Dec 30, 2001 4:17 PM | | Finally got the surly built yesterday. After slapping on some 32mm tires and drinkin a beer. I said hell i have to ride this thing no matter what the weathers like. So i ventured into wildcat canyon for a coupla hours. in the slop those 32mm tires are sketchy. At speed on a descent theyre a total handful. I forgot what it was like to wheel drift in muck, at speed and keep balance. But it was fun, and ill do it again...soon
Peace
PS: thanks to all that helped me out with the sizing.file thing. i found that MS photo publish 2001 was included in my software bundle when i bought the puter, but never used it. |

I think I have a very similar setup, except, since I seem to be prone to wiping, I used the bar-con/aero lever combo being too nervous to go for STI.
'Cross bikes are an absolute blast in mud. Enjoy! |
