Lots of toiling on my part. Lots of help, guidance, and reassurance on RBW's part. My 59cm A.H.H.

As it turns out all the original planners scrapped going due to some ominous weather reports. My buddy and I had no plans to cancel...and headed up for a weekend of either fun riding, or snowed in micro beer drinking. Win win right? I'll let the pictures answer the weather question. Coincidentally it was the same weekend as the Fruita Fat Tire Festival. More the merrier yea. I have ridden the trails there on several occasions, but always on a dedicated suspended MTB. Well I wanted to give the AHH it's first workout, and my friends bike can accept 650b or 700c, so he chose to throw on his 700x42 tired wheelset and we were going to do what we could. That turned out to be everything. MTB festival afoot, there were a fantastic amount of full-sus high end bikes out there. Some really impressive rigs to say the least. Then there was us. Obviously we got some funny looks and lots of comments, but never a negative word. I had the best time riding this weekend out of all my trips. We were moving just as fast if not faster up hill, and hanging with most on the down side. Big drops and hits not withstanding. We rode almost 40 miles in 2 days. 98% of that was technical singletrack. The AHH was flawless. Not one adjustment, tweak, or problem. I was very shocked at how well the 700 tires rolled over and up the rough. My worries about the 59cm frame are gone. Pedal strike was extremely common with a 10" bb height, and almost bucked me off once, but adaptation was the answer for that. Underbiking. Rough riding. Whatever you want to call it...rocks. http://www.flickr.com/photos/42027...@n00/sets/72157623986842368/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
