Oh the lowers match it nicely.
Can't wait to see it at wallace.

Bike looks really good. Sprocket's a bit out of place. Argyle still at 100mm? Also I'm impressed at how well your SB8 is holding up...mine is on track to last a paltry 3 months or so.

markbatt (Jun 1, 2009 at 14:16)

The sprocket looks less out of place in real life. The pic makes it look really light. The argyles are still at 100mm, and both tires are almost 100% bald at the center knobs. Haha. I have been holding off buying new tires for too long.

I think I may just accept the weight penalty and go back to Holy Rollers...if they made a 2.0 kevlar version I'd never run another tire. Do you live at home or in residence?

markbatt (Jun 1, 2009 at 14:22)

I wish I could just go to holy rollers but my frame clearance is tight even with a 1.95 inch tire. I have been thinking of going with a Kenda NPJ for the rear, but it seems too slick of a tire for dirt. Specialized and bonterager seem to have some decent offerings as well, but i have to look into them a bit more. Oh, and I live at home.

crs-one (Jun 1, 2009 at 14:30)

Yeah, the Specialized looks good if expensive (i.e not online). I came across some 370g Continentals for $26 each the other day, but that's a step in the wrong direction as far as function goes. I ask because a friend at U of T lives on res, but another friend and I are both staying at home. I figured you'd stay at home, just checking.

where can you buy kenda npj's ive been trying to find some forever

markbatt (Jun 1, 2009 at 18:12)

Im not sure where to get them yet. A few weeks ago I met Matt Macduff, who has been riding an NPJ for a while, and he recommended them to me. If I figure out where to get them I will let you know.

wen you get the orange lowers???

markbatt (Jun 1, 2009 at 18:39)

I had a 318 before my 409, and since the 318 is now bent, I decided to shave off the brake mounts and paint the lowers orange. Then I just swapped the lowers. I finally got around to swapping them this morning.

brycebiking101 (Jun 1, 2009 at 18:39)

props on that haha
