Going Long and Hard.

[Steve Vai]

I haven't put on socks or underwear in 2 weeks.

Damn dude. I don’t know where I missed the rib issue. Hoping this turns around quick for you. Looking forward to bumping into you at UnPaved.

I put this on my bars for instances when the pain goes up to death con whatever but relative to mostly everything life throws at you.

 

[Steve Vai]

Thanks. I'm pretty sure my base fitness is at a point that I can do this ride without skipping a beat. More concerned about losing the gains from killing myself on the fixie for Iron Cross.

 

[Steve Vai]

Here's a dumb idea I came up with because I can't ride yet...As a hint, I only own 1 PF30 bike.

 

[Steve Vai]

Hint #2 should make it easier...

I was just about to say those bolts look really long, like fatbike BB width.

 

[Dave Taylor]

SS fatboy? Been there done that.

SS fatboy? Been there done that.

But not like this...

And yes, I rode this bike SS for years with a tensioner and it sucked balls.

Unless those rims are Ti how is that an upgrade? Aluminium is for peasants for heavens sake. ?

Mine was super fun/reliable. No power meter on my off-road bikes though.

True story. Surly is blowing these rims out at 50% off so I bought a pair to lace onto my spare I9s as a Trail/Summer/Short Track/SS wheelset.

I'm actually considering building the 100mm HEDs as my Winter set as they will only be ridden in Snow or Gravel. Not a weight weenie but they're 400 grams per rim lighter than the Nexties I was running. That would put my bike at 20 pounds with 5" tires. Also, I NEED the new Hydras!!

-1 for peasant metal and power meter adds weight.

Why have a Power Meter if you don't use one on your race bike? Training Data is basically worthless without race day confirmation...

Putting on socks with cracked ribs is the worst shit on earth.

Not great, but worst is sneezing.

XX1 Dub Quarq lighter than Race Face Next SL crank.

The most painful thing I do during the day is drive over the train tracks by my house. 600# Race Springs in a slammed GTI is brutal.
