More time on the Enduro

 Every part of the stock cockpit on the Enduro was weird to me. If I hadn't heard other people complain I don't know that I would have figured out what was wrong quite so fast. I swapped the bars and stem for the BZA 35mm setup from Chromag. I reduced the stem from 60mm to 50mm and the bars grew by 40mm. The extra width is awesome but I think the angles are what makes it feel the best. The grips are the Rethal Kevlar lock-ons. This bike feels like a moto and likes to be ridden like one. I wish I had this bike when I quit riding dirt bikes.
 After watching Lucas put on soft knee guards at the top of every downhill I finally broke down and got a pair. These POC guards disappear while your riding. I wore them for 8 hours and never felt that I had to take them off. POC uses a dough like substance that firms up on impact so they end up with a guard that moves with you until it needs to be tough.   
 Katie and Lucas and I rode PCP this morning. The weather was unbelievable. Lucas uses snakeskin gasses to make him faster.
