Lots of Water
The Bianchi’s new tires were almost perfect. The rear tire was slightly too wide for the frame so I had to order a slightly more narrow version. It was totally the shop’s mistake but as always I got to pay for it. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
Broke My Bell
I love the Timber Bell. I’ve had quite a few hikers thank me for the ringing that let’s them know an MTB is headed at them at high speed. I won’t ride without them anymore.
