Can you mount that rack on the car by yourself without too much time or effort? I am asking because I have the optional Subaru rack with a Thule adapter (which is actually another load bar on top of the optional bar). If I want to mount/demount the roof rack quickly, I have to keep it together. I can just barely do this with out worrying about scratching the paint or breaking off the little doors that cover the mounting bosses in the roof. It is a lot of mass to keep under control as I pivot the far side of the rack onto the mounting bosses on the far side of the roof. If I want to mount the rack with out tearing my shoulders out of the sockets, I need to disassemble/reassemble it. This takes 15-30min and two different wrenches. A torx for the Subaru to Thule adapter, and a hex for the bike rails to load bars. The fasteners are not in ideal locations as the adapters and bike rails are almost on top of each other. This is a PITA. Thank you, Rob

I just had to pay for the new bottom bracket, a 1.5" bottom race and labor. The Gary Fisher was a 2007 model that I bought in August of 07.

I will be ordering a yakima fork mount on the assumption that it will be lighter, lower profile, and more secure from bike theft. Can I ask why you went with the roll on style? Rob |

Bike is currently being repaired/tuned up. Front hub was beat and had a slight wobble too, so that's getting fixed. Finally might get a new front fork since mines been blown out for decades it feels like.
Gonna be riding up at Loon for Columbus day weekend/Oktoberfest! |

Super nice night for a ride in Nam yesterday, not too cold or hot. Now if only all the mosquitos would just die already. Saw a DGM GR STi in the parking lot when we left too. Any of you guys ride nam regularly? Love that place.
