[RBW] Re: 200 miles on 10 bikes, an essentially pointless self-challenge

A while back we talked about the front end of my Niner RLT9. I've settled on that bike being the bike I will use for the Marin Mountains 200k brevet on October 14th. It's going to be ~130 miles with ~35 miles off-road and ~13000ft of climbing. I'm pretty intimidated by those numbers,

With plain paraffin, I was applying it too frequently -- every 100-150 miles, because the chain got very noisy, very quickly. With Speed Wax -- we'll see; I just started using the stuff. Ron says that he gets well over 500 miles before he needs to rewax. Yesterday about 5:30 pm I dragged myself
