Stephen from Utah was in town and stopped by for a ride. Just like every other visit, he brought his Sidis and picked one of my bikes from the stable. He chose Surly 1X1 in 650b9er freewheel confuration. I rode the Fisticuff on it's first 35X20 fixie spin.
We didn't make it too far before I tried to skid and my cog spun and lock ring stripped off;-(. I tightened things up best I could and refrained from skidding for the rest of the ride. I tried not to complain about it but an off road fixie ride without skidding is a lot less fun.

Aside from the spin off cog issues the Fixicuff was performing great out there. New tubular chromo crank felt right at home on every log and extra credit opportunity. Trail conditions were 98% great. Mud holes where expected in Belmont, Cascade alternate, and Renegade swamp
A good clip for a 90 minute jaunt and then I drove Stephen to BWI for departing flight.
