I headed over to Sun yesterday to visit Russell and pick up some some hand-built wheels he made for a couple of project bikes we have going at the shop. He did a sweet job using some Surly Single Speed hubs I brought in. I got a set of 29’ers with Sun Rhino Lite hoops, a set of Venus 700c wheels and a set of Equalizer 27s for my new 26-inch Single Speed MTB.

Smitty Ride 01-04-10
It was a solid Jens Factor 3 day in Milwaukee today. 20-degrees and 10mph wind. I rode my Smitty and felt pretty good on the 11.5 mile, hour long ride.
My clothing choices worked well. I was warm for the entire ride except for my toes which got a bit cold in the last 10 minutes or so. Today I tried a thin wool sock with a Polarfleece sock over the outside. I think it may just have been that my toes were kinda stuffed into the Columbia Bugaboos. I am going back to a single, thick wool sock for the next ride.
