Softride PowerWing

Newest addition to the stable is a Softride Classic but it needs a lot of tweaking. I will be in the hunt for a new fork and threadless headset plus maybe a set of aero 650c's.

Updated 12/05/2008 with Chris King headset and an unknown aero fork badged as a Softride plus a pair of old Specialized tri-spokes. The 56/39 rings are not compatible, it keeps on dropping the chain every time I shift the front gear. Changed the inner ring to a 42 and it works flawlessly. Those 17tooth drop really does not work well.

The plan was to ride this new setup for about 10 miles to shake out the bugs but the weather was nice plus the fit was good so I was really able to generate enough speed to make the initial ride into a 53 miler comfortably. It is a keeper..........
