Rode Swanson Sunday but wasn't feeling it. Rode a lap with lead legs and gave up. Hit Tranq later and kept plowing the front end everywhere i went. Playing with tire pressures helped some on the traction issues but felt like someone strapped a 10lb weight on the bars. Gotta find the happy medium between traction and rolling resistance. Think i am going to try the quasi-motos tubeless and see it is any better. I could do the super knee dragging turns on the 29er, just can't do it here. I'm nervous laying it over deep in the turns because i can hear the tires sliding before i can dive in. Might try a longer stem and see if it helps. Really wondering if it is the rigid thing too. Maybe the reba gave me enough bounce in the corners to dig in instead of skipping across the bumps. I hate to mess with it too much. The bike rails the straights, climbs like a scalding monkey on crack and can be flicked around like a bmxer. Maybe i just suck too. Time to grow a set and quit farting around....
