Jet9 has Landed
I finally finished the Jet9 build last night (minus one IS mount for the rear brake). I was ecstatic when I hung it on the scale with no pedals and saw 24 pounds, 7 oz, though with pedals on it came in at a hair over 25 pounds
No worries, though- today or tomorrow, FedEx will be delivering a set of Eggbeater 2ti pedals, which I’ll immediately rebuild with a set of Wade Industries ti spindles. So, hopefully that will drop the weight back down under 25. Fingers crossed ;)
Of course, I haven’t been able to ride it other than up & down the street a couple of times because the local trails are soaked right now. I might try to swing an early week trip to Syllamo next weekend, though.
Enjoy:
impressive…..

Crank Honors Finalist
Congratulations…..Brick House Racing has been nominated into the voting round of the Crank Honors (Mountain Bike Category).
The nominations round of Crank was held so that we could select the top 5 blogs to be in for the voting in each category. This way we were able to provide contenders who were selected by cycling blog fans and peers. We felt this opened up the possibility of all cycling blogs to be in for the running, and put all blogs on a pretty equal playing field.
Voting will take place from now until June 6th…..have your fans cast their vote at:

You might be a weight weenie if….. you own your own bike scale.

I SURE hope that’s not the Niner model that had the recall last week?
Nice build!
