Good idea! I'll be sure to check them mid ride as well when I'm 're-seating' my stem and bar.

Took a chance on a used IH MKIII, I pick it up tomorrow!
I'm pumped! :beer:
Your gonna really like how that thing rides after being on the HT most of last season. Is Gremf going to autograph it?
I was wondering how long it was going to take you to jump on this on CF!:grin:

Did you have time to take it out last night?
Just around the backyard.
Got the new (to me) bike all cleaned and tuned. Did a few parts swaps and now it should be ready to go! Some minor brake rub, but I'll worry about that later. 
The rear 2.2 tire that I put on doesn't have much clearance, hopefully it doesn't rub...
Now I get to put back together the HT with all the left over parts. :beer:

The clearance on the rear tire is tight on the MKIII's regardless I'm running a 2.35 Kenda Nevi with out issue. Your are so going to love your new whip, none the less excited to hopefully get out and ride with you this week. :beer:
The 2.2 Specialized seems big for a 2.2, looks about as big as the 2.35 Nevi I have on the front. I couldn't see fitting anything bigger than that on there. For some reason I'm nervous about the maiden voyage of this bike. I wanted to take it for a short ride locally today, just to test it out, but that just didn't work out. It will be trial by fire tomorrow....

A new bike
I'm currently working on getting a new bike. A friends owns a local bike shop and trying to talk me into a Niner EMD 9 (slightly more than I want to pay). I'm also considering KHS Flagstaff. Hopefully, by mid May I'll rocking with something new.

Yeah, yeah, I know, reflectors.
Why do they even put them on? Road bikes don't come with them, and there you might be actually on, you know, the road. With cars and stuff.

Pretty heavy duty jack you got there for working on a bike. I just use a bike stand.
Nice seeing someone else get into cycling. I enjoy riding on the road as much as on the trail... they're both a lot of fun in their own way. I'm looking forward to hearing your take. I only started semi serious roadie-ing about four years ago, before that I did some slick tire mtb road stuff, but that's not nearly as fun.

Nice! Now go take the reflectors off and get it dirty!

Yes, I'm very happy with the new bike. I was already looking forward to this season, now with the new bike it's looking even better than expected. I can't wait to get back out on it! :beer:
I've read great things about the DW-Link rear suspension, now I'm pretty sold. When seated pedaling on smooth ground I hardly know there's any rear suspension at all. When the terrain gets rough the bike just sucks it up and allows me to power right through it. It's like glue to the terrain. I've made a bunch of rocky and rooty climbs that I would have had a lot more trouble keeping the rear of the HT planted on. Now I just need to get my legs and lung back into shape so I can make the longer climbs again...

Got my new ride. Took it out yesterday for a test run. Nimble. Fast and plenty plush!
