My legs are finally starting to come back to regular function. My lower back is still a little tender when really trying to crank out a decent pace seated up climbs. I upped the gearing on the 'Fly for this season which is a little early. I just rode Sugar Bottom and it is soft and there are about 2-3 inches deep of pine needles in areas. The 1.89 ratio is definitely high. I am hopefully going to get out to Sylvan this weekend to check out the situation. I also might have to order a 35t chainring for those inbetween gears.
I am really going to improve my singlespeed approach this season. I have been of the set it and forget it contingent for a long time, but it is time to kick that habbit. I just know that for certain courses I am going to need a little smaller or a little bigger. I know what my legs can push, but I need to step it up (or consequently down.) Only got one lap in this morning and I know I'll have to step it down a gear for the old SB during this early season wetness/needleness. I also was craving the rigid fork as well. I'll have to slap that on tomorrow or something. I also need to pick up a more serious spacer kit. I am just running those thin 4.5mm 7spd spacers right now and my cog definitley shifts a little back and forth even thought it is tight. I can hear the chain rubbing due to the torque and it not being super tight.
Yay pictures!
