I was thinking that was it.

I know enough to be dangerous to myself.

I had Dave set up my 1125 suspension for novice canyon carving. He did it for 20 bucks and in less then 5 minutes. It was an amazing difference from what it was. He's the man.

I liked the comercial power ones but also wore them out quite quickly(on my triumph) I also tried the new supersports they have out and didn't like them. It seems to be they have an odd profile and offered very little feedback.

I've been running Pirelli drc's at the track( I'm not that fast) but I like the way they feel. They seem to slide just right!

I'll put a word in for the Bridgstone Slicks. The YCX soft and YCY med front are just fantastic. Incredible wear for such a soft, grippy tire. The YCX soft rear, is also great, but perhaps not quite as phenomenal as the front. They do not make a 200, so that is a bit of a compromise, but I have to say that I have not noticed any significant difference. But both these tires wear unbelievably.
I'm going to be running them back to back with the UK Dunlops next weekend to make a final decision for the remainder of the year. I am leaning to Bridgstone due to lower cost and longer wear, but if the Dunlops get me under the 1:26 mark at big Willow, well...

On the Showa rear is the red bolt head an adjuster? Or just the screw in the middle of it.

Am thinking high/low speed compression adjusters.

Thanks

The Showa does not have high and low speed adjustments. The red outer nut is for aesthetics. The center screw is the adjuster.

Figured that, but thought I ask before unscrewing Something that might be important.

Are you racing summit in sept.?

Yes, I'll race the Solo on Sat and A-SB, F1, HWT and SSB on Sunday.

Having never been to Summit I'm looking forward to you showing me the way around. Just be gentle on me.

I was tempted to run a solo. Think it's something I'm going to do next year.

We're going up saturday morning, and figured I watch them on Saturday.
