"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Looks like we have a mtb racer here.
Did you go tubeless? I noticed your air pump. Those Cane Creek bar ends are really awesome. How much does your bike weigh?Last edited by sundial; 04-21-2009 at 11:33 AM.

I think my first race will be the dirt sweat and gears 12 hour on May 9th, so I'm not a racer just yet

And yes, I'm tubeless- I did carry a spare tube, boot (aka cut-up race number), tire lever, and the air pump with me, though, just for insurance purposes.

Beautiful! I am green with envy!
How do you like the ride? How does she corner? We need a full review of the 29er experience!

Ah the Thomson setback seat tube. Is that a Salsa collar?
Are your rims DT Swiss?
Your bike is making me drool.

Today was only my second ride, and I got into some flow-ey singletrack... it was AWESOME!!!! I felt just as confident taking turns on it as I do when I'm on pavement riding my road bike!
Only exception: mud... the tires on it are not very good in the mud, so even running tubeless @ 25psi, I still slid all over the place every time I hit a mud hole. I ordered some different ones this morning that should give me a bit more bite in the greasy stuff.

I love the red spoke nipples and hubs! That bike is too hot, you should call it Fuego!
