  1. I've been riding the SS exclusively for the past 2 weeks.
    Today, I was just not into it. It was hot (95 deg F, w/ a
    100 heat index), I only had 6 hrs sleep, and had a long
    day. So at the trails I couldn't concentrate, I was falling,
    sliding, unable to hit some hills, and got really tired. I only
    road 5 mi. It's just one of those days.

    But at least I rode! 🙂

    Well, that's okay. You got your one bad ride of the year out of your
    system =)

    Mix it up, unless you plan on switching exclusively to SS. Also take
    that shock off of the front of that thing. It's only an impediment.

  6. Get out off the hot and nasty NC.

    I put a real chain tensioner in lieu of the rear der.
    acting as one, and switched to 32f/16r, and put
    a new head set on. So I wanted to try to see how
    it rode with the new parts. No more chain falling
    off. I'll stick with the (free) shock fork for now.

    Yep, I believe I'll ride the FS this weekend.
