Fine, have it your way ...

Channel-locks and a bottle of rotgut whiskey?

I am also up for wisdom teeth soon, it's amazing how long I was able to ignore them.

Yeah, my wife is the same way. She has an older frame and fork and I want to replace it in one batch - the only thing I need is a stack of cash and I am ready to fire!

Fox really is the way to go - you'll see.

Never liked twist-shifters. There are two camps... those that like, and those that hate... I'm in the later category.

Judys are okay, as they're getting the job done for me at the present. But as soon as I can afford a new frame, I'll be jumping on the Fox band wagon... still sticking with 100mm travel though... might go up to 120mm, but no more than that.

I have a NOS 8 speed X-Ray shifter somewhere around here and a Judy SL graveyard! That has to be worth something!
