    The 40 does look a little large:lol: I usualy have my seat too low on the bike to use a bike stand. But not anymore:bang:

    The dropouts are set for the slackest head angle.

    The biggest reason I chose saint breaks is availability. I thought I would be able to get parts easy. Wrong!
    Now I have to drive to adrenalin on Thursday. They are going to order the pads.

    First ride went excellent:bang:No mechanical Thanks Chuck:) Pedaled the hill to the water tank, witch I probably should not have done because of poor air conditions. The bike handled breaking bumps well and felt good in the air. It didn't turn quick just because I have the dropouts set on slack head angle. I will try it out W/steeper setting tomorrow. More to come later:)
