  1. I was drooling over a full XT SC Blur in just my size.

    "It's going to be my ride this year...You can take it out for a **full
    day long demo** if you like."

    Geez... I can't say no to a nice looking Pizza Bun... How the h+ll am I
    gonna turn down an offer like that.

    repeat to self:

    [censored]! It's almost as if they're trying to trick you into buying it! 😉

    Your front QR should be on the non-drive side. Otherwise, yum. Ourys?

    ODI Lock-ons with Ourys.

    And the QR is on the drive side per shimano's reccomendations - I didn't
    have any interference problems, however its real easy to either touch a hot
    disc or schmear it with finger oils with the QR on the same side as the
    disc. the rear is on the ndside because of all the derailleur stuff, plus
    you don't need to take it out as often. Technically it should be on the DS
    too.

    She probably does, and you should get her one, but you need to be
    rewarded for being such a good husband, so that you'll be a good husband
    again and again.

    Just cos it's getting cold in your part of the world (snigger) is no reason to
    think Christmas is coming.
    Nice and warm here...

    :-P

    May not be so bad for me this year.
    All going well, I'll be moving to an area that has the highest per annum
    sunshine hours and some primo trails. I'm looking forward to winter this
    year :-)
    I might even take a couple of months off and head over to do some biking in
    the States yet.... (lock up your daughters) if I get my [censored] into gear and
    do some planning.

    I'd be willing to bet that Rog would opt for a 5 Spot well before a santa crud.

    Why?

    The front wheel doesn't have a drive side...

    If you run it on the side with the disc brake, you can toast your
    fingers on the rotor if you have to pull it off for patching.

    Being the non-blind brand loyalist that I am, that Ventana X5 looks like a
    nice ride. It's even built in house unlike my 5 Spot.

    So far, I'm very happy with my El Saltamontes and am considering an El
    Fuego for the little woman. I notice a significant handling improvement
    over the Ellsworth Truth, the fork is different, but the brakes and
    wheels are the same. Very stiff rear end.
