titty twisters from across the room because, and I quote
"You could stop all kinds of crime with that sort of power"

That is both sad and scary indeed, is it not?

If it keeps the other mods out, I'm all for it.

Yes! You are correct sir!

When I am elected supermoderator, I will happily shoulder much of the load for you Doug.

I thought some of you may enjoy this:

Well it is official, I no longer own a mountain bike. Sold it to an ex-coworker.

Thanks Ben. I meant to look at those but seems I was always frantically searching for the #$@%^% schedule so couldn't take the time. The big gaps were huge - - I still have a hard time imagining landing them on small wheels.

This is a sad passage indeed. But we will not write you off; you will be back to the fold no doubt when the time feels right.

I think that's what makes some of the BMX ---> MTB converts fast, they really learn how to ride jumps fast on the little bikes.

It'll be sad to see you go Smashy. But you'll be back, I'm sure of it.

I'm going to be back with a mtb a year or two down the road.

I'm starting to think this fisher has a boomerang feature, the person who was going to buy it backed out. So I guess I'm just going to ride it until it blows up into a million peices.

Welcome back. See, now you have two fixed gear bikes and a mountain bike. I've seen pics of your garage, you have plenty of room.

I think I'm not going to try to break the bike. I was probably just burnt out.

I'm looking for some good 2.3s to go up front. What would you guys suggest?

Any one else get sore knees from clippless? For me its only the right knee, and lately its not so much sore as painful to the point it keeps me awake sometimes. Only after longer rides, 10 miles + do I get sore like that, but only in the right knee. Im assuming its the clipless pedals because I commute to work with cages on my other bike and that doesnt bother me. I was thinking it might be the position of the cleat? Am I doing to much biking? Commting 13 miles round trip to work 4 days a week and about 20-30 miles of Mountain biking on the weekend.

Its along the outside of the knee if any one else has experienced this before? It

Yes, I've had before. I played with cleat placement, and eventually went to a pedal with more float. If I ride a lot on the road bike I still get a touch of it.

what does more float mean? the pedal is less rigid? you can wiggle your foot around more? excuse my use of layman's words.
