Glass replacement

do I need to scrounge Rory's garage for older MTB parts for my new MTB?

you got an mtb? I am sure I have some crap that "scroungable"

yeah that is true, if you are doing a lot of accelerating it would wind you down with inertia alone. ultimately i'm a big believer in find what you like and that IS best. nines and sixes certainly have their pros and cons... biggest con to 9 i've found is lack of options... tires, wheels, forks, frames, etc. but it is miles better now than it was 3 years ago when i built mine.

in the scientific sense, i have a an Energy problem, not a Power one...

and back to rory, that is a SWEET bike rack for certain.

29ers have come a long way from 3 years ago. Even Yeti has two models. I never really had any problems pushing around the bigger wheels, I actually loved how they climb. My problem was the super steep head angles, no decent tires and no good forks. That has all changed recently, but I am super happy with my sixers.

The North Shore racks are awesome. I have had a chance to check out a couple and they are nicely made. Problem is they have a steep entry fee.

since this turned into an mtb thread, any of you have a 29er suspension fork for sale? My shoulder problems have kept me off my rigid niner ss all summer and it sucks. My fs stumpy 26er isn't nearly as fun.

I am sure you know about the MTBR Classifieds, and I have been having some good luck at Pinkbike also.

I'll check out pinkbike. Keeping an eye at mtbr. Mostly, I just don't have the funds right now, so I ride the fsr instead.

pick up a wide rim and a huge volume tire. if you set it up tubeless you can run real low PSI and get a little bit of squish

I'm in love... err, lust... surly sure is a unique bike company, kudos to them. : beer:

That has to be like pedaling a dirtbike... with no suspension.

With some studded tires in the snow, that would be a blast!

Ash, I have that Schwinn Moab that you saw on my wall if want a bike. The Redline will be too big for you, and still use the Litespeed. I should have enough parts to get it trail worthy if you are still intrested.
