as i'm getting ready to load the bike for an early morning jaunt to swatara state park with bw i squeeze the brake lever and the line pops! right out of the lever spraying hydro fluid. really wanted to ride so i load up the trusty gt and roll it old's kool
hadn't ridden the bike much this year except for a little commuting early in the season. took a little while to get comfy on the trail with the steep head angle, no brake modulation and feeling every log in my old bones. the park was a great 10 mi loop of smooth flowy buff singletrack so if you gotta roll the hardtail its the place to be - not making me want to switch back though.
blackbeary wheat does make a great early morning post ride breakfast beer on a beautiful crisp cool autmun morning! :beer:
