What have you done to your bike today?

[Jeremy]

@jShort nothing stopping you from throwing a piece of brass shim under the matchmaker (on either the brake lever or shift lever).

*edit* oh whoops, old brakes. I've got an I-spec to SRAM dealie if you want it

*edit edit* it's a LH so it's offset to the left, not right. But I do have a discrete (directly to shifter) clamp for SRAM if you want it.

Thanks. I has all the connections. Problem solvers, wolf Tooth, cheapo Amazon brand. The sram x worked.

They arrived a bit distorted from shipping, but I mounted one of them up with a tube on one of my Ringle Duroc 40 wheels and the beads "popped" under pressure, so I have some hope they'll work tubeless once they tire gets comfortably being "tire shaped" again. Fully inflated, they measure a nice and even 2.5" width, so not too far off the label width.

Update on the tubeless bit.
It's been a few days and I wanted to mount the second tire. And I only have one 27.5 tube. So I pulled the tube out of the first tire mounted - the Kenda bead LOVES the Duroc 40 rim. It was ON there. But fortunately, I was able to pop one side without breaking the bead on the other side. Got the tube out, put some Schwalbe Easy Fit on the valve and the one bead and re-seated it with my Joe Blow Booster. Popped into place quick nicely and seems to be holding air well. Impressive.

Would look sweet to anodize that frame. Not sure if that process really affects the frame though.

I think they'll post it because it's going to be custom. Zero cable stops.

If it hasn’t been said already; Interesting that a non alcohol consuming person buys bike from beer maker
(I only read about reeb now. That’s pretty cool! All dry thread talk... alcohol does inspire creativity and coolness)

I can see @jimvreeland rushing to the phone...

 

[Steve Vai]

Brakes don't use cables.

Lol I said this in his initial post. First straight edge to ride a BeeR. Can’t deny how sick this company is tho. I was looking at the squeeb before I actually priced out my build and it was a no go. Don’t see many used on the market yet...
