What have you bought/upgraded today.

[sfotex]

Picked this up tonight. I was holding out for disk brakes, but it was a screaming deal....Campy Chorus, Stages power meter. Carbon wheels...

[climberevan]

That Bianchi is gorgeous! Road disc brakes are overrated unless you're riding in the rain all the time, and your bike is 300+g lighter.

Everyone knows the most important upgrade you can make is a flashy, but inconvenient to install, stem.
Bike Yoke Barkeeper 45 and Beast 25mm riser.

Did I read on here that someone found ZTTO 2.3 mm rotors for stupid cheap?

Well, just the rotors.
I found the Ali site, but they only let me buy 1 for $6.06 cents or something. (Intro price).
After the first one, the price now appears to be more, but still cheap af.

Wish they had 223’s!

I have a few different AliExpress rotors, including some floating ones. They are totally fine! Friends don't let friends buy $60 brake rotors.

But do you have carbon rotors?

Careful buying those rotors unless you want your bike to weigh a lot more

[rideit]

I prefer to slow down more than to weigh less.

no new upgrades/changes on the bike, but yeah I bought a new pair of Harley Davidson boots. Haven't tried them on yet, but I hope they'd be as good as my last boots

Totally pertinent to the conversation, botbro

the one up v3 is awesome. wish i had bought the 200.

the v2 was one of the worst droppers i ever used out of about 7-8 different models i've tried. probably second only to the reverb. never got the love.


that's all i got

[rideit]

I have two V2’s and one v3, and I can’t tell much difference in function so far, perhaps the v3 is easier to activate).
I am buying another v3 though. Tonight I ham-fisted a divot into a new One-up carbon bar, bad enough that I won’t be able to shred without being afraid of snappage. (I accidentally used a bolt that was about 2.5-3mm too long for the dropper clamp, oopsy). Expensive mistake.

decided to try that new Aspen ST tire for a couple XC races coming up, after putting it on and seeing the profile I'm just a wee bit scared to say the least haha

I haven’t ridden the ST, but rode some Aspens for Telluride 100 last year. Surprisingly fun. Wicked fast. I used a Tubolight insert and ran about 18psi. I should sign up for an event to justify putting them back on. Haha.

Running a tubolight as well, and it’s only on the rear so nothing crazy, still have a Rekon on the front for some traction. I don’t mind having little traction in the rear, sliding out a lot can sometimes help with two wheel drifts, or at least in my head it does…

[toastybroski]

Wheels kind of confuse the shit out of me but this seems like a good deal? Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't buy these for my 2018 Rocky Mountain instinct?

Sent you a pm but I think 35mm might be too wide for a trail bike

[sfotex]

Too cheap to say no too. Not sure how much I will use it, but I've always wanted an old school Yeti and a DJ, so I killed two birds with one stone.

[kootenayskier]

Did my first ride today on my new (to me) 2021 Santa Cruz Tallboy. I’ve been looking for a while, and finally found a great deal for one lightly used and tricked out (Shimano XT brakes and drivetrain, We are One rims, Industry 9 hubs, Fox Factory suspension with Grip 2 damper, Fox post, etc.) exactly as I would have done myself. Rode my favourite local loop, and wasn’t disappointed.

Hell yeah. That’s a keeper.

I was eyeballing that thing... Nice pickup.
