The Shankhill Butchers Ride 29ers (I think)

Not much going on here bike-wise today, other than cleaning the mud of the Dos Niner from last night's ride and fooling around with the Reba's air pressures. I think I was too low for me, so I upped the positive and the negative and made them even. See how that works.

From mtbr.com: The Panaracer Rampage 29er 2.3

TIRE SIZE: 29 x 2.35/BEAD: Aramid/TPI: 60/WEIGHT: 800g


Not sure if I'll run this one or not. 800 grams per tire. YIKES! As I've said before i think I'm OK with 2.1s. 800 grams is a LOT of rubber. Might be nice for an uber technical course but I'll probably stick with the Maxxis Ignitor 29er or possibly some Kenda Klaw's. But who knows. With me sometimes it just comes down to price.

iTuned some music today- The new Decemberist's cd titled "The Crane Wife" is out today. They're one of my faves. The is their first cd on a Major Lable and they didn't dissapoint. Highlights so far are: "The Perfect Crime", "Shankhill Butchers" and "Yankee Bayonet". If you like your music on a literary tip, you will not be disappointed.

That's it. Hope to get some saddle time tomorrow.

Later.
