yeah, the only problem with flipping it, is that there are some scuff marks from the chain, I'll rotate the bash and then put my white/carbon acids back on. it's getting to be the real riding season here...

 My carbon bash is off in the spares tin now. The chain does mash it up pretty bad, didn't think about that haha.

Didn't you know clip in pedals are the cause of all disease in the world?

 I am so back and forth with clipless, somedays they are great, but others they are a huge pain in the ass. I can never decide which i like more. for the most part I am a flats man, partially because I like to go fast enough into tight corners that a foot dap is necessary...

 I just like to always be ready when shit hits the fan and I need to dab or when I want to throw a foot off, whether that's in the air or on a corner moto style. Pedalling is a bore.

 yeah, I put the bash on there, incognito, but I think it looks worse everytime I look at it. I am going to rotate it, I thought it might be neat, but no. The wheels will be red kings on enve carbon rims with black spokes, and red nipples, in a few months. after the holidays are over, and after I finish saving for the downpayment on my house...

 I can really feel the rotational weight of these slowing me down...

 Attaboy. Now you just need to get ride of that pesky front derailleur once you're rollin' carbon.

 haha, I think I will when/if I get a 10spd setup, just get a 30 toof, and then have the big spread... I want to locate the super tiny guide that spesh spec'd on their evo bikes. I like that.

 My buddy has the hardtail stumpy evo, and it has this on it:

 Although, I think you'd need something BB or ISCG cause of the direct mount front d. In hindsight, I have no idea! LoL

 If I ran a xcx, I'd have to modify the mount, thus, I am going to get a weeze guide.

 yeah, it's a lot to take in, I know... from now on, I am going to sand my tire logos off...
