Yeah, I pretty much figured that out. Hence the taco.

Um probably. I doesn't look nearly as impressive as it did before Justin tried straightening it.

What did you get for a new front wheel?

If you are thinking of replacing your wheels look into the Easton Havoc's. They are a really light and super strong AM wheelset. Can be found 1/2 price on a few sites right now for about $350. Plus they are hand built!

It's a pretty nice wheel... it's a bontrager of some sort. I don't really care what it is really, for the price he gave me. I do seem to recall bontrager using chris king bearings in some of their wheels, that'd be sweet if I just scored one of those.

Also, I think almost all wheels are hand built. Hand laced anyway. It would be really hard to design a machine to lace a wheel. I know a lot of wheels are machined trued, but a machine can true a lot faster than a person can.

On the new bike? Man, that really sucks. Maybe the training wheels came off too soon?


Where did you guys go in Nam? what's better about LW?

I have no idea really, since we were lost 95% of the time. We did do about 15 miles though.

Nam's park is awesome but there is just seems to be a lack of technical riding and steep rollers. IMO, park riding just isn't that much fun. I just love technical riding with small drops and steep rollers a lot more. But yeah this is just all my opinion. I know Eatskisleep actually likes Nam more, but than again he is riding a DH bike.

I dropped off a rock, and hit a big rock... glancing side blow. I stayed upright, because otherwise it wouldn't have been that big a deal. But if one were attempting to purposely taco a rim, there would have been no better angle with which to hit the wheel than how I hit it...

Admit it, you just aren't that incredible rider that I am. ;-) (I went off first and landed it just fine)

A) Where is the picture of the taco? We like carnage!

I was in a pinch since our Killington trip is this weekend.

B) How was the Kmart trip?
