Asheville boys wanna ride this weekend? All others invited too!

Thought macr0w said there was something going on in Raleigh this weekend?  Did he have the weekend wrong?

Raleigh is a long haul, sadly just can't make it to that one. Not sure when it is though.

Yeah. I know what you mean. That's the way Asheville is for me. You have to carve time out for that trip for sure. I regret that I didn't get up that way enough to see my dad because of that reason.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Keith has a separate site for Trans Jam and its got all the info for Raleigh posted up.

I mean tuffs.

Damn type "O"s. can't type on this damn iPad! I think this thing is correcting my words. Funny. It's "correcting" them.

Crap! I got the date for TransJam mixed up with the bike show in Reidsville this Saturday!

What's that mean JT? If they are on different weekends you can still attend both right?

The Raleigh TransJam is included in what appears to be a local festival/carnival. Take a look at the site for the event itself: http://www.gottobencfestival.com/

Now have a look at this snippet of the schedule for Sunday, 5/20/2012:



I'm not sure about you guys but I'm definitely hitting up the "Garden Tractor and Lawnmower Pull" at the "Walmart Grandstand" from 1 to 7 PM.

"Rocky The Trick Mule"... anything like the Mexico "Donkey Show"?

Those look like they all must be events at the fair grounds though. I think I would be hard to bring bikes if the trans jam is inside dorton arena. It's mostly seats if you've ever been there.

Used to watch (woooo!) ric flair kick some booty in there when I was a kid. They used to have hockey games in there as well pre-hurricanes, the team was the Raleigh IceCaps

Ok. What do guys thing of these? Be honest. But be gental I am the noob!

I put my money where my mouth is on one. Got the chrome with the brake mounts on the forks and a set of pro bars. Just ordered a set of 24" tiffs for it as well.

You should like it, but I never used front brakes, so a front set of mounts would be wasted on me.  I got very close to buying one of those, but then a couple things came up and I ended up not going for it.  As to your rims, I need to take a good inventory to give you an accurate account. I can tell you the pro class are 1.5" laced to low flange sealed Suzue hubs. you'll probably need to re lace them as I think the spokes need some help. I also know I have one blue Ukai, and a few silver 7x Araya hoops.

This isn't even bike related, but look at the tires. I wonder what's on them he's trying to hide with the orange paint?

I'm looking for something to go on this. I don't like the black. So I figured I'd trade out for some blue or silver or chrome components. Aryana's would be fine. The proclass would be good as well. I've never laced rims before, but I'd be willing to try it. Hubs dont matter as much  I can get them. But tru 26" bmx rims seem to be in short supply. I guess I could use mtb rims as a last resort, but.....
