The Chiners have invaded the New Jersey Pine Barrens!

Total of three (that I saw) .057's out there today. Myself and my buddy Marty, and our friend Scott that we passed going the opposite direction.

Ran into CMH out there too. Was a good ride till he and his wife blew me up with their fresh legs (yup that's my excuse  ). I was at mile 18 when they started and by mile 22 I was toast. Took about 3 miles to recover and finished up alright but the damage was done. 

The internal housing is a white plastic tubing. Stiff yet flexible. It will not compress. Shifts great.
There will be a smaller diameter tube in each of the pathways (a little longer and taped in place) to show you which goes were. You do not need to use this to pull your brake hose or shifter cables through. Just pull it out and feed your parts through. Everything feeds through perfect and easy.
Not sure about what Carbon Dude said about feeding the shifter cable from the rear forward. There's a feral on the cable that wont fit through that way. Hydraulic brake hose yes, but not cables.

I have purchased 2 Nitefighter BT40s and they are brilliant. In both definitions of the word.

I got the first one on Amazon for around $65. I wanted to see if I liked it before I got a second and when I saw it on Gearbest for $50 I couldn't resist.

I've done a few rides with one and just one is really enough for night riding but I wanted one on the bar and one on the helmet to really light up the forest. I just received the second and haven't used the combo yet.

It even came with a quality battery.
I highly recommend it.

Is it a Sram or Shimano chain? I am having a similar sound with my XT 2x10 setup. It's the first time in years that I have had a shimano chain and even though its a shimano cassette I really think that if I just swap that for a Sram chain I'll be good to go.

I was going to ask what "hallfamchiro.com" was but then I typed in the address and figured it out .

TAX WRITEOFF!!! 

Yeah we are getting that rain now.

Finally added the finishing touch. And first day out had a guy in the trail parking lot ask for my card. 

I just received my family crest headtube badge, and I am quite pleased. Had it done by InsigniaWorks on Etsy. I just supplied the art file.
It's done with an acid etching process that is quite easy to do. I may even try to do it myself next time.



Also my new rim is on the way. Just had to split the shipping with Peter. Very happy with that!!!

Good stuff. Nice write up. Congrats and thanks for sharing.
