Going Long and Hard.

[Steve Vai]

Post Endless Recovery Week, so far.

A couple weeks ago I bought a P.3 off the Employee Garage Sale. It came in during the event so I went in early Monday to build it. Rode it the last 2 mornings to reacclimate to riding a weirdo bike. Still sore as shit though.

Was also looking to snag an Epic Evo to have a more playful XC bike, but they’re not available for us to buy. So, I did the next thing to do and ordered everything to convert my Scalpel into an SE, which is the Cannondale version of the Evo. Except I wanted to keep the dual lockout so I can XC when I have to.

I also get to get rid of the sketchy Stan’s Crest wheels that I’ve seriously been wanting to replace. They suck so bad.

It’s 120mm front and rear. That’s basically a gravel bike now 😂

Finishing another morning of not pedaling. Have a 200k next weekend and then might show up for Iron Cross the weekend after. Letting my PTO accumulate enough to do another long event for Fall.

Anywho…

The Cannondale SE swap is a success. Ordered an eccentric shock bushing kit to kick the HT angle back a degree and it’ll be perfect.

Also, they sent me a brand new Karoo!! The one I broke had over 30k on it and was submerged twice 😂

100 or 120mm? Remote lock out?

100 with remote. I bid $1,400 on a 120 and lost, hence the Rockshox setup.

If you're willing to spend that kind of money...https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/4013595/

The one upstate NY that was selling for $600 was still there back a couple of weeks ago, now gone.
