I may give those another try this season, and quit being such a puss about the resistance when climbing.

I currently suck at climbing but no care at the moment. These will be the beefiest tire I have ever owned. I predict spanext clad minions will have me eating their dust.
it might not be that they're slow climbers, maybe just slower than minions or hrs. they do provide killer traction out here so it's worth it if more can be done about the 'being a puss' issue when climbing. a wise man once told me "you just need to suffer more".
The seat tube mount with elastic lead is $13 on ebay, See how she does. So far I've just been holding her on her short lead, but peddling the dirt jump bike while seated is the suck. I guess could raise the seat up for touring the 'hood.
Hmmm... this sounds familiar.
Got some of this last night on beer-man's recommendation. STRONG effort by Eddyline. And strong beer to boot.
This song is now what I sing in the shower

You're in luck - you can still get pretty short-travel forks with straight steerers.
Wait... that's probably not 1-1/8, is it? You're screwed.

I need to find a crusty old mechanic with an awesome set of obsolete tools and miracle stash of also obsolete seals.
I used to have one of those! The kind with the hole in the lowers for even more weight loss!
Could I interest you in some homeopathy, my ill friend?
Let me guess - you pried them apart, and because having them bled recently, the pressure build up destroyed the master cylinders?Just changed out the front brake pads on the old steed...
And now the front brakes don't work at all. No movement of the pistons.
I do not have the drilled out lower lowers.
wtf kind of mickey mouse electric distribution system supplies you your power?!?!
Equipment made of cheese apparently. It's an electrical switch bus something or other in the manufacturing plant that is doing it.
Coffee machine still works...
Do it! At least for the front tire. Corners better than the Butcher I was running and the DHF before that with no unpredictable break away while cornering. Just run a semi-slick out back if you are worried about rolling resistance, after all, it isn't the quickest rear tire by any means.
I have a minion ss, almost died when I tried them before, gave it away to FullTrucker I think. I should try again.
Saw my girlfriends Mom naked today. Now I am going to have to go to the strip bar and spend a boatload of cash to burn that image from my thoughts... I need whisky now. Fack....
You should. I've been running the e13 up front with a Slaughter out back ever since I got my SB5 and it's been a fantastic combination. Only times it's performed sub-optimally has been on polished rocks or logs and in soft deep stuff.
New rule. Cut them loose after side boob gets over 4" . Gahhh!!
New pants day.

Front e13 is fucking fantastic, rear would not seat easily and when finally seated would not hold air. Pumped up to 28 6 times in 5 miles. Dropped Giggle Pig off at shop to be picked up next week. Loading up the GT and headed back out because trails are prime and rain is coming in a few houes.
Mind. Blown.
I too run meaty knobs, but because I ride like an old downhiller and climb like one. I'm in no hurry to get to the top and like to get mah rawks on.
4 boys between the ages of 7 and 11 on the trampoline...what could go wrong?
and concur w/ @AngryMetalsmith - hr2 in the back, dhf up front
do you mean this is the first of four annual new pants days or you've bought one out of four needed pairs of new pants?

Fuck. That's probably EXACTLY what happened.Let me guess - you pried them apart, and because having them bled recently, the pressure build up destroyed the master cylinders?
Fortunately, a mate has TWO sets of Elixir-R's that he's going to just give me.
Bought 4 new pairs of pants (shouldn't that be 8???).
Wearing 1 of 4.
Went to Bonobos store. Tried on one pair for size/fit. Clerk looked up inventory in that size with her iPad. Picked 4 I liked. She took a pic of my credit card, and sent me out the door with an email and a promise. Three days later, a box of pants arrived.
Sounds very hip.
Filled up the pepper mill. While doing so I spilled half of them on the Kitchen floor. The ones that ended up by the Cat bowl I discarded, The rest I scooped up and put in the pepper mill. Don't tell anyone. I mopped and cleaned the floor afterwards in case anybody noticed, both my crime and how dirty the floor actually was...
You remember back in the good ol' days when weed came with shitloads of stems and seeds? Yeah - I had a roommate that would save the seeds and put them in the pepper grinder. Fucking stoners.
Back from 2nd attempt at trail riding and it was successful. I've been running butchers and slaughters on the hard tail and 5" travel bike for awhile. They work well for me but it is pretty clear after just 5 miles the triple compound e13 has more grip. It also throws rocks and shit into your face at speeds over 20mph, damn little rocks were flying.

I thought that this would simmer down over time with the Wild Rock'R's... but it hasn't. I may have to get fenders for the damn bike...
