    It may come back.

    You have to admit the group lost its way there for a bit. It takes a
    different sort of person to enjoy taunting the short bus riders and I am not
    one of them and don't enjoy those that do.

    I just keep 'blocking sender' on the junk threads and don't think I've
    missed a thing.

    A couple topics on my mind:

    goatheads.

    single speed set up: I have a soulcraft convert now and it works great.
    Would like a steel frame and this has me wondering if I would pick anything
    up with horizontal drop outs. Wheel changes would be a hassle and I hear a
    lot of complaints about slippage. Maybe just a verticle drop out steel
    frame for easier wheel changes and frame versatility?

    I'm a big fan of horizontal drops for a SS. I have a Surly 1x1 and have
    had it slip on me once when I changed a flat with a hex wrench on a
    multitool that was only about two inches long (not enough leverage).
    Since I've gotten a decent allen wrench for my pack I have had zero
    problems. Paul Word hubs with brass washers probably help the grip too.

    Good to know Matt. Thanks.

  5. Should I return and mention something about greasing/not greasing tapers?
