I did! I took the Cheeta out for a little "suburban" night time riding and had a blast! I have it set up in "Trail bike" mode now with a RS Psylo SL up front and a set of Mavic 519s from my Balfa and it rode nice. I think it needs some shifting fine tuning and the front Avid needs some tweeking, but all in all it was a blast to get out and ride tonight - really warm night here in New England so I just had to take advantage of it.

Here she is after the ride. Thought some of you might like to see what she looks like now since I took the DC fork off of her.

I know Splat and the boys got out and rode Vietnam tonight - but who else got out on this warm November night in New England or elsewhere?

Peace,

Mark

Bring her up to Lenox this Saturday. You can join Douglas and I at the Yokun ridge for 3 hours of kick-a$$ riding.

Probably 10-11:00 am, I'll have to see what Doug wants to do. It's supposed to rain all day Sunday, from what I hear.

My weekends are occupied with lots of ice hockey coaching and watching - really fun, but I'm itching for a good trail ride one of these days.

 

[berkshire_rider]

Are there places in your area you can do night rides at? It's pretty much mandatory this time of year, as it was dark before 5:00 pm tonight.

I went night riding tonight with a friend and my new Sugar. We rode a combination of fire roads and quad trails. Kind of windy and rainy but still good fun. I usually get two night rides in each week during the winter.

So far so good but, due to the monetary constraints a shoe salesman has to deal with, I was forced to outfit it with LX cranks and rings.

What's wrong with LX? Offers great bang for the buck doesn't it?

Yes except they replaced my much loved and well used Race Face Turbine LPs which were missing a tooth on the large ring - right behind the crank arm. I normally would have just ordered a new ring - and I still might - but they are the old square tapered dealies from the mid nineties. Best cranks ever though... I also went with a Deore front derailleur.

i concur.....
i was glad that Azonic still makes their double wall risers, i got one for my bikey a while back.
Maybe i'll get a Kore Elite stem and some Spin Rims and some Magura hydraulic rim brakes and i'll bring back the good ole days.
