So, have gasbag and kaiser gone into hiding until a new AEC has been found? I can picture them holed up in a cave somewhere plotting against the new king already.

Who says it has to be a king? You got the job and a bigger queen I have yet to meet

Any of youse ever had/have one of those funny Tioga Discdrive wheels? Are they any good?

Si

Nope to Disc drivebut DaveDH says they make the greatest sound as you roll along and he wants one so they must be worth having

Haro Mary quite contrary,
How do your big wheels go?
I don't know yet there's too much snow
but once it thaws I'll let you know.

2008 Haro Mary XC 29er. Replaced the cable BB5's with hydraulic Tektro Auriga Comps and put on some old Haro grips. Ready for some large wheel action

Looking forward to seeing what all the 29er fuss is about.

[zigzag]

18". effective TT is 23.6", and didn't really want to go any bigger. Sizing feels fine just sitting on it.
