Figured I'd post this here for any still riding their GGs. Lance Canfield just posted on the GG FB page that they were taking requests for replacement part and that they'd be willing to manufacture some for us. Pretty cool move. I used this as justification to acquire a clean, green final edition Smash. Looking forward to building it up.

Or you can just buy my totally fine Megatrail with new bearings.

The maxipad just fell off the groin of my The Smash™ which I assume is not common. Besides looking like it needs a vigorous cleaning, any recs on what to use to stick it back on?

I tried silicone, which just fell off pretty easily again. Shoe-goo maybe? That stuff can dry pretty hard IME.

Shoe goo for the stay or the downtube pads. I think I just used IPA of the non-beer variety to clean.

I just started to make my own GG hardware, last year, as things started to fail / wear out. There is room for improvement. I make the replacements out of stainless. I went with a (3) piece design for the horst pivot. It's held up awesome & eliminated the garbage threads in the chainstay clevis. https://ridemonkey.bikemag.com/threads/this-is-whats-wrong-with-the-industry™.279473/post-4671944

Next up is the seatstay / rocker fastener. Going with a combo external hex - internal hex socket. Just need to dial in a new 5mm hex wobble broach on stainless.

I've heard that cleaning the frame with IPA then using 3M two sided tape works quite well too.

where'd you snag your smash? i'm kicking myself for not getting a pistol/a in that sweet green color
Just saw it for sale at PB. It was listed as a complete but the owner was fine selling the frame only. I'd been looking around for one...they are around but not a lot of the colored ones. Seems like there are more greens than the blue/red/gray that was also on the ridegg site.

if you see a green size 3 pistol for sale send it to me as fast as you possibly can.
