JM... now maybe I can keep up with you! Who are you trying to kid Gar?! This is my way to train to be able to keep up with you. Train heavy..... Race heavy(since I've gained a little weight)...... By the way, I was able to find that spider for the 952 crank on www.webcyclery.com. And Spot spiderless chainrings are fargen expensive!!! Same price as boone rings!

The flooring of the child compartment absorbs most of the impact. 2 children can fit inside this thing and they both have 5 point harnesses.

how does it attach to your bike? via the right drop out I assume? at least there's no derailleur to get in the way!

I'm not quite sure exactly how yet though. You can ride as long as you're less than 100lbs..... cool thing is that it doubles as a Jogger stroller too!

Same price as boone rings! in about 9 months we'll be riding La Mesa again on SS dude! Maybe we'll do a mass SS ride again... Did you get the XT spider or did you end up with the original XTR spider. Spot chainrings are freakin expensive because they're so rare now and don't even talk to me about Boone rings... $$$ and long wait time unless you are willing to pay a premium from someone that hoarded them... The Spot and Boone rings look so clean though. Like Eno cranks that some people are willing to fork over the $$$.

It's not an original Shimano. The chain ring was a blackspire monoveloce SS.... Yeah I tried getting on Bruce Boone's site and it clearly stated they were not taking orders for Chainrings and cogs..... 'tis a shame..... Looking forward to the next maSS ride at La Mesa

Gary, you talking bout the dude or the trailer? Hehe
Check it out, he's got TWO forks on the keg carrier, while he's running full rigid. Guess it keeps the foam down hehe

Here are some shots from the first few rides with my daughter Alessandra and my nephew Jacobo. You'll notice it's slightly different from the picture I posted above. They've changed the design slightly for this year's model. It's so easy to attach and detach from bike to bike. But you can only attach to rear hubs using quick release skewers. If you are using bolt on rear hubs, you would need an adapter.

Actually it does protect the kids and beer from water splashes and dog attacks. Of course if it's pouring rain it'll go through. Otherwise the mesh does a good job of keeping the unwanted stuff out. The nice thing is that the mesh is removable as well. It just zips right off and you can use the go bug without it.
