SS 9r

Built up my new single speed 29r mountain bike yesterday that I had sitting in the garage for a month or so.  Its a little crazy ridnig on the street as the gearing is soooo low for the street that to get any speed you have to spin like a hopped-up hamster.  I kept moving my thumb, looking for a shifter to get into a higher gear.  The disc brakes are a bit weak, maybe they need a break-in, but if not, I may try using v-brakes which are lighter anyway.  The first ride was to Umami Burger.. the first real ride should be my loop in Griffith Park.
