Hi all,
For the folks coming from Virginia, if there is a possiblity of a car-pool
please let me know. I can't offer a vehicle as my car only carries one
bike but would be happy to carpool and split the gas costs. I'm flexible
for Friday and would prefer to stay in Frostburg friday nite, but
I wear KDs or sunglasses, or double-lens (no fog) ski goggles in the winter.

Complete bike, that would be great!

The sealant is meant to stay in the tube and stay off of the tire. Jay
is talking of a standard tire-and-tube combination.

I guess I can see why one might not want to put the 2X10 SRAM drivetrain on
