OK.. so we went to a state park for a picnic today.. I decided to take
my uni to see if I could ride on a few dirt trails as I had never
actually tried it. After airing the tire down a bit, I had some fun
and figured out how to hop over some roots and stuff. I rode till I
was sore and thinking.. I really need to get a better seat.
So on the way out of the park, we drive by 5 or 6 people and they have
real live honest MUNIs! I'm like... whoa.. cool.. so I stop to talk
for a bit. I've never seen a real MUNI up close... much less ever
tried to ride one. They were more than happy to let me test drive one.
Neato! KH24 and QUAX...
So they invite me to come along for some light trail riding.. OK.. what
the heck.. I'm doing OK keeping up then we get to a good downhill.. I
made it through the first half or 2/3 of it and was holding the pedals
back hard going down the hill and hit a root.. it bucked me off... my
ankle took a hit and was sore, but I was still walking on it.. so I
start riding again and it feels weird.... so I let one of the other
guys ride it to make sure it wasn't just my ankle... no such luck... I
bent and twisted the Torker LX hub... oops..... works fine for
cruising around the paved universe but the first time I did anything
remotely extreme, it's done....
Sounds like a good excuse to upgrade
