All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

for a one-off, I'd prob pay someone, but DIY solutions are pretty easy, just of dubious quality until you dial in your process

 

So much cool shit you can do with ano, and most hub companies just do some basic stuff.

Edit: To be fair I9 has an industrial plating line for large batch ano.

 

New bike! I use a tail gate mat and a thule t2 depending on distance.

 

look up “Speed Vision Bikes”. He powder coats and makes custom color hubs for builds.

They seem pretty good so far. They seem to want to corner and go fast.

 

Got my meniscus fixed last year. Was scoped and out the door in hours.
Was literally on my feet next day. "Pedaling" in about 7 days, actually riding in about 2 weeks.
Don't put it off, get it looked at and fixed. Minor tears turn into bigger ones really easily, that's what happened to me. I had minor pain, some limited mobility. Decided to ignore it for a bit. Went off a small jump on my snowboard, and pop. Doc told me it went from minor to 'not-so-minor', should have done it when I first felt it and surgery and rehab would of went easier and faster. Also means he would have removed less material, which means longer working knees.
Knee feels 100% now, no mobility issues, no aches. Get it done man.

 

Yep, you're right. The rekon is the 1 I want.
I've been running the aggressor on the Bronson. It's great rear for the All Mountain rear, but its a little sluggish on climbs

 

Yes they do, cornering speed was very surprising.
They keep wanting to go faster in the corner. Unless it's deep loose rocks/sand

 

Any of you guys selling parts? Looking for a 150mm 29’r fork and 29” wheels with Shimano driver (wide wheels to accept 2.6-2.8” tires). Looking budget but good quality. Alloy rims, Fox 36, Lyrik or similar fork. Will eventually need the brakes, handlebar, dropper, etc but that’s a little down the road.

I have my eye on a couple Pink Bike listings currently…

 

I have a set of TRP Slate-T4 brakes/rotors ill let go for silly cheap.

If Pugga doesn't want, I could be interested!

 

I've got a 160mm Fox Factory 36 Grip2 off of my Arrival as well as an unused PNW 170 dropper.
I've got some Magura MT5's, one good complete brake for the front, and the rear has a good lever and caliper, but would need a new master, unless you're going to Shigura set up. The Levers on these are the nice HC.

 

I’ve got an Anvil alloy handlebar with Sensus Lite grips that came stock on my Spire. 35mm bore, 30mm rise, 800 width. Mounted, not ridden.
Also have an alloy Renthal Fat Bar in gold. 35mm bore, 30mm rise, 800 width with DMR DeathGrip grips in Snow Camo. Mounted, not ridden.
Would let both go for free. Just pay shipping. Can include the grips, or just the bars themselves.

 

I may take you up on the dropper, let me get the frame and see what size i really need. I should have the frame in a couple days!

Ooh, stand by, let me measure the rise i have currently. Make sure that won't put the front too high. This frame has a tall stack.

I ended up biting on a new old stock Lyrik Ultimate i stumbled on. Game on!

 

If you aren't tied to Maxxis, the Specialized Ground Control Grid T7 is leaps and bounds better than the Rekon and beats out Schwalbe's newer Wicked Will as well. They are seriously impressive tires for the reasonable weight, durability, rolling resistance, and price.

 

The new Spot Ryve 115 that will carry me through the season and BC Bike Race!

 

what you want for the fox 36? A guy who bought my frame is looking for a fork

 

I'd say $600 shipped if he covers the PP fees.
I think the cheapest grip2, 44mm offset, factory 36 I saw on PB was $650.

There are others on there cheaper, but they're either 51mm offset or Fit4 dampener.
