We're leaving sometime Friday morning, probably around 8 or 9, so we won't make it to ride Friday, but we will make it to camp. We're camping Friday and Saturday, riding Saturday and 1/2 day Sunday.

time for a new rim lock trigger.

that's the same thing that was happening to Dave at Paragon last time. he replaced the lock and all was well.

Its brand new. I put it in to stop the torn stems. There is 2 nuts on the stem. do they both go outside the rim or one in and one outside. Is one a jam nut for the othere on the outside?

Sorry, I just didn't have time to set it up. If you sign up for 2 days it's $40 and one day is $25.

Leave the first nut on the stem and throw the other one away. If you put the nut on the stem after it's in the rim and the tire spins, it will rip out the stem. No nut lets the stem slip inside of the rim.

mark the rim and the tire to see if you are still getting slippage. If you are, you might need to add a second lock.

Dave, you didnt answer the question. Does a nut go inside the rim?

I leave one nut on the inside, none on the outside.

Another question. What do you use for lube when mounting the tire?

What Keith said.

I use WD40 for a assembly lube. Once it dries it halps the tire grip the rim better. Soap will do the same thing but I prefer WD40...it smells so nice :)

We can have the discount if everybody has something to prove they are with DRN, like we did last year. They only ask for this because the time before that, other people in line heard us and said they were with DRN for the discount. So if somebody can make up something that everybody can hand in, we can get the discount.

I'm working on this. (Thankd Dan!) Paragon isn't open Tuesdays and Wednesdays so I can't verify everything but if you have your card from last year, bring it. I will print up a bunch more to bring with me.

Last year the discount was only for 1 day ($5 off) and the 2 day rate was the same (which is already discounted for the 2 days). I see if we can get an extra $5 off the 2 day rate.

I won't know until Thurdays so keep checking back.

If someone said they were coming and now aren't, please post. I promise not to call you a Sally or Nancy...or even WoodsRider!!! :laugh:
