No, the seatpost on my Rocky Mountain was always too short. I used that bike on my final lap at Dalton last year and could not get full extension on my downstroke. Longer seatpost = full extension = more power = faster pedaling = kicking Jackalope asses.douglas said:
How long is THAT going to take to get used to?
yeah, installing the SHIMANO was new to menarlus said:
Next season I will make the switch, unless any of my shifting components need to be repalced before then (cables don't count).narlus said:
You seem smart enough to handle it. If you hate it, send me your shimano and I will send you my sram. I like rapid rise.I Are Baboon said:BTW, why the hell didn't anyone tell me the new Shimano 760 rear derailleurs now come with REVERSE SHIFTING. God dammit!! MBC installed my new derailleur yesterday (yeah, that's right...shut up) and to our surprise shifting is reversed! Thumb shift is for shifting up, and finger shift is for shifting down.
You are mistaken.loco said:

Tell us when you start riding again, gym boy... 
You sure you can keep up with her on a SS ? aftre the way she kept up with us at Cockaponset that one time .tonyhawk said:
DO tell! More details !tonyhawk said:
Its good training for me too! So far, she's sticking with pavement this year - no trail races scheduled as of yet.splat said:
Nepaug SF is in Canton (near IAB & MBC). I'd say its one of the top 3 places to ride in CT. Last year when Jozz and Karine came down to visit, we went there on Sat (you missed that ride).splat said:
Pic's of you climbing?Jr_Bullit said:Good morning everyone!
I have...13 mosquito bites peppering my ankles this morning...the only part of me they could get to this weekend without getting killed...
Saturday was a quiet day, spent relaxing and reading and cooking and such. Learned to make these tasty rice and red-bean treats I haven't had fresh since I lived in Japan. Yummmm!
Sunday Steve and I went climbing. I did my first hanging belay ever!!! Kinda neat, though you do get kind of cramped swinging against a cliff 30 meters above the ground. I'm also pretty proud of myself for making it up the first pitch of the climb. Until this weekend, I've never attempted anything harder than a 5.9...this was a 5.10b trad - crack climb. I did okay, though didn't finish it clean. After doing it once though, I know the hold-ups were caused by my own head believing it was over my level, and not that it actually was outside my limit.
Tonight is YOGA - Snacks, you still in?
Tomorrow, hopefully a good ride.
See line one of my signature.johnbryanpeters said:

Sounds like fun. We (me, McG, MBC) will probably do the Reservoir though. We'll pace ourselves and give Laura plenty of time to work on her MTB skills.tonyhawk said:
Same here... Dang "Earth Day" theme...Echo said:

None from this weekend...no cameras came with. Steve has some from our last venture out to Squamish, but I don't know what happened to them...that was the fateful day of the rock fall when I got my face all scratched...stosh said:
