What have you bought/upgraded today.

The frame does have a seatstay bridge that the fender connected to, but I think you're right about the seat tube mounting hole being too high. Instead of drilling a new hole in the rear and rotating just the stay, I think I'll take your suggestion to drill a new hole in the front and rotate the whole fender. Thanks!

^^^That looks like the best solution to me. Sweet bike Dan, glad that worked out.

Got to love some unabashed bling!

That fender fix worked perfect, she's finally dialed in.

Similar stuff going on here. Just need to add a few small sections of 3M film. I’m not sure if we’ll keep this for my wife or sell it and get something more budget friendly.

^^^ for a sec here I thought you had sold me a red Stumpy just so you could go buy a blue one and I was impressed by your dedication to a particular frame color

Ha, luckily I’m not very picky when it comes to color. And this one is a size S2.

As mentioned, I got sucked in by the big sale and couldn’t pass up the deals on the components. In hindsight, while the prices seem really good lately, it basically just normal pre-Covid end of year pricing IMO.

Yeah I sort of wonder if we just have selective memory, that being said, def scanning for deals today ��

I went back into the land of the fat for Black Friday. Got a norco Bigfoot and some studded tires. Made the decision I’d rather pedal a bit outside more then pedalling a lot inside over the winter

FYI, cane creek is doing 40% site wide, including eewings. $660 is the cheapest I’ve ever seen them.

Holy shit thanks for the heads up!

I bought mine from REI for $880+tax so $948. Extremely extravagant, I know, but 50th B-day and I was worried about missing out even on that deal. Anyway, hadn't mounted them yet so just returned and purchased direct from Cane Creek. They apparently don't charge tax so saved a cool $290!

Beer's on me if I ever run into ya!

Also just noticed Performance and others are doing them for $750 now.

**Dantheman** · 11-25-2023, 07:33 PM

So, what are you going to spend that $290 on now?

**MarsB** · 11-25-2023, 07:50 PM

H&B, duh.

**carlh** · 11-25-2023, 09:47 PM

Kitsuma coil inbound for my gnarvana. Going to warranty the squelchy x2 then sell it this spring. Looking forward to extra traction. Was like $480 shipping with a spring.

Yeah prolly this. But I’m sure I’ll need some sort of ski shit soon?

**Tailwind** · 11-27-2023, 01:48 PM

Ordered my wife a Revel Ranger. The $4200 price point for a great build was just too good to pass up.

A few longer bikepacking trips on the schedule for 2024 so excited to snag this now.

Nothing exceeds like excess.
Congrats on fifty and these.

**Andeh** · 11-27-2023, 04:15 PM

Congrats on the wings. I justified mine years ago that they'd be a, if not forever, then at least long lasting purchase. I still can't conceive of not using them on future bikes. Durable, light, and look awesome.

The Knolly hardtail with the no good hub standard arrived. It came as a frame and build kit in a box which is great by me because I’m swapping things out but would be a shock to someone expecting the Canyon experience I guess. At least they included a couple little bottles of Stans.

Frame seems nice though.
