Thanks Evan. I do have a redshift stem on there also and will likely go with the carbon wheels.

I have two wheel sets on hand that could be a great upgrade for my wife's gravel bike. Weight is really close to the same for both.

Word was that it was somebody with a dog. The bear attacked the dog but no word on whether the dog made it. Cemetery bypass was closed for a few days so we ended up riding montane/carpal tunnel area...

I've got a dt swiss E1900 with XD driver that I'd love to sell. Used sparingly as a backup while my hub on my main wheel for replaced.

I'll take them and pay shipping + beer if you are willing. No worries if not.

Wow. No mention of the blue toque? Is it still there?

Also, thanks for the info. Some of those trails will work perfect and some of the restaurants weren't on my radar!

Heading to Fernie this weekend for a quick weekend away from the kids. Does anybody know which trails are rideable currently?

Finally got the first of the four built. Shakedown ride on Saturday was great. Felt fast and efficient.

Thanks a ton for the bars and grips, Dan. That was really generous. Sorry for the (possible) trouble with the neighbors!

I'm just joking about the AQS. Like you (well probably not to your level of expertise) I use it for all kinds of stuff.

That's a great idea, thanks! (Though I'm surprised you didn't suggest aquaseal?!) ;-)

Hmmm... I'm interested. Lets talk next week. I'm out of town Monday and Tuesday, back on Wednesday.

I'll take them. Pick up in SLC on Monday? Or shipping if not. I'll be gone Tuesday morning.

I love this. Wanted to get my wife to do this also. For a variety of reasons it didn't make sense - but I always thought that if we lived in town that this would be perfect!

Nice build Dee.

Any interest in getting rid of more of that pink tape?

Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Ah... Thanks for mentioning both the bar tape and the tow-whee. We use(d) both also!
