Well I stand corrected. Not very common and I have done research on
most hydraulic discs. The Maguras and Formulas are the best, but a top
o'line set cost more than your frame.
The bike will certainly be fun for rock crawlin!

That reminds me. I've also got a narrow strip of duct tape around the

If the superflashes (and other PB lights) are only used in the rain

superflashes is that t
Once you or Riv has applied Boeshield to the frame, does it have to be

thought I'd ask.

The Ram takes 37s without fenders, and 32s with "normal" fenders. The wooden
