Finally some good news regarding the mountain bike. After over a year of slowly replacing broken and older parts, it looks like an end is finally in sight.

Long story short, I broke several parts, as well as my right hand, up at Downieville a couple summers ago. I could still ride the bike, but it was frustrating not being able to ride as hard as I wanted while dealing with things like a loose rear derailleur, shitty brakes, broken pedals and faulty shifters. I've been spending some time on the road bike, but that just doesn't get my trail fix in. And a few months ago, after replacing several parts on it, I noticed a crack in the frame. I had been searching for a replacement part for that section (the chainstay swingarm) online, but I hadn't found anything, so I finally decided to take it in. And this is what I learned.

Trailhead Cycles in San Jose is the best shop I have ever been to in the South Bay. He looked at the bike, called Specialized, and even though they didn't have that part, he searched and searched and finally found something that will work.

So, soon, I will be back out.

Only a few more parts to go and it will be good as new!



In other news: I caught a movie on IFC (god damnit I love that channel) called "Before the Music Dies". It's about the music industry and how it is destroying creativity and originality. I read that in the description on Dish Network, and thought, No shit, really? But after watching it, I fell in love with the ideas behind it. Every musician out there needs to see this movie. The interviews are amazing, and the pop song they create, as well as showing exactly how they created it, was mind blowing. I knew this was the case in the industry, but to see it actually being played out, as well as to hear former higher-up major label executives tell what goes on, well, its amazing.

If you are a musician that likes in any way new, creative, innovative ideas and are sick of the mainstream bullshit non-talent artists hogging up the radio and T.V. check this out. GREAT movie.
