So what? All you get is a little bit of stinky leakage from the valves every once in a while. No excuse to not reap the benefits of the dreamy creamy traction.

Stinky leakage:oink:

We used to get the empty 5 gallon milk bladders from the dorm cafeterias, tie off the hose and let them sit for a few weeks. When feeling a little mischievous we would wake some unsuspecting sucker by squeezing out all the nasty rotten milk air in their faces. Good times.

Better that no shrinks chime in on this one.:p ;)

My guess on Westy's new ride is........a manufacturer who's name begins with a T and ends in an R............frame name begins with F and ends with X.

Am I right Westy?

Yeah something like that. Turns out they have bolt on vee brake studs. Once I found that out it was a no brainer.

Y'know you could join the new millenium like the rest of us and run disc. i've heard that half and half works well in hydraulic systems.

I have disks on my other bikes. Vees are more than adequate for what this bike will see. No to mention I don't have the $$ to drop on a set of brakes and wheels of similar quality to what I already have, and the market ain't great for trying to sell my used rim brake wheels.

Hmmm i'm dissapointed. Money just shouldn't be an obstacle to adding more dairy to your cycling.

We havea Guy on our local Board "MCD" who rides a walt Works 29er single speed, MMcG has been drolling over it.
Too big for me. Turns out that Mert is looking for a new frame - I pointed him in the direction of Ted Wojcik - can't beat that Ted Wojcik NEMBA deal with a stick for a full custom steel hardtail frame. $795.00 and $100 of that goes to NEMBA - now that's cool stuff right there. :thumb:

Also - Westy's bike would be too big for me, and my stock of 26" wheels is now deplete.

I guess it is 29er for me from now on. And the Surly Karate Monkey is probably the most common 29er hardtail out there right now - so there goes that argument IAB. ;)

But you'd be fast on that Superlight Splat! :)

Well, then, maybe we could talk about bicycles? We're talking a Williston to New Haven or maybe Williston to Addison epic sometime this summer...
Road or MTB ride?
