	The 6 Hours of Warrior Creek did not sell out in minutes this year. There are still spots AND the price goes up TOMORROW. Get in while you can. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	They are giving you one more chance to reconsider...

	32/18 and done. Thought about seeing if you wanted to do a duo SS but I'm too cheap. That's a lot of coin for 3 hrs of racing.

	I run 32/18 for duo, but gear down to 19 for solo or wet conditions.

	But you need more than one lap doe Rather have 6 slower laps than the one fastest instead of 5 fast laps I FORGOT I HATE LAP RACES

	Ive done that race a few times on the SS. I prefer the 19 over an 18. Lots of sneaky climbing where the 19 helps, especially on the later laps. Not a lot of flat where the 18 would give you an advantage. My unsolicited opinion.

	Is a bike switch allowed by the rules in later laps?

	I dont think theres a rule against it, but I'm not 100% sure There was a thread on it somewhere on here a few years back. The was some debate as to the "ethics" of it. Its still a single speed, you're still the engine. I have a buddy who switched the cog from a 19 to a 20 during the race. Had a spare wheel set up in case he wanted to do it so it was a fast change.
