Christmas Wish List
Okay boys. Christmas is upon us and with Christmas comes snow (well..... sometimes) closing most of the quality NM trails. It has become my tradition to use this "downtime" to perform needed/neglected repairs and upgrades to my rides that I selfishly refused to perform during riding season for fear of missing out on the good weather. Please take a moment to reflect on this years wear and tear sustained to your ride and share your thoughts on what you wish to upgrade/repair on your ride for the coming year. Here's mine:
Cannodale 1FG Singlespeed -
1. Repair headshock (out of state repair in NY with Mendoncycle).
2. New woodfoam grips.
Motobecane 600HT (Bikepacking rig)
1. Install already purchased XT 3R Crank.
2. Replace mechanical BB7 160 brakes with 180 Hydraulics
3. New woodfoam grips.
4. Upgrade to XT shifters + cable and housing.
Scott Genius
1. Service Lefty (out of state service in NY with Mendoncycle).
2. Equalizer Rear Shock sent to manufacturer for rebuild.
2. 5 broken/replaced spokes this year on rear wheel dictates need for a new wheel.
4. Brake pads.
5. New cables and housing.

I think a new cane creek DB spring shock for my enduro and a new to me 7"ish travel bike would work quite well. As long as were wishing. Pluss I always look forward to all the vids from all the new gopros right after xmas.

Gorilla glue.
I've had to replace them once, 4 yrs ago. Took some time to clean up my carbon fiber bar, but was manageable.
Absolutely no slippage, ever.

I'd like Santa to bring me a 120 mm Fox fork for my Pivot. 100 mm is ok, but 120 mm... that would be tits!

I wish the Schwalbe Super G tire casing would come out. I am tired of puncturing tires.

That's expensive at $80/$90 a 'pop' for Schwalbe tires too.
ouch.
I bought a set of Hans Dampfs for my Pivot and I swear I can buy car tires cheaper!

I agree, problem is they are such a great tire!
So far I punctured a Fat Albert and a Hans Dampf right in the middle of the tread. Both within weeks of buying them.

Can you repair the tire with something? A patch maybe?

I might have a possible lead for you - requires a background check and security clearance tho.
If you are interested let me know.

That would be fantastic. I don't have clearance now but it would be no problem for me to get.

It's not a sure thing, but your resume will get read.
The minimum requirement is Security+ and they really like folks to have A+ certification as well. Although not required, a Microsoft cert is prefered.
If you are still intrested, I'll drop you a PM with contact info.
Cheers!

At the price of those tires, I'd sew up that puncture with a vein pulled out of my arm. I only buy what's on closeout... my Mother was Scottish.
