i have some beat up ODI ruffian grips. too bad i just sold the lock rings last week. also have a pair of wellgo non replaceable pin pedals. i was going to keep the pedals to throw on the commuter but the plastic pedals will do.
so i assume you haven't bedded your pads in yet. you need to break in your pads and rotors before they start biting real good. find a hill and grab the brake a few times repeat as necessary. . a few good trail rides should bed the pads properly. if your levers feel spongy then they need a bleed...
fells riding is pretty good. has some decent technical stuff in there. no things to jump off of that i know of but i don't catch air often. yes there are some sketchy people in the fells. during that ride i had some weirdo pick up a rock in the middle of the trail and stared at me. i just gave...
will these be impact rated? ansi z87.1 or similar? i think an impact rating is a worthwhile addition to all goggles and eyewear. this is something i look for when buying

i left the armor at a buddy's house when i met up with him to prep for the trip. we had to drive an extra 2.5 hrs to get to CT and load up the roadtrip car. i could have used some of that armor when i took a spill bombing down a downhill on left loop. :(
no real reason for the full face except...
we rode left, right and mouse loop. we were going to save thompson for the last day because it was short(7 or 8 miles) but we packed up early due to rain/mechanicals. left loop on day 1 was tough because we were low on sleep and food. day 2 was right loop which we did all 15 miles or so, very...
