No mountain bike rides this weekend, unfrotudinatously, But, on Friday after work, i gave the Surly its first test up the hill (and down on Sunday). Rode up to my folks place (above the Takahe) on it after work on Friday to collect a car to borrow for the weekend. 1st gear was perfect for the steeper sections of Hackthorne Rd. with 2nd, 3rd AND 4th being used at various stages on the way up. Was a good go.
On Sunday, dropped car off and rode it down. Fun and fast. Brakes could do with a tweak tho for any more prolonged descents. I guess i've gotten so used to disc brakes that rubber on metal just doesnt feel like its going to last or cut the mustard anymore...
