It's not all rough & tumble so spinning out occurs but generally there's more rocks then not around these parts. Tight and twisty is also more fun when motoring out of the turns doesn't take so much effort.<BR/><BR/>Different coast, different terrain for sure.<fxdwhlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580920089772180379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411971291954693330.post-64629167372214029482008-03-14T21:17:00.000-07:002008-03-14T21:17:00.000-07:00Ain't no rattle, that's solid.

And duct tape is only temporary unless it works...<BR/><BR/>Dang! 34/18. That really illustrates the regional differences. The trails here are swoopy and sandy for the most part. Just right to keep momentum and roll, roll, roll.

Maybe a little duct tape or a shoelace could cut the rattle!<BR/><BR/>Gearing wise I'm pushing 42x16 (70.2) with a crosscheck on the road and 34x18 (50.5) with a karate monkey on the dirt. Big climbs around my parts are a couple of hundred feet at a shot but they tend to be fairly steep. Roots, rocks, and logs require the low dirt gear as momentum fxdwhlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580920089772180379noreply@blogger.com
