Ok, what are other good options to pair it up front on a hardtail with older xc geo...?


Made sure it was the EXO, I don't mind a few extra grams for the peace of mind .

The Ardent Race is good....but you have to do the work. It is not an automatic tire.

Without going over the top with a Minion, I am currently running the 2.35 Forekaster on the SS and really liking it.

Nope didn't ride today but I did a couple things I haven't done in a while. First I actually started my Jeep and pulled it out of the garage and drove it for the first time in almost 2 years. Fired right up on old gas and purred like a kitten cuzz it's a Jeep and not a Ford:D. Then I actually walked like 5 miles with the wife & dog even though my bikes aren't broken(longest five miles of my life):gag:. Actually enjoyed it besides it's too stinking windy to ride anyways.

I've thought many times about selling her off to fund a new bike but heck no it's cheaper to keep her.

Up in these here Lancaster parts we'd rarely ride if''n we didn't ride in the wind. There's even a Wind Festival up here that runs from 1/1 to 12/31 each year and has T-Shirts:thumbsup:! We do like it when the Santa Anas blow out of the east because most of our climbs are to the west so we get a tail wind:D! Plus the SA's only blow about 16-20 mph instead our usual winds from the west which hit 30-40:eek:! That's why I always go up the pavement at P-12 and wherever possible:cool:!
 
We hiked up Bergen Peak today. Such a bittersweet day. An area we love dearly but may not ride again for, who knows... It's a nice 9-mile round trip to the 9600' summit; cold and breezy today. It was fun to see all the familiar sections in the snow, and people and dogs out getting exercise, including a few MTBs on the lower trails. No bad days. :)

Head wind? Jennifer and I did a road ride once in this kind of wind. I think we were able to go about 5-6 mph into the wind in granny gear on flat ground. It sucked. However going with the wind we were in top gear. That was wonderful.

I actually enjoy riding into a headwind as long as it is coming directly at me. It's really not much different than doing a monster climb on a mtn bike. Hurts so good.

Umm, I was just frustrated and didn't want to go into all my usual lame excuses like making money, lazy, tired, bored, I'm not a robot, I lost my after-work motivation, I gorged on chips and guacamole, it got dark too soon and I don't want to ride in the dark, or waaaaaaahhhhh(!)?

But I rode this morning so it's all good.

Haha! Awesome! :thumbsup:
 
Because it was windy and we went for a family walk this morning and then Nick wanted to make a flame thrower. We recycled a bunch of stuff just sitting in the garage including an old camelbak', some leftover pvc pipe, an old rubber floormat, a 2 liter 7up bottle, leaky faucet supply line and broken hose nozzle.

Damn gopher better watch out now...:mad:
