Saturday did not dawn much better. I felt really tired even after sleeping all night really well. I decided to wait and see how I would feel later. After a late lunch, I felt good enough to go shake down a test bike or two for TNI.com. I came back pretty bushed, sweating, and feeling like I'd just done three hours of riding. Meh......
Well, the good news is that I got a lot of wrenching done. Converting tires to tubeless, tuning, setting up a bike, and working on the new to me Vaya. I spent the most time getting stuff and ideas pulled together for the Vaya. It looks like it'll be a 2 X 10 with SRAM shifters and rear derailleur with a Shimano front derailleur and a Shimano 10 speed DynaSys cassette.
I was a bit bummed when the WTB Nanos wouldn't fit the front fork, but I have an idea for some tires that I need to order here this coming week. Another bit should arrive this week, and if I can find the other confounded brake lever, I'll be well on my way to getting this one road worthy.
Just in time too, by the looks of the weather coming......

As a Vaya nut I can't wait to see how your build shapes up!
I think someone suggested these already but if you want a really solid tire the Vee Rubber 12 in 29x1.95 is great. The tread is almost identical to the old Bontrager XR1 but sets up tubeless much easier.

One can never have enough orange bikes ;-)
Airborne Hobgoblin???
@JYB: :>)
... will be interesting to see how you like that Airborne.
@MG: Well, I will tell you that I am not very enamored of the 940gm a piece wire beaded tires and 240gm each tubes. (I bet you know what will happen next there!)
