And buy a Glory at the end of the season.
If I can get one for $1k and it’s been maintained and had a shock service... I could justify it. It’s paid for in a season if I was to go once a month/six weeks.

My bike is surprisingly capable enough and the same $1000 only gets me another 10mm of travel... on a fox 36.
I should find an Occam frame and buy all your used stuff that you upgraded.

Slow?
I’d probably only need a crank and wheels with the rate fled buys upgraded bike parts. :lol:

Freeriders shipped today. Surprised they went out so fast. Coming from Cali though so I still think next week.

Guy's said my ramz are definitely not candidates for tubeless. I'll do new ramz next season.

They didn’t align the tire labels properly. Reported for disobedience to bicycle code.
Yup. I noticed that when I got home. I did the front correctly and the dopey kid did the rear backwards.

You’re gonna feel that on the canal paths... but it’ll be a huge difference on the trail.

I should ride my mountain bike sometime. Make mountain bikes great again.

I think I'm going to sell the road bike. So stiff and racy and no reason for it.... I should get something more comfortable. But it's a rocket. IDK.
