I like it! I think you'll like the couplers! Now I want all my bikes equipped with them.

took it off the road and the rails to trails to do some single track, so I took the thuddy off the x-cal. figured if I got it, why not use it?

we've got a 100 miler coming up in a week, 95% rails to trails, so figured the thuddy would be a welcome relief...

thanks for peekin' in guys.
