Monday A.M. Post

F! Check this out...

Advanatagerip

Got a small rip in the sidewall of a Maxxis Advantage. F! These have been my fave tires all year. I can't risk tearing if furthur in the race with all the rocks at 7 Springs though, so it looks like no ADvantage(s) for me. DOH!

Getting ready for a week of rain brought on by Katrina. Thursday through the weekend looks good though, so hopefully the course will dry out a bit. It shouldn't be too bad except for the new sections of trial they cut.

Extreme taper week begins today to. 2 to 3 rides, most likely on trainer do to weather.

Later.

That sucks. I have some tubeless tires coming from Specialized. They should get here tomorrow. Did you flat any last year? I'm thinking of running at least the rear tubeless with a tube in it for added protection in the rock nursery. Mainly because that's the way it is now and I'm too lazy to take the tube out. hahahehehaha

Didn't flat in race but I had a hellish pinch flat pre riding a couple weeks ago. Highly recomend upping the pressure for the rocks if you're not running tubeless.
