Trans-America Trail: A Couple Days in Rural Tennessee

[HappyMan]

Sooooo, can I have your front rotors?

They're warped.  Again.

JetDoc, yes, heap big schnitzengruben.

    Looks like EBC's for me.  I'd still be happy to part it out for you..... :roll:

Good luck finding them.  I've been told by suppliers here that they asked EBC about these rotors, and EBC told them they had no plans to produce the rotors.

If you have better luck, please post the news in an '05-'06 rotor thread.

I'm headed to Europe in Feb or March and was thinking about picking something up while I'm there.  Still thinking it over since I don't have to rush but I'm going to need to eventually.

Joking aside, I'm bummed about your breakdown.  Sorry and I hope it didn't ruin the trip.

The regulator issue didn't ruin the trip... it just shortened it.

As for the rotors, I think I'm going to have to order some from across the pond as well.

[HappyMan]

Let me know what you find.  Keep us posted.  I'm not in a rush.

Stetch, thanks for the RR. Sorry it was a shortened trip, but as you said, hotel, internet, friends, beer, it could be a lot worse.

Let us know what the aftermarket parts are that are better than OEM when you get that figured out.

As for tire responses that have been posted here recently...I just went to Tourances after wearing out the Anakees.  I get onto a fair amount of loose gravel here in Colorado and have found the Tourance equal to the Anakees when I air them down, but they seem a good bit slippery-er than the Anakees when they are fully inflated and I choose not to air them down for a short jaunt across some gravel.  I mean they actual scare me compared to the Anakees.  I run 43 PSI rear and 40 front and I weigh in at 240.

Next set - TKC 80's - I don't care if their life is 50% of the Tourance, it's not worth crashing over.
