Adding squish to the Colonel

I put a Maverick SC32 on the Dean.
3.5" of travel in "29er" mode.
New wheel too, 24/7 Maverick thru axle hub laced to a WTB Laser Disc rim.

I have about 6 rides on it, and big news, I don't have to be overly selective on my line choice on the rock and root laden Ft Rock trails.

Only a couple of longish climbs, OK one, that requires the lock out feature, which is mighty handy, as it drops the front end about 1.5-2", great for standing single speed climbing. I tested it at Bear Brook and it worked great.

Action shots soon........

Surly EndoMorph!

It's been a while, but I finally made it out on a "lunch" ride with Daisy today.
The trails were in great shape, and prime for riding.

As this was the first real ride with the Surly EndoMorph 26x3.7" tire mounted to a Surly Large Marge rim, I didn't know what to expect. It really grips the snow, and takes a little bit to get used to, as it just sticks to the snow. At ~12 psi, it is wicked grippy, and spreads out to probably 4" with me sitting down.

Daisy had fun too!
