Yep, pretty interesting process to watch. Hard to believe an expanding material can pick up the entire back corner of my house 2" w/zero mechanical help. They just did 5 or 6 about 3/4" holes about 2' in from the back exterior wall. In/Out in under 4 hours. $1000/hr...I'm in the wrong racket!

First off properly set up, those Paul Neo-retro brakes will offer more than adequate braking power. And I have no reason to believe that they will not be set up well.
My take on monster cross is as a do-everything road style bike. Ideal for covering distances on fire roads and the like. Think Excrutiation Exam. RHR, Warda and everything in between.
I imagine that this will replace his Bleriot. But only Anthony can answer that.
It will look better in the back of his Yeti trailer than an outta plce Rivendell.

Hmmmm...do any STI/integrated shifters for drop bars work with mechanical disks? I thought there was the whole difference in cable pull issue. There's no flat bar's on traditional cross so I'm thinking they're stuck w/the old technology which means canti's on those shifters. I've also never seen any hydro cables on a drop bar shifter, but they could be out there I guess.

Kinda my point. Technology has progressed.
Why isn't there? Why do you need drop bars - the course isnt fast enough to get aero? Why can't you ride a mtb on a cyclocross course? It would seem to make sense that you could haul around a nice 29er just as fast as a "cyclocross bike". Just always wondered that.

In general it makes for a nice all-round road style bike.

But rumor has it that they are reconsidering.... But even if they do reconsider, it is tough to make lighter brakes than cantis.
That is not to say that you cannot have a Cx bike with disk brakes, just leave it at home raceday.

I am seriously wearing my new shoes here at work right now.... What more can I do besides do wheelies in the office waiting to get off?
So I ordered a new cassette. Not exactly enough bling to make rain, according to the rest of you.
But just enough for me to be infuriated at the seller for being such a douche. Ordered it on Amazon, figured I'd throw in a bottle of lube just because (running low at home, but not running out anytime soon). The lube was listed as in-stock.
I placed the order a week ago, and it was supposed to ship within 2 days. It still hadn't shipped by Monday, so I emailed the fuckers and they told me it was held up because the lube was back ordered, but should ship by the 12th.... You know guys, you could have just let me know so I could just take the lube off the order?
Anyhow, according to the original shipping information, today was supposed to be the day it arrived, so maybe I was partially responsible for today's rain? We'll see if it rains again whenever the hell I finally get my gear.
Coworker got his new Mach4. It's been raining/ drizzling since. Sucks.
I guess it'll be equestrian trails for a while...
And that was before it got real nasty.
Actually, there's a dirt road on the other side of the creek that'll be better to ride on, and hopefully there won't be any horsies to contend with.
Whoa! Jodyams has taken care of this with a new wheelset and disc brakes on a fully rigid pink singlespeed.pause for reflection
Perhaps we must rethink what is most truly pleasing to the trail gods.
