Welcome Back...

Maxxis tires will be back giving me some love in the tire and tube department for my 2006 season. Thanks!

I can't wait to try out some of the new rubber including a 2.1 version of the Ignitor.

Did and hour on the trainer tonight. Pretty easy gears/fast cadence whilst watching stage 16 of the 2003 Tour. It's the stage where Tyler Hamilton wins broken collar bone and all. A great stage in Tour history. Although a bit sullied by the whole doping issue that came about in 04/05 with Phonak.

Great stage win by Tyler and still fun to watch. Can't help but wonder if it's him
or
his twin though. Hmmmm.

Saw the 2006 Fox 100RLT reviewed over at Cyclingnews.com. Man I love these forks. I've used a Rock Shox Judy, SID, ad a Duke- but the '04 and '05 Fox 100s I have are the tits. Especially the 05. Sooooo smoooooth and plush.

I am in no way sponsored by Fox and have paid full or near full cost for both my Fox Forx. Took a chunk out of my wallet but worth every dime. I have heard that since SRAM took over R.S. they've gotten better, so I would never rule out a Reba if I had reason to switch. I have just had some good luck with these forks and admire the quality of them.

That's it. Back to the gym tomorrow for the final weight session of the week. Thankfully.

Later.

I am sponsored by Fox and will agree with you and say that FOX forks are the tits!

f100x is a really nice endurance racing fork, it's amazing really - when i can keep it working. with maybe 500 racing miles it's been back to fox twice. both times they have warrantied service, but not parts (parts were reasonable)...

Man that stink about that fork! I've avoided the ones with the compression lockout just to avoid more parts that could F-up. Good luck with it! JM
