Hey guys. I had to make a trip downtown today, so I figured, why not
take the KH24? Right? 😄
Since it snowed here in St. John's last night (and a fair bit, I might
add), it was really my only option, since everyone knows driving is for
wimps.
So off I head, trying to gague the grip I've got, and how deep is too
deep when I'm riding through a drift, and after about two hours playing
around in the stuff, I think I've got a fairly good grip on how it
works.
Other than the fact that I realize how much I love blasting down
slippery trails, whether they be sidewalk or singletrack, today was a
total win. I fell off a lot, but I also figured out how to plough
through deep drifts to get onto the sidewalk on the other side, and
rode down an even bigger set of stairs today. All around, an awesome
ride.
I have one question for any of the maintenance nuts here - how often
should I rotate my splined cranks, and how much should I worry about
snow and salt corroding my parts? I can get a cloth and wipe all the
crud out of the bearing holders and stuff, but is that neccessary? It'd
be cool to hear some of you guys' experiences with snow and how the
parts take it, since I'm still in the 'don't drop it too hard' phase of
ownership with my new kh24.
Cheers, and I hope you guys are making the best of your snow should it
be around,
-Dave
