I know but I was hoping to "persuade" him to make this one...he joined us before at SJ when his Santa Cruz had gears but had to turn back cuz his buddy had blown up...he'll do it, he just doesn't know it yet:lol:!

No cheating Steve! You bring your 1x9, shift it into #5 in the back and then will duct tape your shifter.

I didn’t read the whole thread but if you are new to SS’ing and going to ride San Juan here is my advise. Wear some comfortable shoes

If I gotta carry the extra weight of the shifter, derailleur, and cassette, I'm making full use of it. Same goes for my seat. If I gotta be standing the whole way up, I ain't going to be happy. And riding my bike has never failed to make me happy.:bang:
Pssst. what's that you got in your pack? Looks like a 34T cassette. What you got that for? Shhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! It's my bailout gear.

Haha, noted. Methinks I'll be much happier once I get above the opening switchbacks. Oh yeah, and a few of those steep ups and switchbacks midway up to cocktail rock. And that other part...I didn’t read the whole thread but if you are new to SS’ing and going to ride San Juan here is my advise. Wear some comfortable shoes
Hmm...

I agree with DZ. For the new SS guys going to do this, better put that saucer on the back or you'll be walking. SJ is not hard, but it's long. I did it in my 34:18 after work with no sleep on the Turkey day SSufferest, so anything is possible. HJ would be just plain brutal for the new guys IMHO #-o. Too close to the VQ, so if I join ya, I may even gear down a bit to a 32:18. Gots to save the knees.

Good point Gene.
Somebody should just start a new thread with a voting poll in it.

well, there's your problem :lol:
seriously- 34:20 on my 26er or 33:21 on my 29er are both just fine for SJT.

Duan, that's up to you guys. Especially the newbie SSpeeders. I'm gonna watch this thread and see what dates and stuff you guys pick. I still need to be fresh for the Counting Coup 3/1 so I won't be killing myself on a sufferfest if it's the weekend before.
