to take the new shorty six's out for a little ride. some minimal off road testing as it were.

the conditions were pretty crappy. hard mud, mixed with softer mud. the temps have been around thirty to thirty-four. so you are able to guess what i was dealing with. rode over some ice which would have gone up past my rims if it broke. snow-like conditions. slushy.

the bike felt great, and i'm very happy to have it back; but also...the brakes operated like a charm. responsive, yet not too grabby. and no front end vibration. sweet.
