SoCal Fails, Saves, and Highlights

 I thought it didn't but I just checked and there's a little (probably insignificant though) nick! Damn hahaha

 Certainly! And I've gotta get rid of these shitty avid elixir brakes hahaha

 What elixir's are they?

As for a dropper, there's a guy on here with some pretty good prices on KS droppers. Here's a link to the for sale add: www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1391408 Unless you can go internal, then I'd get a reverb.

 Sorry for the late response, they're elixer rsl's. They're really grabby. Not enough power but then all the sudden you lock up. + they're only 160mm rotors lol. My dh rig had 200mm's and I'm riding the same trails Lol. Thanks for the link btw

 No problem. It says they're basically the same thing as the Elixer 7's. I had some 5's on my kona with a 200/180 and they weren't to bad. I'd either go XT or Zee's if you have the money.

 Yeah, I have xt derailleurs so I figure matching xt brakes will be nice. Heard a lot of good things about them. Unfortunately I only have enough money to pay for another month of gas, but I'll probably get a job soon and I'm gonna sell some stuff. My list is new shock, fork/bb service, replace a broken spoke/ true wheel, New brakes+ tires and maybe a dropper. a tall list for a broke high schooler! Oh well hahaha

 I might be able to do the BB service. I just need the tool to take the cups out.

 ? Went over the bars on a rock right in the beginning as well as coming down the steeps in the mud.

 heh. guess I happened to look away!

 Thanks!
