HIT THE BRAKES

So, just getting ready to go and I remembered. I could STOP today. Yes. I could stop in the snow, the wet cold rim/bike cassette sticking snow. What ever gear I was not using in the back would build up with ice and snow preventing use. BUT. I could stop.

I could ALWAYS stop. Effortlessly. WTF. Maybe I need to put these brakes on the Cross bike. Late 90s XTV V-brakes, Ritchey Red pads, QBP Travel Agents and 9.0 ESP levers. Not to discount the braking surface: Sun Rims 0°XC rims.

Having brakes is cool. It took a few seconds of hard grabbing of the brakes on the Croll in Dayville for them to come close to slowing me down. Disc brakes sounded great to me there. But. Then maybe these XTRs would be the way to go!

That's all. Clothes are now dry enough to put on. WhooT! Nothing worse than having to put on wet clothes for the second training session ride home.
