Back In the Saddle


No, not that damned Aerosmith song...I am back in the saddle of a mountain bike again. It also seems that I have (again and again and again) been neglecting the Blog world. New things in life:

  • The kid that I own is 16 months old, walking and talking all sorts of crazy
  • I am in a bowling league on Thursday nights....my average is nothing to rave about
  • I am the proud new owner of a 2008 Specialized S-Works Enduro SL Carbon
I have a few things that I need to "fine tune" on the 'ol S-Works rig, but all in all it is a sweet, sweet rig that will be getting some use before the snow falls. The "list" on the Enduro is going to look something like:

Completely disassemble and overhaul the pivots
Tear down the fork and shock in order to replace the seals, bushings, etc
New cables and jacket
Overhaul the Juicy Ultimate brakes (Juicys are notorious for sticky pistons)
