Phil's a jolly good fella

Post by bradf »

Let it be known that Phil (kdxphil) is the epitome of team player. Phil made me the items I needed to complete my USD conversion and keep my original wheel, axle and odo, and it was good, oh was it GOOD! I slapped that baby together and went riding at work, which happens to be a government compound, and it was good! I took on some curbs in the parking lot to feel the fast compression of the midvalve. It is better than I thought. It was like they just passed by under the bike, barely noticeable. I used to do this with the stockers and there was a sharp jolt which would launch the front a little. Not any more. Tomorrow I'm going out to set it up. I'm gunna spank me some whoops!
Once again, this was made possible by Phil's generosity. If there was more people like Phil, well, um, there would be more great people!
