Disc Brake F-Bomb

Did a short 1:10 spin around Boyce on the Salsa tonight. Got home and prepped the Honda Element for the trip to Coburn, PA and the Wilderness 101. Then I put fresh tubes in the Maxxis Advantages. Looked at my rear Hope Mono Mini and the pads are WAY down. So I figured I'd swap out the pads. Got the pads out, went to install the new pads and they're the WRONG ones... SHIT!!! So I put the old ones back in and NOW the calipers are ephed up. SHIT! So I work off and on all freaking night. Think I have it. Gonna take for a short spin tomorrow and double check. If not. Looks like 101 miles, 9 hours on a freaking hard tail. SHIT! Oh well what I lose on the decents I'll make up for on the acents. But maybe not Hope to take the Salsa. Gotta get some sleep. No post til Sunday most likely. Need to work on my mechanical skills....Where's Tom when I need him?? MONTANA!!!

Later.
