Jeff, no picture of that satellite dish you call a rear cog?

I am still running the 22 out back just now with the 34 up front... Heading out to see how it turns this afternoon...



a little better picture then in the garage.... Had the chance to run her up to Cocktail this evening and all I can say is wow... I wish I had gone with this fork in the beginning. Feels better then the first set of Shocks I bought for my steel GT back in the late 80's/early 90's... No need for the reba here, I am a happy camper. I highly recomend the PACE Carbon fork it takes all of the harshness out of the ft end while keeping it extemely light and efficient I cleaned parts of the rock gardens that I never have before

I bet cha it works pretty much the same and if I am not mistaken the weight of the 2 is only differs by about 20 grams... You gonna be happy when you get...

Let's ride

I know that you originally wanted nothing to do with the "rigid" fork thing, but how long does it really take to swap forks for rides... That is a pretty sexy looking MOFO... If you think the SS is like old days riding BMX bikes wait until you put the fork on it... every bit of energy goes from pedal to rear tire not to mention the weight savings....


Be Nike..... Just do it...
