Nimble 9 came to together nicely with mostly leftover parts. It’s nearly done; SLX 4 pot brakes come Monday and she’ll be ready once the trails dry out.
We’re knee deep in mud season so this won’t see action for a bit.

Nice whip. If that was a Surly it would be diving board blue

And if it were my old Haro, it'd be Carolina Blue.
I wish I had a leftover Lyrik laying around!
Oh yes, new bike day!!! Any guesses?

I believe enough local shops were able to convince WAO to sell frames earlier instead of completes. You must buy the “Rolling Chassis” which includes frame, wheelset, handlebar/stem, Chris King headset. Bummer as I had all WAO parts already including wheelset built up with CX-Rays and silver hubs. I thought I was at least getting new silver hubs as requested but that wasn’t the case.
That thing is sweet!Quote:

Picked up some new kit (endura over short and bib as I need more in rotation) and some Conti tires to try as an alternative to wtbs since I'm bored and have gear Acquisition Syndrome but don't want to spend too much.
That WeAreOne bar is super slick. It’s a pretty cool design with their proprietary stem interface.Quote:

Should be a pretty sturdy light-ish wheel set for my wife’s new Rocky Element.
Speaking of stem, I just mounted a 40mm RF turbine to replace the 50mm aeffect that came stock on my Occam. Hoping to address some reach issues, we'll see how it goes. Took the opportunity to shorten my steer tube, I like to leave it pretty long so I can play with bar height until I hit the sweet spot. Looking back I moved the bars 4 or 5 times in the first 500 miles and haven't touched them in the following 2000 so it was time to make the final cut and tidy up the whole thing.

New gravel/cx wheels got built

nox skyline to 240s. With 28 spokes and brass nipples they came out to 1430g. Hopefully have time to get them taped up and installed tomorrow. Going to put some vittoria terreno zeroes on them for now then will switch to something with a little more tread, and add inserts.
Also got a new garmin. 530 to replace my 510. power button wasn't really working anymore and battery life wasn't so good. Neat to have maps and it's much easier to read, although I kind of liked the touch screen.
Yeah they seem ok. Terreno zeros are more supple than the g-ones. Same width rim, same pressure, still squishier and softer while measuring larger (like 41 vs 38). Might go up to like 41psi in the rear tire

Addendum - also picked up an airshot as the beads were not seating properly on the 2.6 front on a 23mm rim. Works great to seat?Quote:

Yes! I have an e-13 30mm carbon rim, freshly laced to e-13 hub with adapters for 20mm and 15mm boost axles. Asking 200 plus shipping from 83422. Sold the 27.5 bike and don't want to deal with it any more. Leaving town Saturday though.Quote:

I'm guessing the first as it's a revelation from like 2015. Also yes, fucking bike industry.Quote:

Built this up over the winter for pumptrack duty, splurged a bit for used DT 350 wheelset found on local marketplace. Has been pretty fun with good amount of use so far w a paved pumptrack not too far and great fun to ride around hood w kids on as well. Planning backyard track this spring/summer as well

Sick Rob! Can't wait to see it all built up! Which hubs did you get?Quote:

They seem to know what they're doing with the carbon and I'm betting these ride sweet even if they're not revolutionary.
Maybe I'm Weareone crazy but does that say Weareone on the headtube? I don't think so but, sweet ride! Gotta get my pump/jump bike back on the road after exploding the cheapo freewheel on it last summer.Quote:
