It was the tires

Just after 8 AM I called a suspension shop in GJ for evaluation and fix. The service wrench took it of a spin and experienced what i was talking about. Several items were on the floor swayed from their upper storage location. He crawled all under it and found everything in fine shape. No suspension issues. There is a Discount Tire shop in GJ, in fact I bought a pair of tires from them back in’10. Our solution was to find the same tire as the front and swap out the new M/S2 tires. They had a pair. Very busy shop made for a wait. Once on I drove around a big block turning and swerving and the van behaved correctly. I drove back to Discount and told the manager of the success and later I called the suspension shop passing on the same news.

That was a good chunk of the day.

I showered @ Golds. I told Kyle of the other Kyle-Transition bike pairs.

I stopped @ OTE in Fruita and learned my lower was in. An empty stand and a time open wrench swapped the lowers. New non knocking fork, new seals, and oil. $25 labor. Back in comfort. The new lower lacks a PUSH stickie so I called them and chatted w/ NickĀ  and asked for a stickie to be mailed to me. On its way. They are still liking my Revelation. He said that a 36mm Fox fork is better tuned right out of the box. My stanchions are 32 which are whimpier than the 36. I wonder what I am missing?

I was outside the store working on my bike when Drew and his wife, Kimila stopped by.

Going over to Suds for a beer and Monday football. Tomorrow I plan on the Butter Knife and Ribbon ride. Today was a rest day in preparation.

Fruita town has a new stickie: WTF. And you know what it means. In Fruita it means: Welcome to Fruita.
