New Bike.

Last year I raced the pake as a ss bike and as a pit bike, being a pit bike, I had it geared a little lower(since if You have to go to the pit, you are probably tired of running and it is so late in the race you are cross eyed. The gearing I had on it was 39/19, now its 42/19 which feels great.

Anyways, here is the new "baby" bike for the cx season until I retire my pake from racing again.

Also, I bought one of THESE(click here) We'll see how it works on the bike baby carrier seat, it was $5 at a yard sale place so no big deal if it doesn't work.




Here's the existing hole in my front tire from my ss. It didn't seem that bad, I patched it with an inner tube patch and put a bunch of glue on the outside. When I landed after jumping that log it busted immediately. I told my self 1000 times before the race to just use the bulldog from my focus on the ss for the ss race, then trade back, but nope, had to risk it.

I've got a panaracer tubeless patch kit I'll try out, I'll make sure to put it through some heavy riding/testing to be sure it works, these tires are way to expensive to throw out after 1 cut.
