The lacing looks great, but since that was June, I'm sure it's been through it since. So, how is that hub holding up?

Didn't go for too long though. I don't think I did any trail damage. I got splashed by a few cars though. The bastards. I rode in the rain yesterday. Didn’t go for too long though.

Yup. You told me so. I believed the sales jock when they told me that Easton has changed! They had problems but fixed them. I'm a moron. Look on the bright side... I get something to get all pissed off about. I get an excuse to send pissed off e-mails to Easton. (Like they care?) And you get something cool to blog about. I haven't learned my lesson completely though. I'm going to build some new wheels in the short term. In the long term I've got my eyes on some super sexy Roval Pave SL wheels. Hahahaha... I am and ever will be a MORON!!!! Frack Easton. Their parents are first cousins! Pete Neener neener you’ve got no weiner.

Protecting trails is definitely a balance. Its sad to see deep ruts after a muddy day. But I think the worse site is the overgrown trail that falls into disuse because there weren't enough people out enjoying it. Encouraging people to take ownership of their local trails will be more productive than beating them away with a broomstick every time a cloud rolls through. Also, if the trail is realy that fragile it probably needs to be rerouted. I live in tucson now, and mud is rare, but in a past life I did a fair amount of trail building and maintnance in central New York. Nice post. Protecting trails is definitely a balance.
