new "Hans dampf" 2.6" tires - less chubby than the previous 2.8s. Never heard of these tires so assume they are good for around here.

I hear good things about the new compound. The previous were decent in dry conditions but scary in wet rocks and roots. Very unpredictable but actually makes a good rear tire which all my old HDs and NoNis have been relegated to.They’re slow as balls, but they grip wet rocks n roots great... so not a bad choice this time of year.
Nevermind tomorrow, shock's done.Did the lowers on my forks(both the fuel and the GT) and swapped out the drivetrains. I put the 11 speed on the fuel since I ride that one more and I like the feel of SRAM shifting better. It's amazing how what's not much more than a simple oil change can make a fork feel 1000 times better. I still have to do the air can on the shock, maybe I'll pull it tonight and do that tomorrow at lunch(or tonight since it'll already be off).
Does this mean you are taking the day off tomorrow to ride?Nevermind tomorrow, shock's done.

Funny you should say that...No, but he is taking the rest of the week off to ride
don't forget the dropper post!! gonna miss that onePicked up the below Specialized Pitch hardtail from @RickVaughn last weekend because he was unloading it for a steal. This was an entry-level, $700 complete bike before he got his hands on it and basically upgraded EVERYTHING. I don't need to do much to it to get it to my liking but so far I gave it a nice detailing and swapped the tires for an Ardent front, racing ralph rear combo. Ordered valve stems to convert to tubeless which should be here today. Just needs brakes and it's ready to rip.

yup, just gotta find a remote for it. Bike is rip-able without it though! Thanks for the sweet deal man. If you ever miss her, we can go for a ride together.don't forget the dropper post!! gonna miss that one
$70 for a stupid little lever though? I'm hoping for a used one or thinking about this cheap one which looks almost identical for less than half the price: https://www.amazon.com/Ztto-Dropper...keywords=dropper+remote&qid=1571966918&sr=8-4
