Sis, won't load or is just too long. We all want instant grat, ain't waiting for no 2 hour kazillion meg load. Yo producer make these clips way way shorter. Just keep the otb parts in.

[ebrandel]

Loads just fine for me...
Firefox 2

worked... IE

[bigwheel]

Fine on Linux/Firefox, although I was dizzy after watching it.

Didn't load here at the workplace... Have to try at home.

[RedSquirrel]

Worked fine at Home. I see you've found movie edit features. Looks like the lights we're bright enough this time. Still need camera angled up higher. Looks like fun, jealous.

It is still a new toy and am find what not to do. working on mounts from other places lower than the bars. This should capture more of what is ahead and still get good trail sight. Helmet mount...ehhh ok but there is more outside the norm (standard)to play with..... need time.

Yes found the edit tools on Photo Bucket so that is the first one ever that I have mixed. Need to learn music edit so can cut nicely to film length Anyone have tips or info on that????

Camera needs alot light to maximise the quality of capture too.

I borrowed a Pugs when mara and I rode the river bottoms last Friday. It was a blast. I have to give the tires a C minus on climbing traction though.

Yes. And maybe a D+ on being able to stay on the trail when in snow.

Perhaps, someone that works reasonably close to Surly can ask them to make a snow tire with some meat.

We are all close to Surly....let them know.

I have good hook up on it....far better thant std mtb. Two things you need to know.
1.) tire pressure - more for hard surface and less for soft. Never when I can not flex the tire wall. Rule of thumb - body weight times 5% is the max pressure ( real tire pressure - here is another discussion all together )

2.) learn to ride the conditions - body english and a few other tricks are huge to traction and balance on a PUG especially in soft conditions.

This is tried and true - been proven many times. This explains why I could easily gapped a much stronger ridders and out climbed while both on pugs.... that is until they learned to tune the tires and tune there style.

Surly could add a little meat to the endomorph, but not much cause if you have little trail resistance to hold your tire then it does not matter much at all if you have big knobs or not.
Besides big knobs rut trail very fast. Snow is soft until it turns to ice.

The Endomorphs work well for me, too. Agree tire pressure and riding style make the difference. I have cleaned loose snow climbs on the Pugs that I know I could not with studs. I have found that I have to keep my weight planted on the seat to the rear to finesse up climbs. Even leaning forward on the bars a bit will change the weight distribution enough to blow my grip. Counter-intuitive and takes some "getting used to it" to pull it off.

More meat = more weight and I do not think the added traction would offset the increased rotational weight/rolling resistance for the flats.

Worked at home. Great vid.
