Recent trail pictures, one year later on my Cannondale F4 mountain bike

I owned my bike for over a year and I have enjoyed the trails. Had a few ‘incidents’ which landed me in the E.R., from a badly discloated elbow that swelled up to the size of a grapefruit and almost slicing off my finger, but it is a hobby and adventure that I enjoyed.

I have been able to pack my bike and taken it to Austin, Houston, Huntsville, San Marcos for hours of fun and pain. I doubt I would have been able to fit a 29er (meaning 29 inch wheel as opposed to a 26 inch wheel) in my car. Learned more things about fixing my bike, other than the BMX years, physical limits and thinking 3x before taking that leap of faith as if I was 17yrs old.

Throughout the last twelve months, I have spent more money on the bike than the purchase price. Some were ‘enhancements’, some were done to replace parts that broke/worn out.

  • Fork RockShox Revelation Team 150MM – link
  • Rims Easton Havoc DH WheelSet 32mm
  • Hubs Easton 6 bolt, 28 hole
  • Tires Schwalbe Rocket Ron UST, 26 x 2.1
  • Pedals CrankBrother Candy Clipless
  • Seatpost Thomson Elite, 31.6mm

Here are some pictures I took during the water breaks.

#cnndebate As we compete for more power, do you intend to harvest nuclear power and if you do, what are your plans to dispose spent rods?
