Default (Bad) RR

I've been riding the SS exclusively for the past 2 weeks.
Today, I was just not into it. It was hot (95 deg F, w/ a
100 heat index), I only had 6 hrs sleep, and had a long day.
So at the trails I couldn't concentrate, I was falling,
sliding, unable to hit some hills, and got really tired. I
only road 5 mi. It's just one of those days.

But at least I rode!

Good for you and at least you didn't get hurt.

Well, that's okay. You got your one bad ride of the year out
of your system =)

Mix it up, unless you plan on switching exclusively to SS.
Also take that shock off of the front of that thing. It's
only an impediment.

I put a real chain tensioner in lieu of the rear der. acting
as one, and switched to 32f/16r, and put a new head set on.
So I wanted to try to see how it rode with the new parts. No
more chain falling off. I'll stick with the (free) shock
fork for now.

Yep, I believe I'll ride the FS this weekend.
