yes i know.... that's how we normally buy them.... but when my total is 49.98 and i need something to put it over 50..... (or 48.98 even).... it's worth it to me to add one or two .99 co2 cartridges rather than another 9.99 item.... you need to learn the art of bargain shopping!

lol! nope! i spent a long time searching last night for the cheapest USEABLE thing i could find at performance! and the cartridges fit the bill! (not that i would mind adding the PI ear warmers to each order... but the more i spend the less my savings! yes..... shopping is an ART!)

There is nothing left for me. I have all the tools. I think I have about 20 tires, 8 chains, 3 clusters, a few cranks, a few brifter sets, I mean I already have a large inventory.

And I have all the clothes I need.

So, this last order I bought a 10-pack of tubes, a portable chain breaker, and another multi tool. I have 9 bikes and each one has a complete saddle bag with its own gear. I have a freakin' bike shop here.

And I thought 120mm was ALOT of travel, but you're doing jumps and logs, where I'm hitting rock gardens

jumps, rocks, logs, and steeps. Just a little extra insurance, as the geometry slacks out its better for steeps and bashing through things. Wont climb quite as nice, but since Im a SS nut, I climb out of the saddle alot anyway. I have the Talas on there now and I just dont like the small bump characteristics of an air fork. Coil is much nicer. Its only another 10 mm, so thats just under halh of in inch. Alot of the bikes around here are in excess of 5 inches front and rear. the Yeti rear is 5.75, now the front will be right there too. Seems like the 6 inch bikes are all over the place here.

No kidding. It is a three car garage and we can barely fit one car. Pretty soon, the wife's car goes to the driveway.

oh I was talking about my other bike, my SS has the 105mm. My full suspension is 120mm, with adjustable rear, 5" or 5.75". I have it set to 5" and thats plenty for what I do. My front has the ETA lock out so it locks when compressed so it changes the head slack enough to make it climb better. The fully is super plush, I hit all the big rocks on purpose
