Gonna try to get out for a ride Friday. My new seatpost should be coming that day, so I'm going to try to swing home to get the seatpost, install it, and then ride. It will all depend on what time I can leave work as to whether I can make it to Nass for a ride or not. I'm figuring a 6pm start.

Put me down for a maybe since tonight looks like a wash.

What are you trying this time for a post?

Easton Havoc. It's supposed to be suited for freeride/all mountain type of riding, so hopefully it holds up. I got it for a pretty good price too... :beer:

Post still due to be delivered tomorrow? I'm in. Didn't get to take my bike out on the trails today but performed flawlessly around the neighborhood!

Bri, do you have a schrader tube? Just need to borrow it to put in my pack in case I have a flat. If not I'll try to pick one up somewhere tomorrow since I hate to just rely on my patch kit.

I don't think I have any schrader tubes left. I'd offer you a presta to throw in your pack (it would work just fine in a schrader rim), but I'm runnin low on those too. I put holes in both of my spares that I used to 'repair' my seat post last ride. :-?

The seatpost is still due tomorrow, it's sitting in Granby CT right now so I don't see why it wouldn't get here...

Would that be one of the tubes you gave me? If so, you're welcome to it, Jeff.

Presta tubes will work just fine Jeff, that's what I've been using in my schrader wheels.

Weather isn't looking good for this tonight. It's raining hard here now, and the radar doesn't show any chance of it stopping any time soon. Unless it somehow changes for the better soon I'm calling off the ride tonight. :smash:

Makes sense. It's been drizzling here in Manchester for the past 2 hours, about 15 minutes ago it turned to a heavy rain.
