What have you done to your bike today?

Anyone want this? XL Sirrus 2.0. I put a road fork and wheel up front because the stock fork was damaged in shipping. Brand new, never ridden. Except for the front wheel. Otherwise, dumpster.

Looks like the dropper is peasant but the rd is not. Sweet looking ride!👍

Peasant dropper. Pushing the lever and feeling that CABLE is the worst thing I've had to do in my adult life. Also the bars are ALUMINUM.

(shudders in disgust)

Pin me the location of the dumpster on google maps when you throw out the bar and dropper

I'm putting the bar and stem on my Stumpy. That bike needs the front end to be a tiny bit lower.

But... but... aluminum....

Switched Rhino for winter duty tires. The Bud/Lous are massive with 100mm rims.

My child is taking his lady friend mountain biking and she needs a bike. I went through the collection this morning making sure each is ready to go because we all know teenage boys are incapable of airing up tires or lubing a chain 🤣

It took literally years, but it’s finally done. Frankenstein 2022 Kona Honzo ST, geo is similar to the Fugitive, should be fun.

I decided to call it ‘the kashonzo’…

Upgraded to Fox Factory Transfer and Wolftooth KTM limited edition lever.

I've gone over them on the Fat Bike. Not today though, the pile was wet AF.

That's pretty rad

Replaced front brake pads...they are tight, because I mistakenly bought 2.03 thick rotors instead of 1.87 because I didn't pay attention.
The pads DO go in and I can get them on the rotor, but the wheel has a very slight drag. 17 mile ride took care of the slightly tight wheel.
It's fine now. 😛

I made the exact same mistake but I couldn't handle the drag so I got the correct one. When the pads wear down a bit then I'll throw the thicker rotor on and see how that goes. Might be a bad idea but I've had plenty of bad ideas in the past so we'll see.

my drag is very very slight and once I put 17 miles on it there is no drag at all.

Yesterday I tried putting my gravel bike on the trainer to dial in my fit a bit better. Stripped out the mech hanger.

so today at work for the first hour. I drilled out the hanger. Had a longer bolt from my pivot 429 trail. That will now go through the hanger and have a nut outside the hanger . Had to cut off the tapered washer from the old bolt.
