Mullet

 

Sweet. Hard to tell in the pics. I have a 29" Carbon stumpy, no motor - hahahahaha. I love that bike, so light!!

Same as my Cannondale mullet though. Small. Still 49 pounds with big battery.

What is the weight on the stumpy e? Beautiful.........and I look at yours and think I should have bought THAT!!

 

My Levo weighs 50lbs. I also have a SC Tallboy that’s just under 30lbs.

 

You guys ever roll through a massive pile of crap while trail riding, dog, horse, deer, bear…., whatever, this was a first for me.
I think it was a horse (I’ve seen people riding sometimes) because I had to take my bike to a car spray and wash after my ride. It was everywhere and was glued to my tires like melted cheese.
Thank goodness I have a fender flare on my rear wheel, it was packed underneath.

 

How does the old saying go?

 

Ewwwwe...........POOP.

 

Yep. Horse and dog crap. Dog crap annoys me more because it’s indicative of a shitbag owner who would leave dog crap in the middle of a trail. Horse crap sucks to hit but it’s generally more ‘organic’ and the rider may not have any clue when it’s being dispersed onto the trail but it is usually dead center and not an insignificant pile.

 

Not crap but the clay mud in Utah "mud" season can get pretty caked on and damaging and really annoying to remove. Hate the stuff. Always a gamble riding in warm winter days.

 

that looks more like dog, I’m with above horse usually sticks less but yes dog is absolutely a huge pet peeve of mine

 

Little sister’s turn for a new ride, ready for the start of an exciting NICA career!
Same bike as her sisters, just a couple years newer!

 

My FatCAAD takes up my 6ft bed, but there's room for some of my others, too.

 

Pnw still make the best dropper lever or is there anything fancier out there I should be shopping for while I piece together the new bike over the next 2 months?

Also, has anyone sent a build sheet to Better bolts for them to put together a fancy bolt kit?

 

I’m a big fan of the PNW dropper lever! I’m sure some others make good ones also, but PNW is my preference.

 

love my wolf tooth. Original one. I like WT then PNW then any of the good brand name like bike yoke or one up.
But for the price the OG wolf tooth is better than the “new and more expensive PNW”

 

I have the WT on all my bikes and they work flawlessly, doesn't mean they're the best, just what I prefer.

I also replaced every bolt on my SPUR with Better Bolt oil slick. I did not order the kit I ordered bits over a few weeks until I got them all. I don't know why I did it that way I just did. I think they ask for several pic's of the bike (to get the correct bolts for all the parts))and they put it together for you.

If ya have the coin to blow, do it. I did it just for aesthetics and I think I saved 19gr over the whole process, lol.

 

Yea, you can send them pics or a build sheet and then they can piece together a kit for you. I'm doing it for the aesthetics as well - oil slick FTW.

 

I had the Wolftooth on my last bike, it was fine, I was indifferent to it basically. Just looking to switch things up a bit for this bike.

i have the gen 1 pwn components lever. love that lever, hasn't given me a lick of trouble.
there isn't much for me to "upgrade" to gen 2 just yet. but i'll be sticking to these levers for now. don't have much reason to try anything else.

 

Not sure about others but the WT Re-mote has a replaceable/semi-sacrificial upon hard impact pivot mechanism that can be swapped out in seconds and costs $5. A lot for a tiny piece of plastic but way cheaper than a new lever.
