Default Ok MattB, you warned me!

From 45 mins. down to 30 mins. did the same loop twice in 1
hour. I was more aggressive this time since I know the bike
was gonna hold up. I only stopped since the chain kept
popping off (I use an old rear der. for a chain tensioner).
I bought a Surly-like chain tensioner from eBay to hopefully
alleviate this issue.

3 days in a row now on the SS. So Matt am I hooked?

Sure sounds like it. Are you finding your thoughts during
the day turning to horizontal dropouts? Do you look at
trails differently (thinking: "I could milk some mo' in that
compression to power up that"). It's probably terminal.

Matt (but I still like the FS too!)
