    Say what you want about the Specialized Hardrock, but it has way better rolling resistance than a fat bike. Unless you're racing in deep snow, the Specialized Hardrock wins!

    Ya ya. I'm not ragging on the type of bike or anything, it's his bike in particular. Augie and I chat on a regular basis and he knows his bike needs some maintenance. I'm trying to get him to buy a new bike so he can sell me the Hardrock dirt cheap =D

    Sometimes I think you guys read way too much in to this stuff.

    Don,
    I was just kidding man. Thanks for giving me some pointers man on my bike. Now I just need a fork, grips, chain ring, new shifters, tires and a neck and I'll be fine. And some new pedals. Forget it! Im gonna race the POS the way it is! lol

    Seriously there is a lot wrong with my bike. Hopefully I can get most of it replaced before the race. Thanks Don.

    Relax, just messing around with you. It's hard to express that you're joking when you live by the golden rule:
