The building of knuckles

Indeed. Trying I decide whether to replace just the bearing or order new chromoly axles and keep these as spares.

That's what I did. Its a nice feeling knowing you have spares just in case. I carry spare fronts with me on the trail as well.

I was buying the fronts for sure. Wasn't planning to do the rears now. But it is just simpler I think. Plus having spare front and rears would be a good thing for this summer. Now I just need to find the best deal.

Not really...hits 100 maybe five to ten days in the summer. The big difference is that even when we hit triple digits, it still cools off to the 60's at night.

In Vegas, it "cools off" to about 90.

Exactly. Plus you can head up to the lake and be 10 degrees cooler in 30 minutes. 👍

Heat island effect from all the infrastructure. Phoenix is the same. In the city there is maybe a 10 degree difference between night and day. Go out into the surrounding desert and its a 30-40 degree difference. The sun is so intense out west though that even a 10 degree swing without the sun makes a big difference, especially if you like to wear darkly colored clothes. Haha

Head up to flagstaff, elevation of 7000 ft, and in 2 hours you drop 30+ degrees. You don't find variations like that in the Midwest. I can drive 5 hours in any direction from Peoria Illinois and have no environmental changes. It's all the same, and it sucks.

LOL! Thanks, but no thanks. I'll take Lake Tahoe and the rest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Some years you can snow ski and water ski on the same day and not drive more than 30 minutes between the two. 7000 feet is 5 minutes from my house. Oh and I can get to the airport in 20 min and be on a plane and go anywhere on the west coast in 2 hours. Yeah, think I'll stay here. ;)

Edit: It snowed last night at my house and will be in the mid 50s today and mid 70s again by Wednesday.

When? I went I high school and middle school there. Graduated HS in 2004 from Flag High and then went to ASU for college.

Sorry for the thread hijack, MTG
