Looking forward to your comments on it. Let me know if you want to hit up and after work ride sometime. I'm still heading out there in the evenings a few nights a week.
Peter: I wish I was riding it already. The deal with the Mrs. was that it would be a winter project and I would pay with cash on hand, no credit cards. Thankfully Xmas and my birthday are coming up.
What nights do you typically ride? It's been too long since I've been out.
Yeah, I was curious as well as to which fork you were putting on there.
I've been riding there pretty much every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but it looks like the Wednesday thing may end when daylight savings hits as it's not one of the 'legal' night ride nights.
I'd like to try to keep it up as it gets colder and darker. The new trails seem to be draining a lot better than those of old, so it may get ridden throughout the winter. (hoping)
I've still been pretty much keeping to the SS, though I did finally build my FS back up for a ride.
Let me know. I'll probably be back there again on Monday assuming the weekend doesn't flood the place.
I'll be over at 495 tomorrow morning helping with the jump maintainence and was thinking about working at Fountainhead on Sunday if I can't ride.
Nope. Look again at the third picture. It's a vertical dropout that slides in a horizontal slot. Once tension is right, tighten up the bolts and set the tug, and you're set.

I've only been on one once, but I liked it. It was easier to roll through rocky and rooty stuff. It was much more stable. Bigger wheels mean more tire on the ground...I was able to take corners much faster.
Sorry to Hijack Tim, but I'm sure you're reading this anyway... Things are going good. The graduate work has picked up and now with daylight savings and hunting season there is no more riding of the local gamelands with endless unmarked trails that really flow on a SS. Rothrock has some sections of trails closed, mainly Lon Berger for logging, so I haven't made it back up there lately. Hopefully next Spring everything will be back to normal at Rothrock and we can get together to finish the course.
Tim how did the Oatmeal Stout that you made come out? I just picked up a case of Troegs Oatmeal Stout and it is delicious. I still have a bottle of your first homebrew sitting in the fridge waiting for the end of the semester... Keep in touch guys, and Tim keep us updated on Operation 29er .
Oh yeah, and Tim, on a side-jack,... Tony and I will be hitting up the trails tonight if you're interested. Not long, probably meet around 6:00 and ride for an hour and a half or so... Let me know if you're in.
(You know, I never saw a thread about that we spoke about in the lot last week. any news?)
Hey Kyle, good to hear from you. Hopefully I'll have this thing together by the time your trails are back together. No way I'm letting that mountain kick my ass again. The stout turned out great. I've been trying to save some for some friends here and trips to PA, but it's not working out. I'll have to brew up another batch.
