Looks much better.
How are the wheels?
You should be running a 43t with the 15t rear. That could be the key to your track happiness.

it was raining like a sonofumbench when I put them on, they seem VERY nice for the 20 seconds I rode them. I will certainly know in a few days, after Bethel. I only have the 39 that came on the bike and the 41 on there. I was pretty happy with the 41/14 setup on the old wheels. We shall see.. They sure do spin forever, I spun the rear and went to lunch and it was still spinning when I returned...  I fib just a little... |

I am heading for Bethel early tomorrow, so I am stuck with what I have this weekend, I will have a few days before CNY to make changes if I need. I will certainly let you know if I need a larger front or if I am pleasantly surprised with the current gears
Thank you |

The "issue" was a poor attempt at humor, like my bike blew up.. actually I was just getting ready for the new frame to arrive.... |

Nick is just pissed that I told him his 3rd straight looked like a 10 & under girls moto.
Here's the story:
1. Nick and I supposed to meet Thursday around 6pm so I can get team tent.
2. I text Nick at 5:30 to find out where to meet. I wait till 6:30 for Nick's return call. I then call Nick and leave him a message. I then text Nick to find out what's going on. He responds that his day is screwed up and he will meet me later around 9pm at my place.
3. 9:15 Nick texts to say he is 35 min away.
4. Nick shows up around 10:05. I am packing my car still.
5. He hands me a pile (36) of tent poles that are unlabeled. I ask him which ones go where. He explains and I try to remember.
6. Nick leaves and I take a marker and put a representing letter for each pole for it's position on the tent. Mind you his figures didn't equal the # of poles.
7. 11pm and I'm just finishing repacking my car with the tent poles after labeling about half of them.
8. Get to bed by 12 and then up at 7 to leave for Woodward.
9. Hit traffic jam in PA that lasts for 35 min. Makes me later than planned.
10. Luckily George Ruth is holding a 30' spot for our 20' tent.
11. Finally get to Woodward at 2pm. Rush to park and unload tent and poles and carry them a 1/2 mile to track. (no bus there at that time)
12. Set up tent, chat with team members and then rush back to grab my bike and gear so I can practice.
13. Practice till 5:30, head back to car and change for dinner.
14. Head to dinner at the cafeteria, which by the way was great food and really cheap. After dinner, head back to set up the sleeping tent.
15. Realize that all "flat ground" spots are pretty much taken, especially in the vicinity of showers and bathrooms, so I set up the tent on the flattest ground I could find.
16. Get it all done and then head off to shower at 8:30. Get into bed and wait for Nick to show at 10:30, so I can explain where we are set up.
17. Saturday a.m. Hear from my girlfriend that Nick made a comment about falling out his tent door due to grade of ground. I laughed.
18. 8:30pm, Nick states he and Ally are sleeping in a camper that night because Ally was sick.
19. 9pm I send text telling Nick he has been evicted from the tent.
For the rest of the story, why don't you ask Nick, because he was the one who was embarrassed from my harassing Sunday afternoon. And probably embarassed from dropping from 3rd to 6th with a squeeze of his brake in his semi on the 3rd straight.
I told him I could have beaten him if I started in the first turn and he started in the 2nd turn.
God this made for a humorous ride home.
See you all at the next race.

Yeah Justin. I would agree that I also need more track time.
I also need to learn how to jump.
