Looks flexy? Does it come in rootbeer?

:lol: I think if I install a couple moar shimz, the flex will go away . . . .

Can it fit 26x3.0 Gazzalodi's?

I also see it has the most advanced, toughest wheelset available, at least for the rear wheel.*




*Truth being, mavic has never made that wheel correctly.

33.5# with the Nevegal DH in back. An extra pound over the regular DTC version, but nice for those "unsmooth" moments. Burly, short, low, slack, supah' fun.

Can't get her to hop up on the 34t:lol: Guess the 1892 Sora wasn't designed for 9spd MTB's:lol:

Also put in a new sealed bottom bracket and a truvative blaze 3 piece crank. I'm running a double front since i never use third and it always seemed to catch when climbing over stuff. I run 22/32 chain rings and i've got an 11-32 cassette. Thinking about going to eight speed casssette and running 11-34 and putting on a deore hydraulic disk back i have on the rear

Now at 32#2oz. and a new MinionDHF rear set up tubeless.

Why the hell didn't I do ghetto tubeless before??? Spent the last two days trying to burp and pop things, with no luck. Stuff that would for sure have pinched my tubed setup. Me likey.

Still love, love, love! the bike!

took some glamour shots today:

So it's not an MTB, but it is the latest addition to my garage...

^^ Thank you for not saying 'stable.' A good addition; I see a cruiser-class rig in my future.

WOW! Looks like you got a good 16" of travel there dminor. :D

Yeah I've never rode in the mud and have no idea what I'm talking about. I never said it would prevent catastrophies like the one pictured. I guess working on my own bikes for many years, racing and winning state championships on a mountain bike means I have no fugin clue what's going on?? So shut your sausage holder.

@robot

Front QR is on the wrong side. Just sayin.

i'm guessing that you don't have alot of experience with hydro brakes, huh?
rotors get hot.
really hot.
you don't wanna touch one when you're taking a wheel off for whatever reason.
also, almost cut the tip of my finger off on a rotor when it was gently spinning and i was removing a rear wheel.

you might wanna tell fuzzy that he runs his qr's on the wrong side, too.
