Ok MattB, you warned me!

From 45 mins. down to 30 mins. did the
same loop twice in 1 hour. I was more
aggressive this time since I know the bike
was gonna hold up. I only stopped since
the chain kept popping off (I use an old
rear der. for a chain tensioner). I bought a
Surly-like chain tensioner from eBay to
hopefully alleviate this issue.

3 days in a row now on the SS. So Matt am I
hooked?

Sure sounds like it. Are you finding your thoughts during the day turning to
horizontal dropouts? Do you look at trails differently (thinking: "I could
milk some mo' in that compression to power up that").
It's probably terminal.

Matt (but I still like the FS too!)

I'll stick with my m'fied SS for now. I'll ride
