You know I can't count... 36rim and 32hub

You know I can't count... 36rim and 32hub

32 holes and 72 points of engagement make for an inherently unbalanced hub…

 

[Paul H]

Sounds like 72t... not that I would know

Holy smokes batman!

Is the rear holding air?

Is the rear holding air?

Didn't put any sealant in there yet.
Just wanted to if it will mount.
Not to mention.. totally forgot to check lol

 

[Paul H]

Is the rear holding air?

Checked the tire and lost all air but bead is holding. Pumped it back up with a floor pump. You can hear there is a leak. Hopefully sealant will take care of that.
Will report back after injecting some sealant in there.

Ok... Axum is pretty much done.
Just gotta bleed the dropper.
I might need to replace the SID with the Reba. I guess SID was not meant for plus tires because I only have like.... 3mm of tire clearance.

The stock rear tire (on RF ARC35) is holding air just fine. The sealant took care of the leak. Front tire (on Sunringle Duroc 40), however, I just can't get it to mount. Front is tubed.

It costed me less than $400 after using stuff from the parts bin. That's a win in my book. I didn't say it was a cheap build for nothing.

Can we take this thing to Creek?

Wrong application. This is my cheap winter beater.

 

[Paul H]

Did the math on the Axum build.
Was wrong on less than $400.
$524 was the cost.

You still looking for cranks ? I'm pretty sure Gene saved that GX set up he was selling for you if you still want them.

Yes!

Can we take this thing to Creek?

I'd ride it there.

 

[Paul H]

I'd ride it there.

Only 100 travel and currently running stock tires.
Would be a rough ride that could lead to death.

I didn't say I'd spend all day on it...
