Just checking the trail surface, thats what I'd go with.
Nice shots buy the way, where did you take those from?

It might be funny, ....... if you could figure out how to size your pictures to a reasonable size so that they don't take a F@#$EN year to download. (and yes, I have SBC and it still takes a F@#$EN year) Thanx!

My Fox shock is going back to Fox for a rebuild.
Waaaaaaaaaaaa, I wanna ride.

Hmmmmmmm!! How hard is it to change it out?? I really wanna ride.

I'm gonna call him (the dude that sold me the fork / that rides for Fox) and see if he can swap me something for the weekend. If not, I might just take you up on the offer, ......... BUT, I seriously don't know how to swap it out.

 

[MassiveAttack]

Maybe your dood can do it?

 

[Harpo]

Maybe your dood can do it?

Thanx! Let you know tomorrow.

depends on the steerer tube length and your headset. It's a 10 minute job if the bottom bearing races are compatible and the steerer tube is long enough.

Have fun this weekend, lets set something up for next weeekend. Anyone up for ride at Santa Teresa Friday after work? I can also bring my lights if anyone wants to do a second loop

Since Harpo's bike probably isn't going to be 100% for the weekend, Auburn / Folsom is off the list. I figure he's the only guy nutty enough to head that far out with me for good downhill and singletrack

Let's take a vote:

1. SDF - Maybe something different this time - a combination of Tractor / Sawpit / Braille?
2. Tamarancho - Haven't done it before. Sounds like fun, albeit a bit short at 10 miles. Might be worth combining with China Camp.
3. China Camp - Lots of singletrack, and the technical chutes on the backside are always a hoot
4. Annadel - it's a ways up, but probably the best singletrack in the area!
5. ECdM - I'm hesitant to go back before Giant Salamander is re-opened
6. Skyline in Napa - Haven't been there yet, but it looks like fun - http://www.mtbvideos.net/video/sky04.mpg

saint joes hill, in 1 hour...anyone?

 

[MassiveAttack]

i wish man - have fun!

Harpo, swapping off the lower crown race is a bitch if you don't have the proper tools. Definitely have your tech guy do it (especially with that pretty Chris King headset). If you don't have a ride, I can loan you my hardtail. It's a Santa Cruz Chameleon with a 4" rockshox fork. Riding geometry is going to be different from what you're use to. And btw, it's a 9 speed but climbs well.
Looks something like the bike below. Let me know and I'll haul it out on the sunday ride.

 

[MassiveAttack]

I say SDF, it's fun, it's technical and there are some climbs, (perfect for harpo). Plus it's local - gives party animals like Tical a chance to come out.

What do you guys think?

*So it looks like Harpo's got some options, no excuse to not ride.

I'd also like to add my vote for Skyline in Napa if SDF is not an option... that place is not the grandest... but I hear you can do multiple loops down.

+ the video is awesome!

 

[JnglstTICAL]

What time SDF? I may be in. I have a late night Fri though, so we'll see. I'll prob do Fremont older Fri morning...
