Hadley rear, Hope front, SARS something or other headset off ebay. Dangerboy levers on Juicy-5. I'd not buy them again. Can't tell a bit of difference at the lever from the stock blades. Still ended up needing new lever blade bushings or to shim the blade to get ride of some slop, and that was new out of the box. Couple little shims fixed that.

I was in California last week visiting family. I took the XC bike and decided to ride a really cool trail that I had not ridden since high school. This trail only sees a handful of bike tires every year, the nearest town of any real significance is 1.5 hours away and doesn't have any stoplights.

Sometimes getting there and back is just as fun. ~80 miles RT of this + WRX = happy DTM

Trailhead

Cool suspension footbridge at the start of the trail

One of several bridges along the trail. They are sketchier then they look in the picture, with high consequences for failure and being alone in bumfuck nowhere I didn't have the balls to ride them.

The camera decided to crap out for most of the ride so I only got one pic of the actual trail, but this pretty much captures it. Perfectly buff, flowy forested single track with some great exposure and river views along the way. The whole thing was basically raked.
