What’s the fattest tire you can fit in that? 25? 28?
I put a Pirelli pero road 26 in there. Plenty of clearance front and rear. 28 would start to get tight.
new drivetrain for the hei hei

seems neat. guess i'm behind the times with the "old" technology but no udh on this frame so can't do the new stuff anyway. Still even using a 10-50 cassette because they were on sale.
Anyone have some spare parts bin disc brakes? Hydro, large (20”) stromer ebike that needs new brakes, looking very cheap.

I bought some discs off Amazon last year for really cheap - supposedly Avid, may or may not be knockoffs, but they've been fine. Something like $20 for two.Quote:

I knew the trance x OEM wheels were heavy, but didn't realize exactly how heavy until fairly recently. To be fair, there's also a DD Maxxis on the trance currently, EXO on the GG.

Nice!
Nice. The smash is a rad bike.
What size did you get? I'm right on the edge between 3 and 4Quote:

It's a 3. I'm 5'11" so squarely in the middle of the 3. One thing worth noting is that the 4 can fit 2 water bottles, the 3 can only fit one.
I’m on a 4 gnarvana and there is a lot of stack height so take that into account. I had 20mm of spacers under a 35mm rise rise bar on an xl sentinel and now have 5mm space under a 20mm rise bar. 6’3” for reference.
GG has/had a friend/family discount code happening last week. Not sure if it's still happening. PM me if interested
Just finished the mullet setup on my gravel bike!

Guy I know picked up a Blur with the new transmission drive train. He said he hit his derailleur way more than normal. Got home and it measures 3/4" lower than his other bike...not sure which other bike because he has like twenty, but he's mostly an xc/road/gravel racer.
So I thought that was interesting since I cracked my Bronson frame right at the hanger point and never bent or broke a hanger or derailleur. Just many dings off the derailleur and the frame gave way.
New linkage bearings…
I've read that the transmission der is huge. Even by 12sp standards.Quote:

It’s a saddle, bro, and a damn good one at that. Same one I have on my road bike. How much, if you don’t mind me asking?
Nice looking stable, also. Ti Fat Chance, IF, old school Trek OCLV, what else? A Lemond?
Yeah, it is a nice saddle. $100 on ksl. looks brand new. Just rode an hour and a half with it, and it just disappeared underneath me. Looking forward to how it feels with a few more miles.
Yeah, i like my little stable.
98 oclv trek 5500, dura ace 9s
97 Indy fab steel deluxe
93 fat chance ti
18 yeti SB6.
The new saddle sits on a recently acquired Serotta Fierté (also a KSL find)
Couple of kids bikes.
Excellent tasteQuote:
