Ouch that sucks big time Justin.
I enjoyed my ride with Jeff today but I feel bad I dragged him into a construction zone in Maryland. I will not be doing that route again for a year or so it looks like with the amount of construction it looked like they had planned.
I rarely brush my dogs teeth but I do use a chisel like dental tool I ordered for $20 on Amazon to remove his plaque every once and a while. He's a good sport about it and since cleanings are several hundred bucks around here it has probably saved us 2 grand at this point.
I know but I know his wheels are 9/10/11 speed as all Mavics are (unless you're using the mythical Mavic cassettes). I've used 9 and 10 speed on mine (the bike I shipped to Barbados is 9 speed) and even used to switch back and forth etc.
Why do you want to upgrade to 10 right now? Why not work up to it? Not that I'm the person to ever talk about impulse control with bikes,
I think that bike would look very sexy with a full SRAM Force 22 in a few years.
Nate the other wheels should be 9 speed compatible with a spacer. Mine were/are. I think you should have read my Calfee description and then you would have been less surprised with the ride quality. Smooth but firm.
Nate I am with Juan that you will get used to it quickly but flipping the stem is always an option. Glad you enjoyed the ride. Nothing quite like a Calfee.
Glad you are liking it. So I am going to have to wait for IT to approve windows 8.1 which will likely be a year or so but it looks like I might be able to get one of these on the work network which would be awesome.
After reading about the fan I made a point of looking for it on my wife's one and it took me a while. I honestly had no clue it had one before that.
I have never noticed it turn on on mine but I have not really done anything CPU intensive that I can think of other than installation of software and updates.
Edit: I used it for a few hours yesterday and I could never hear any fan going etc. I'm still getting used to all the gestures etc and need to practice but all in all I am loving the device and OS. In particular the hand writing recognition is very good considering how terrible my hand writing is. I now have to figure out a way to get my work to purchase me one of these or similar.
Jeff, it's a pleasure to have a great riding partner. I really think that soon enough you really will be pushing and maybe even dropping me. If I am only responsible for 5% of the loss that's a honor.
As far as I know they are still meeting their ship dates so you will not be waiting too long.
I have to call Microsoft and cancel my order that will ship in a few weeks. Edit: done!
