I really like my DirtCHIX group!!! I have a hard enough time keeping up with them.

My bike and I were out of commission for a week. A week ago monday I had ordered new Panaracer Fire XCs from Pricepoint. They came in. I installed them. I THREW OUT the old tires. On inspection I realized the new tires were Tiawanese knock-offs not the real thing. I ran to the garbage. The trashman cameth. Took off new tires and shipped back to Pricepoint with a nasty email. Ordered from Performance. Three days later called, they lost my online order. Re-ordered. Waited two days. New tires came in yesterday. First time (well, second) installing folding tires- no big deal. Today I am running errands on the bike. Tomorrow a car shuttle 11-mile downhill singletrack in the pines. I CAN'T Wait.
