He'll be very disappointed he couldn't take you around... he built most of those trails, along with his neighbour (who gave his name to a number of the trails).<BR/><BR/>Ah well - glad you had fun. You should have seen the trails when the guys were in full-on North Shore mode... yiii... scary stuff...fitzskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746644535534385228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246180316461587159.post-14382662908952306962008-07-16T08:38:00.000-04:002008-07-16T08:38:00.000-04:00Fritz, I'm also in the "x-type bearings-suck-ass" ...Fritz, I'm also in the <BR/>"x-type bearings-suck-ass" camp.

Fritz i'll have to get the info for the replacement bearings your getting, they sound reasonable.<BR/>Note, i removed the crank set cleaned and greased , then after a ride the crank is spinning much more freely but i guess i'll have to invest soon Golonghardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430377412744217712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246180316461587159.post-85452828377032105492008-07-15T09:42:00.000-04:002008-07-15T09:42:00.000-04:00Glen said the stuff was grown over... unfortunatel...Glen said the stuff was grown over... unfortunately.<BR/><BR/>As for the bearings, I'm probably going to use enduroforkseals.com replacement non-ceramic bearings at $15/ea. Not only are they better than RF/FSA OEM, but at that price I really don't care if they die every 6 months.fritZmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606205968089539260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246180316461587159.post-52754157410873095972008-07-15T09:04:00.000-04:002008-07-15T09:04:00.000-04:00you should have gotten Glen to take you on some of...you should have gotten Glen to take you on some of the single track that we cut near the town.

We have'm as well.<BR/>After hauling my butt around at the Grand Prix on asphault this past weekend, I took my SS into FP, PL then hit back on the 36 up the 4 to 1.<BR/>FP is pretty messy. The swamp like thing connecting FP, PL, MO is just bug infested!<BR/><BR/>Really gotta do something about that swamp. Maybe this winter I'll haul some lumber in there and build a bridge.<BR/><BR/>PL is Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246180316461587159.post-42927447901571140322008-07-14T14:53:00.000-04:002008-07-14T14:53:00.000-04:00go xtr!go xtr!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
