Lookin' good, but you need some silver fork decals to match the frame. ;)

Let me guess. Hubs exploded? I have a set of line 40 pros that I feel are probably a ticking timebomb.Quote:

Under 31 is not too bad for a 160/170 with the Zeb, real tires, and inserts, I reckon.
Sweet ride, and impressive weight! I'm barely 1/2 lb lighter with 150/140, a Mezzer, and fake tires with no inserts.
Well, the tires are just EXO+ and not DD, so maybe still a little fake.
No...I broke the front rim crashing (my fault) into a dry creekbed...and the back rim hucking meat. The other shop guys all had issues with the first gen, but none with the second gen which came out summer 2020.Quote:

The hubs have felt awesome for me, but I'm no hub-expert.
That is crazy light for as much bike as that is, especially with all the shit you got strapped to it. My Gnarvana is 34.5, granted with a DD rear tire, coil, and an EDC... but still, all the components are dentist grade.
it really is light. It was weighed with all of that stuff off of it, though.
Those bonty hubs have the last amount of rolling resistance if any hub I've tried and have been fine for me but they have a reputation. Not sure which generation mine are.Quote:

Downhill fork service. That cost a pretty penny. FWIW, the guy said it looked like sand and mud inside. So I guess it was worth it.
Newmen wheels, 200mm discs and a Baron/Kaiser f/r combo.
Going on my Strive, and probably on a new bike after this season.
Don't really trust the Reynolds hubs after last season.

That's a featherweight for that category...Quote:

Built up this quiver killer last Friday.

Bought some flat pedals and a slightly longer stem for Stinky Timmy (the fat bike). I have a new rim ready to be laced up for Leeloo (the trail bike), as soon as I get around to i.e. can find the spokes to do it.
The DUI bars really tie the room together.Quote:

My thought was that you could add clipless pedals to those so you can ride flats or SPDQuote:

Random placement of brake levers
Cross tire up front, mtb tire out back -- mulletastic!
Is there a 3D violet Cook Bros crank mounted on the other side too?

That kinda looks like a ‘tongue in cheek’ build, by a bored shop mechanic trying to go viral on ‘the funny side to bike mechanics’ Facebook page.
Taking the piss would be my guess, but hell, there are freaks out there...
Try harder Rideit. Or maybe, less hard.
Purple crank was added purely for aesthetics because its fucking purple ano. Rear brake line was too short, so we put it on a bar end on the left side so it would reach.
Softride quill stem is indeed mounted in the steerer, atop the other stems.
Friday night, 2 mechanics, 10 beers, 2-ish hours, and the bounty of the weird shit we have here at the Cyclery.

Beautiful joetron, beautiful!
I’m just devastated by the use of a 7400 Dura Ace rear derailleur on that monstrosity. Surely there was a lesser piece laying around the shop
Thats hilarious. A buddy still has a mint og tomac. Thing is shining. Still jas the blown rear hub from year one

We’ve got a more than a handful of these in a drawer.Quote:

Hey, I thought it was some random image on the internet...if I knew you built it, I would have left the comment alone.
Nice work!
Needs a N.O.S. Bassworm or a Rollamajig.
And maybe some Powerstraps?
Haha. I figured as much. I mean, it really was built to amuse bike dorks on the internet and it put our weird little shop on the map for a bunch of folks.
Power straps on the Keo side would have been dope.

Finally pulled the trigger on a new bike (that was shockingly in stock) - 2021 Stumpjumper Comp. Really looking forward to this season, rides super nice.

It'd be interesting to try a back to back test of the smashpot and the secusQuote:

I would as well, but for me the smashpot is the only way to go as with my weight I cannot use the secus due to being over the allowed pressures in the 38. I really could not give a shit as I am a 250 pound monster hence the vanilla guerilla.Quote:
