phil it up.

did your face just fall off?  because mine did when travis tossed this at me.  yes, it’s a phil wood SLR cog, and lighter than anything I’ve ever felt before, in terms of cogs.  the eai gold medal cog I had on my pista concept was NOTHING compared to this.  the quality, the weight, everything.  the fact it’s forged and hand polished, there is no doubt in my mind this cog is going to just spin up like a wind up toy.  I can’t begin to imagine how ridiculously light and fast this wheelset is going to be.

while I was at freewheel, dustin threw something at me from the back of the shop.  a continental tire they want me to test out, called the supersport.  it’s a wirebead clincher that’s foldable, with LOTS of rubber.

now I have to run to the shop and get a spare tube before heading out for a paradise loop.  maybe just 1 loop today, followed by twin peaks.  or maybe I’ll stick to the usual 2.  we’ll see how I feel when I get out there today.
