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! ![]() -- - Zilla Cary, NC (Remove XSPAM) |

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. JD |

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. -- - Zilla Cary, NC (Remove XSPAM) |
