Well, brought all 3 of my bikes to the bike shop today for a tune up[up]
My Trek road bike had to have the speedo reset and front and back derailleurs adjusted in, my Specialized trail bike needed a new outer chainring (snapped a couple teeth off end of last year) and my rear shock only had 85lbs of air pressure (normal is 140lbs ish) so had that pumped up, and I figured a way to spend another couple hundred on a couple hundred dollar bike '06 specialized P1 (new 20mm hub wheel).
Still need to order the wheel and put on my rigid fork for the P1 park bike. But none the less the weather has changed for the better bikes are all ready to include my Buell so I hope to spend the better portion of the summer on two wheels versus four[cool]
I just picked up a Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5 105 yesterday. I have been running for about 6 1/2 years now and it is time to get off of my feet (no knee or hip problems!). My wife rides a lot and does the MS 150 mile ride. She is always looking for someone to ride with so why not me...
Well decided to sell my 2006 Specialized P1 dirt jumper, Looked and looked but decided I was basically wanting a 20" bike but just so use to Mt. Bikes. So after a quick sale and far price on the P1 I went down and picked up a 2011 DK Effect. Tossed on a pair of Premium Pedals and a half link chain to touch it off.
Road it a little down at the skate park and dang it is an entirely different feel, other than the obvious of the bike being smaller it rips around with the most drastic difference of a rigid fork.
So far the rigid setup is what I need to get use to as I can really feel the hits in my wrists.
Here it is down a buddies boat close to where I ride it.
Buellchick decided to shoot some video, so I will share it, the bike is awesome in the bowl. Smooth, fast, and very agile. Now I just need to get some time on it without 50 kids at the skate park to help tailor myself to the bike or vice versa.
konarider94 and dubbuell are on their way to meet at my place right now. Heading out to the Refuge Bike Park in Fremont, MI. Have not been there yet but heard it is amazing. Bringing my GoPro so if I can figure out how to upload the video I will post any good video I get.
Pegoretti "Great Googoolee Moogoolee." Schweet. I've upgraded the wheels to a set of Ksyrium SSC SEs.
I have a DiamondBack WCF 2.0 MTB in the basement, but I can't tell you when I last rode it. Probably taking it on vacation this year though. May have to put slicks on it. [sad]
