opps, Stainless steal hubs on the FLY. Good luck with the ST. Mine lasted 3-4 rides last year on the rear. Then the side knobs started to rip off. The SRY has lasted a lot better so far. I think Im going back to 60D for general riding and will stick the SRY on the front for Fernie and Whistler.

Nice to hear about the huge road gap. Merry X-Mas.
