Poor. I feel poor. If had been able to get out from under Harley's bear hug to hold on for 12-18 more months, we would have SPAC'd at $3-4B.
Thanks for the kind words about the bike. The whole team and I are pretty proud of the bikes and the legacy. I'm hoping the guys at Flux can pick up the...
Lol, I miss this place. Between shutting down Alta, COVID hitting, and 4 wrist surgeries in the last 2 years I've been off bikes and motos for too long. Just got back on my (road) bike for the first time on Tuesday, and my wrist seemed okay-ish. Cautiously hopeful I'll be back on the real bike...
That looks like a teeny battery... wouldn't expect much from it. Personally, I'd wait for https://fluxmoto.co/ to bring their production bike to market. It doesn't look like much online, but they're the real deal. I'd hold of on a Stark until they shake out the gremlins.
Haven't logged on to RM in years, but must have felt a disturbance in the force.
Surprised to see that blue bike (the "ST Concept") back in one piece. @jimmydean is that a recent pic, or all the way back from 2017?
I thought Derek (our CTO) had half the parts and Dale (our lead race tech) had...
Me too, fellas, and I appreciate the thoughts. It'll be resurrected someday or someone else will pick up the torch. There's a good chance for Damon to do it with the help of my old cofounder (and still closest of buds), Derek.
Just take them apart and put them back together in a cold, dark container on treasure island.
I suppose I could try pedaling them around? I hear that's a thing. With Alta dead, I finally have time to, you know, recreate and shit.
Forgot about this. It did indeed work. Damper rod does occupy the 1/2" square bore so no ratchet/torque wrench, but the external hex worked fine for me and I assume my wristomer nailed the 3Nm torque spec on retightening.
For future Mezzer owners, some folks just pointed me to this Unior 1670.5/4 and confirmed it works: https://uniorusa.com/products/shimano-cassette-lock-ring-tool?variant=34378794172460¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic
That's awesome. DM'd, thanks!
If that ends up not making sense, I guess the angle grinder works too. I don't know why I was only thinking of drilling out one of the two I have, and not cutting the slot. Duh.
Since I can't find a mezzer thread... has anyone found a cassette tool that works out-of-the-box for taking apart a Mezzer Pro for travel adjustment? I have two park cassette tools (FR-5 and FR-5.2) and neither will fit over the air spring shaft, nor reach the splines with the air spring fully...
PRICE DROP TO $1000
Once upon a time in 2008 it was THE bike and way ahead of it’s time… but not 8 years ahead. Now it is still a very capable enduro bike with 6” of travel F&R, but lots of stuff has passed it by.
Specialized Enduro S-works, medium, brown anodized
Shimano XT 2x9 drivetrain...
Kinda old school but in great shape with fresh seals and oil. 7.5" steerer. Been out of the loop, so if my price is unfair, definitely make an offer. Just want to clear out the closet. Will clean off mud before shipping but you may as well see it in its natural state.
Email marc DOT fen AT...
Ah, but we ARE taking deposits which is almost as good as a purchase. Except in this purchase we get money and you get a spot in line. So really it's not as good as a purchase. But it only costs 1/30th of a purchase, goes towards a purchase, and is fully refundable (and we have actually refunded...
Awww, I miss you guys.
Yeah, not my company. Mark Seeger is a totally different dude.
We're doing well and as pointed out above are now (and forever) Alta Motors. Bikes fucking rip and will be out later this year. Yes, I've said that before but that's when I was lying. Now I'm telling the truth.
I highly recommend The Sparrow. It's a piece on philosophy and theology disguised as a sci-fi novel. Science fiction proves a great vehicle for testing our notions of absolute morality - murder, rape, slavery, etc.
