Here is a sequence of shots my 5 year old took of me riding today on my Qball
Another shot she took as well:

Qball in the Fall
- Thread starter CT QBall 29er
- Start date
Nice - where are those trails? And how did the tires you were running handle all the downed leaves???
Monroe Railtrail. There are a few trails coming off the roadbed that I have yet to explore. Next time, I am down there, I might try some of the trails that go around Wolfe Park and then follow the railtrail down into the Pequonnock River Valley (aka Trumbull), which by the way is awesome for Singlespeedin!
Actually, I am running new Motoraptors and they are pretty good in the leaves. I think the nanoraptors would not be that great in the leaves but these nobbies have some great teeth!
Cool - nice day to be out on the bike.
Great shots. Looks like fun. Everything up here is soaking wet, we have had snow above 2000ft, rain below since Sunday. And now the snow level is creeping down...
The Moto is a suprisingly good tire, despite what folks may think on "other" forums. I run them on my KM spring and fall, and switch to Nanos in the summer.

And the price on Motos and Nanos should come down a bit with the introduction of the newer bigger wideer tires shouldn't they?
I am planning on a second wheel set for my Nanos. That way I can mix and match. I think the Motos will be good in the snow (I ride all year round). My Kenda Stickey-ez were awesome in the snow last year, in fact I never had to go to studded tires.
Nanos are great for the rail trails, which I think I will be riding alot more because my 5 yr old now has the bug. She hit me up this morning for another Sunday ride. What I really have to do is work on this trail near me that she'll be able to ride once I get her used to climbing hills.
Mark - what is the wheelset that Scott Q. spec'd out for your Qball?
George, thanks! I forgot to mention that I was playing around with the front page of my blog and I put up your Bike29 Icon/Avatar on it. I figured you wouldn't mind the free advertising.
Velocity Wheels
laced to what brand of hubs??
YOu like em? Is the rear a ss specific hub or a cassette hub?
I have to go home and look.
Okay lemme know what they are.
I have to say that I am really flattered. I'm just a guy trying to make my way.
I am really stoked that you put the banner link on your blog, and the avitar thing, well, icing on a very delicious cake.
I owe you a serious hangover!
The hubs are velocity, too.
Yeah, George - I think you have a Class A operation and I think it would make a great case study for all those MBA pukes who want to learn how to make a business successful. You have the Brick and Mortar store and from what I can tell, you have a thriving Net biz. I think its awesome.

Well I totally appreciate the support. I'm gonna make you some serious BBQ and beer when we ride together.
I've been in the bike biz for almost 15 years, in almost every aspect, but this is the first time I have been at the controls. Every day is a struggle, especially when going against some seriously big guns.
This isn't a money thing for me, this is a passion, and the more like minded folks I meet, the safer I feel about the future of our sport.
I'm 1000% yankee (but not a yankee
fan, Red Sox, all the WAY!), which means I do business within my means. Treat folks the way you would like to be treated. We are all consumers here. We all like the same thing.
Now... let's play bikes!
