Not to get too far off topic but:
I don’t know if you’ve been to Garmish before, but it is a REALLY nice place. Especially when compared to some of the other military "resorts" spread throughout the world. You will enjoy youselves there. BTW, should you crave some American food, there is a Pizza Hut in town there.
I use a High Sierra Soaker 2-Liter pack on all my rides. It has to pockets large enough to carry my wallet, keys, cellphone, and an extra tube, but there is still additional space. It also has a helmet net. All this for $40. I would have liked to buy a Camelback but I’m a stingy bastard. The only problem I’ve had with it is it leaked where the tube meets the bladder, but teflon tape fixed that problem. There are several others that use the same pack around here.
Thanks for the info. I ordered a set of the Comps because it was them or the Race versions as the folding one were gone. I figured with all the large rocks that I ride over here they would be a better bet.
Thanks for the welcome and all the feedback. I meant to post this weekend, but between riding, a bachelor party, and a bunch of other junk I just didn’t have time.
As far as the wheel goes, I had a friend look at it to tell me if it was that bad. It wasn’t, its just warped a little. It looks like it’s wobbling when I ride but most people can’t even notice. Maybe its just my @nal tendencies toward everything I own.
Ugrading the rims is one thing that will be in the books shortly. I had the foresight to buy a bike that already has disc brakes on it so no upgrade needed there. First, I’m getting together all the basic riding equipment a little at a time. A friend and I went to some local trails on Saturday only to have the ride cut short 2 hours in by him getting a flat. So we pushed the bikes back to the trucks and headed to the LBS. His snaffu promted me to buy a mini pump and spare tube. Sometime this week or next I will purchase a mini tool and some riding gloves.
