ANYONE WITH A GG WANT CARBON TRAIL PISTOL SEATSTAYS?

Just found these in the garage. Does anyone want carbon Trail Pistol seat stays? I believe they will only fit the carbon swingarm.

These stays + 50mm stroke shock = 120mm travel. Or use a 55mm stroke shock to get 132mm travel.

Yours for shipping or pickup in Sandy UT.

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.

How this stuff coming along. I realize I should probably do pivots in my pistola after 2 years of use.

Horst hardware worked out great. It‘s been in use for about a year now. The seatstay / rocker hardware I haven’t had the time yet. Got mat’l & worked up a quick dwg so far.

shred dogg was released with the revved carbon front triangle but alu chain & seat stays. but yes, it was also full alu at one point. can't remember if those stays were compatible.
I believe not. I should have clarified with "main triangle" in my response above.

Started getting rear rim hits despite still running a DD at same pressure as I have for ages. Could it just be the rear shock needs a service?

cush core my man.
No way do I want to add more weight to the rear of this thing. Already considering changing the rear tyre to a 2.4 EXO+ DHR to drop a chunk of weight. Just not sure why I'm suddenly getting rim hits.

Lenawee....now that's a name I haven't heard in a while (insert Obi one kenobi meme here)

I'm sure it's still steep and awesome.
Lenawee is great, the climb to the top is even better with the new single-track climb that A-Basin put in above the upper lodge. But the finale of the ride after Montezuma is the best bit :)

Did you "shuttle" it? And by that I mean park a car at a-basin, then another at Keystone?

Back in the day, when the lifts at Key got closed to lightning, we'd do Lenawee. Was it any safer? oh hell no. But was fun. :D

Agreed. There are people who are crazy enough to ride from Keith up to ABasin. I'm not one of those. I know a couple. Just wondering his experience.
I would happily do that, I've ridden that stretch all the way up over Loveland Pass before on a MTB when I'd come over Argentine Pass on a loop. But I've always had sufficient persons and vehicles to shuttle this ride.
