electrical tape

either the whole damn field is reading this or my water bottle bolt solution is not my own.

At the start line, no less than a half dozen of the bikes around me had little squares of electrical tape covering the bolt holes.

It

was

awesome

If G-ride hadn't lined up behind Carl "I crash everyone and myself" Ring I would have tried to point it out.

So.

Just to piss G-ride off (not that he needs anything else to get angsty about) it would be wicked cool to see every bike in the field with electrical tape over the bolt holes. (they do make it in different colors too ya know). it will save you a whopping 4-10 grams off the frame weight.

just so you have the name right, Carl Ring did not hit the deck at Quad. G-Ride did, but Carl stayed upright.
The
Whole
Race

just sayin'
and not that it helped his result

well you may have stayed upright but you crashed G-ride AND Soups.

G-ride, well he can deal with it. He knows that around you one of the two of you is going down.

Soups was unprepared for your crash causing aura.

You didn't need to take him out. I was on his wheel when you took him out.

I talked to Soups after the race. He even conceded that he tried to pass me wide in too narrow of a corner. He crashed himself. Not that I'm defensive or anything. I'll have plenty of chances to wipe out into the grass at Catamount.

carl didnt crash me, i crashed me much later. actually, the 3s lined up into the tape with front wheels on the course crashed me.

carl just TRIED to crash me in the start, but I was ready for him and made it through.

i am going to be so far behind everyone at catamount i will be totally safe.

Oh, regarding the fucking tape, I am well aware that everyone does it. It does not make it any less fucking ghetto. Just cause half the field rides around on ghetto jacked up shit with little bits of black tape on their painted bikes, looking like little band aides of kuck, does not make it acceptable.

tighten your shit up. you have a nice bike now.
