    Tales from the Woods

    Ah, today I was out on the Moots, first time this year. Need to check the front suspension although putting it upside down for a few hours prior to the ride seems to have mellowed it a bit. Too much perhaps because I felt it was indeed very responsive - which is good -  but perhaps too much sag to start with. I put in 10psi more air pressure when I was back home , and we'll see what gives next ride. Need to bring the Fox in for maintenance anyways , it has never been in and I do have the bike for 3 years now.
    So, I  took half a day off at work because the weather forecast called for snow/rain in the late afternoon and I wanted to be back by the time things got wet. Trails were still pretty frozen so I took the chance of leaving the Racing Ralphs on , and except for the occasional dew patch where they were sliding all over the place, they performed well. I followed the Dylelandroute, starting at Meerdael forest and looping towards Neerijse and Huldenberg, but I added a couple of nice climbs.. and selected more offroad tracks than the Dyleland itself takes. Some nice climbs made me enjoy the Moots' ability to dig in and climb like a real mountain goat. The temperature was rising during the ride - I started around noon and was back in around 1.50pm - from around freezing towards 2 degrees C. Near the end I couldn't resist the steep footpath I discovered in Sint Joris Weert and I made it, obviously, also with this bike. People sometimes ask me why I prefer an XTR transmission on my bikes and todays' ride once again put forward the exceptional quality of the XTR's shifting. Changing a gear only demands a gentle push or pull, almost a caress, and the gear has already been changed. No noises, not hesitation, just touch the lever and you immediately feel the action. Great stuff, wouldn't be the same without it. Only downsize is the price but the shifters I'm using on the Moots are still going strong and they date from 1999. So the longevity of this gear is also top-notch. New XTR cassette is said to be even stiffer, and a bit lighter, so I'm looking forward to that. Prize in Belgium is a whopping 225€ but I've seen them at 120€ on Chainreaction Cycles.
