What was I thinking???

Thanks all! Still have the mojo, just not the confidence. Intense was nice enough to send us a bunch of tires to try, so I may put something a bit more grippy on her. I have pics on my photobucket site of my new brakes.

Running Mommy - since you now have tubeless; try them with a lot less air than you normally run. That's one of the perks of tubeless; it might make them handle really nicely and grip really, really well!

Oh the pink brakes are wicked looking! I love it. What kind of pedals do you have? It looks great, too bad it isn't feeling better. I am sure it will all click back. That was one nasty wreck last week.

the pedals are crank brothers 5050. They have interchangable color plates. So they are pink and silver. I'm remedial when it comes to mtn biking, so I dont clip in.

Isn't the worst idea. I still haven't given up but I keep toying with idea of being a complete mountain bike fred and putting a platform on my left side, leave the clip on the right. DH is appalled at the thought. Like he should even get an opinion, right? We can't all be the cool kids.

actually we have more than a few customers who are very good mtn bikers who ride platforms. A couple of guys race and are pretty fast too??
I just need to develop my skills a bit more.

I think am going to try the Time XS first. I am not convinced with my weak ankles the Candies are easy release as advertised. I feel locked in them which stinks because they are yellow and I really like them. Sorry to threadjack.

I really like the pink brakes, did the mechanics balk at putting them on? There are a couple at my shop that never seems to be put off by my need for my bikes to be "pretty". The others kind of look at me like "okay, whatever".
