My new Gearie
Tested out my new Kona King Supreme Geared full suspension bike today! Went to Capitol Forest and rode down the Greenline #6 (LOVE THAT TRAIL!!!) Rockin downhill course.
"Root Boo" (KONA) Took the drops like a "King" :) Rode very smooth, not too bouncy but far more plush than what I am used to. I.E. "Blue Boo" (SINGLE SPEED). I really really dug the bike. STILL Adore my single speed BLUE BOO.
My sweet spouse made a few adjustments to the gears and later changed out my front tire. Love being married to a bike nerd!!
Need to get used to taking the hills though, my instinct is to stand, such as I do on Blue Boo. I started to get the sitting and spinning (no pun intended) thing though.
Made it up the road climb to the Green line without stopping, it was hard and certainly got me rather asthmatic but the Root boo rocked up the hill, just dialed out my fork and set my pro ride to the correct setting and spun away.
Wow, almost sound like a bike nerd for a minute!!! Whew.....now off to surf bike porn.
