Default RR: Fully Loop WUSS Break-in Fiesta

So I broke in the WUSS today at Fully Loop and it was awesome! I climbed pretty well with her, and only had to step off on the steepest parts. It was a little weird riding a hardtail again. It let me climb a little better, but I forgot they are unforgiving on the cranch!! eww sorry. Anyway, I had a great time with Jeff (J_Sims), Curtis (m80kickflip), and husband (ChumbaJason). FL was the perfect ride for the christening and I can't wait to bring her back out!

Nice! Did you change the gearing? if so, to what? I'll be there this Thurs with my SS. I'll see you there. SSing is addicting isn't it? You are now now an official member of the DARK SIDE

YOU WANT TO!!!

Gene, Jason got me a 20 for the rear and left the 32 in the front. It definitely worked well for the climbing, but like you said, I was doing a lot of spinning if I wasn't climbing. I think it works for me for now though.

IMHO, 32:20 is the perfect gear to start out on. That's what I'm running as well. It gets a little old on the flats, but it makes more hills doable.

I just got a new small digital camera, so I brought it to test. The pics are not too great. I'll have to play around with the settings.

Yeah, the ride was good! The big wheel bike was interesting and fun.

Great pics. They might end up on the Chumba web site.

That was a lot of fun. We have to do that every week.
I love the feeling I get blowing b
