I rode the S-works Stumpy at the Specialized press launch this summer. Have to agree the triple mars an otherwise perfect bike. The front shifter is an X.0 and it shifts well. However, again the mismatched shifters look kind of goofy on a $8,000+ bike. The S-works crank with the XX double like on the Epic should have been the call. I can only think they envisioned endurance racers using it and needing the triple when you're completely blown 6 hours in and facing a steep climb.

Other than the triple, the bike rocks. The Epic is still my favorite, but the Stumpy can do it all. However, for sheer fun, the S-works Enduro is hard to beat. Too bad I just got to test and can't afford any of them. Next year will be year 5 on my Carbon Epic. I'll have to settle for a new fork.

With Barry Bonds out of baseball, my hate is still looking for a home.

"If you need a triple to get up the hill, you certainly don’t need Dura-Ace."

Amen.

This picture is much less satisfying than the last. However, in my professional opinion, your arm is looking great and will heal up nicely!

Adam, apparently the Specialized S-works triple crank and XTR front derailleur will work with the XX rear, because that's how it's spec'd. The spec sheet says it's a XX front shifter, but that wouldn't work. Maybe it's an X.0, maybe it's a Shimano. Regardless, it's a disaster.

I didn't think anything but an XX crank would work with XX rear?

I watched that ESPN Colt's special, and I now hate the Irsays. That press conference was one of the best train wrecks in sports history.

I've never watched "The Wire." I've heard it's great. Just never watched it.

Also are you a fan of "The Wire"?

2009-10-15T13:22:22.871-06:00

I will never cheer against the Ravens, but I moved to Colorado long before the Ravens moved back to Baltimore, so the team I identify most with is the Broncos. I know that breaks the hearts of my Baltimore fans, but hey I was without a team growing up and I loved Colorado and everything about that state.

Forrest: For some reason I forgot you grew up in Baltimore. I lived in Maryland when the Colts rolled out, but I was young, and my dad is a Redskins fan, so it didn't really bother me. Still a low blow by Irsay, I'll agree. While moving the Browns out of Cleveland had to be painful for the fans there, I thought the way they were brought into Baltimore was classy. There was just a thing on ESPN about that. My brothers have been to Baltimore for a Colts-Ravens game. The hate was strong.

Kind of like when Utah lost to Oregon. It did not hurt as much because BYU also lost to FSU? Had BYU won the taunting would have been unbearable. As it was we all just went to our respective corners and licked our wounds.

Fan of Boonen, hate hincapie with a passion. Evans should have stuck with mtn biking or gotten into cross. I remember seeing him when he was only a teenager killing the elite field at a Mammoth World Cup in the early 90's, cant say I am a hater of him since he use to be a real big ringer back in the day.

Hate the Colts, the way Irsay rolled out in the middle of the night on the fans of Baltimore was BS and he will never be forgiven. I think that whole incident took years off the lives of some of my uncles and grandfather. Colt hater til I die.

Your arm looks pretty good in comparison to that last butcher shop photo. And I doubt you're a true hater. Seem like too nice a guy.

Regarding triples -- I'm using my old MTB as a commuter rig, it has a triple (not sure of the gearing, other than it's an 8 speed cassette). Even with fully loaded panniers, I have to ride that thing in the big ring and really only have one or two useable gears. Time for singlespeed? Or at least a new cassette. I feel a blog post coming on....
