I'm surprised too, kids can be so cruel. There is an awful lot of cable housing there, didn't really notice that last time I saw the bike in person. What is "resort style stuff"? You mean like ski resorts? Downhilling? You keep mentioning it, but I don't quite know what you mean......
Yea, kid can be cruel, like when they beat you up and take your lunch money!
One of the nice things about the Mt. Cycle is that it has "full length cable housing" meaning there is no place where the Derullier, dureailer, oh, hell, shifter cable is not covered in housing, this keeps out dirt and makes cables last a really long time, it looks like a lot o' housing, but it's ok.
I know you are dealing with cable routing on your Bighit and I would guess my front shifter cable could be a bit shorter, but it's ok for now and keeps the front shifting smoothly.
Resort riding in my little world is more specificly Mammoth Mt. in CA, every year my wife and I go for a few days, ride the tram to the top and buggy down all the way, the trails are not as rough as our desert trails. Yea, there are a few technical sections on some of the trails, but for the most part the trails are smooth and/or sandy in the corners.
My Mt. Cycle has a few issues which could all be solved with the application of a nice new Bighit. That, of course would add some new issues in itself, upgrade Jr. T, find a good chainguide, bigger tires, and bingo, Killer bike. You know 'cause you got one.
You know I need to get a new bighit, but you also know that I can't find one in the right size.
Best I can do right now is hope to "Upgrade my Skills" by riding with guys willing to wait for my slow arse and teach me "da mad skills"
By the way, when is the next weekend trip to sunrise?
