"The Big Sale"
It seems that all of my "never's" have become necessity.
Pricepoint is having "The Big Sale", so I picked up a new drivetrain b/c mine's worn out. I don't recall if I ever said I'd never roll with a PG990 again b/c I still prefer XT, but the price was right...$62.50 vs. $85 for the XT. Snizzagged a 971 chain and a Raceface 32t too.
So how many never's have I eaten lately?
Never have an air fork...check.
Never ride anything but a dually...check.
Never use a PG990 cassette again...check.
Never use carbon...check.
Never roll with anybody but Kenda...check.
It was a big meal of "nevers" but I may have learned a lesson in life about what never to say again.

Yah...27 flat right now. Still got a Birthday though...then we're lookin' at a mid 26lb...but who's counting anymore, haha?
It's fast though. The Kings are crapola on pavement compared to a Nevegal...but they're not going to be on much pavement.

I may have just dribbled in mah shorts...
That's ironic.
Soon, you will be on a Blindside with a Rone...I'll be on a DMR with a DeeJay...and Doug will be on some goofy Kinesis with 3 different forks staring him in the face.

I'm looking seriously at the Corsair Crown
.
Looks like you laid in some good stock, Ed. PP's Big Sale was too much to resist, eh? I snagged one of the Sette suspension/dropper seatposts just to finally try it out. I'd pestered the pee outa Rankin about his and figured the next time it went down to $30, it would be worth the gamble to fool around with it on the DB. My broken wing should be healthy enough for a little easy 'flying' next Wednesday night so I'm going to finally get to try it out.
