Thread: post a pic of your ride.

update

Just a quick update, got to ride the stumpy with the 650b wheels/tires. In spite of a slightly higher BB which to me was barely noticeable the bike performed flawlessly. I rode almost the same loop trail on 26" brand new exiwolf tires then switched over to the 650 w/neomotos Roll over was improved, several log piles where no touch where I had some trouble with a few on the 26". Pedal strikes went way down, we have tons of rocks and timing along with a tad more clearance was key. All in all I like it, it give me some flexibility with picking the the wheel/tire combo that will work the best.

^Let us know how that works out for you.

new ride... (well used, but new to me)

laxman's internet pose is so deep now, he uses pictures of other people's bikes, taken by other people, on trails laxman never will ride. that's so sweet, an entire e-persona fabricated from the InterWebToobz. sweet.

it's a good thing it's all faked, laxman. that nose-down saddle would surely cause you some shoulder & trapezius cramping on a long ride -- if you were actually riding!

Here is the hippster rig I have been tinkering with. I should have never been a single speed, especially with those vertical drop-outs. Likely going to get restored to a multi-speed with some vintage cinelli drops and new crank arms, etc. For now, fun to screw around town on.

Chain Slack!!!!!!

commonlaw:

(i) how is your MFA coming?
(ii) where is my latte?

Opted out of the MFA. Now I'm working at Zumiez until that new french cafe wises up and lets me start serving demi-baguettes in a train conductor's hat.

Here is my ride. It is for sale, see my post: [ame="http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=196471"]FS: Santa Cruz Nomad - Teton Gravity Research Forums[/ame]

New to me '06 Ironhorse 7Point. Started at 45#s now down to 39.5, target is somewhere around 35

Been beat to shit by the 13 year old I bought it from off. Never seen a minute of service in a shop. After an initial wipe down I knocked off a pound of purely dirt, most of it in the PACKED handlebars. So far I've:

-Cleaned out and re-greased
--Headset
--Headset Bearings
--BB threads
--Through axles
--Seat tube
--Rear derailleur cogs
-New chain
-Cleaned cassette
-Bled Brakes and replaced pads
-Changed tires and tubes to non DH style

To-do and wish list:
-Replace cassette
-Overhaul hubs
-Replace rims with non-UST style and relace with new, unbent and properly tensioned spokes
-Rebuild fork
-Replace or re-lube suspension bearings
-Strip and repaint
-DER HAMMERSCMIDT
-6 inch rotors with better brakes
