Final Prep for 18 hours-in progress


Today was a rest day, I got to set the Fuel EX up with a new Monarch Shock, but I am waiting for the correct spacers for the Monarch 4.2 that goes on the Top Fuel. It seems that RockShox has tried to go with the same sizing for spacers and bushings that Fox uses. A great thing for converting a bike to Rock Shox, but not so great if you already have older Rock Shox and just assumed that things would fit. But we all know what happens when you Ass-U-Me.
Oh well, the Fuel EX feels good with the Monarch on it, very plush still, firms up nice when the gate is flipped on, but does not truly lock out....a nice feature for a real mountain bike setup. I will get more of a report up on the Top Fuel and the Monarch after a get a ride on it tomorrow as well.
Off to get things packed and ready for the race this weekend.
