No Detroit I-beam steel, no care.
"radioactive puke" seems appropriate for coloring. Like not just food poisoning but, a vomit that's indicative of a deep tissue breakdown that is fatal, and is corrupting all that is holy from deep within.

Anybody have part numbers for the pivot bearings on the Megatrail? I found the main pivot and rocker link pivot ones in the owners manual, but unless I just can't read (very possible), the dropout pivot and upper rocker link pivot ones aren't listed.
Have you confirmed that the frame is in spec?
BB92 can be built in one of two options. Full 92mm width or 89.5mm and use a 2.5mm spacer on the drive side between bb cup and frame.
Shimano's 1x spec is 50.4mm this puts the inside of their 1x chainring at 47.8mm.

Main Pivot: 7903
Rocker Pivot: 7901
Seatstay pivot near rear axle: 6901 SM Max (pka 38801; the SM Max part is critical, as it is different than a regular 6901)
Seatstay pivot at top of rocker: 698
The 7000 series bearings are angular contact and must be installed with the black seals facing outwards.
The 6901 SM Max is also angular contact, but dual row and installation direction is not critical.
Tomato, tomato.
Thanks. Have you guys considered selling a kit with all of them? The 6901 SM Max in particular is kind of a PITA to find online. I haven't yet found anywhere that has all 4 types in stock, and shipping costs get pretty brutal when you're buying from several different sellers.

Ya know, for a place run by a bunch of
lizard people, it actually provides beneficial info on occasion. I would also point out the pedalhead frame mtg posted is an "unsurprising" shade of green.

We are the only 4 people with 150mm hubs

I waited 3 months for my 7 speed atomlab, so if I can't get 157 caps, I'll find a way to keep it if I upgrade.
Try finding a wheelset with 150 hub and 29" hoop. Like trying to find a leprechaun. Let me know if anyone sees one for sale.
A lot of the Banshee guys on MTBR are running those on their phantoms and primes which allow 135/142/150 depending on dropout choice. You may poke around over there as I'd bet you could secure a dentist condition wheel from one of them...
First ride today!
size?
Full details:
Large GG megatrail
2015 Fox 36 RC2 currently 150mm, need to move to 160mm
CCDBCS
i9 enduro 27.5 wheels w/ DHR2 front/rear
XT brakes, pedals, 11 speed drivetrain with XX1 cassette
Next SL crankers with pedal dragging 175mm arms
Reverb, hopefully a RF stealth dropper someday
Bromag BZA bars and 35mm stem
Coming off a large 2013 spitfire with 50mm stem, this fits me better (I'm 6'2" with short arms but long torso; spitty felt a little small but not bad). I can tell it's got a longer wheelbase and the 27.5 wheels are about like everyone says--roll over is a shade better and cornering takes a bit more deliberate lean in. Overall no big deal. After a quick shake down I couldn't be happier.
@SuboptimusPrime - that looks great dude. Will be interested in a comparison to the Spitfire after you get some time aboard this new forest path cruiser!!
Thanks Corey! I'll definitely post something up and will keep you in the loop. Honestly, it would have been hard to move on from the spitty if it wasn't going to stay local. That bike has been along for some really fun times.
That's Graeme Pitts' bike
You shut yer filthy commie socialist word hole.
The only way that bike could be moar beautiful is if someone stuffed a bald eagle in the downtube.
Hey mtg: is there a bald eagle stuffed in the downtube?
Don't have one but did ride an MT with one for a while.
I liked a monarch better.
But since you own the shock, just try it. Then panic if you don't like it.
Also: HAHA, mtg has to put together the 26 jig again!

How much do you weigh? The Inline is not recommended for folks over 200lbs or so.
Nope, we get to pass that all the way down the line to Claude.
Yeah the db inline didn't work for me and I'm about your size, GG was nice enough to swap it for the db air cs plus their normal upgrade fee from inline to air.I am at least 235lbs....
I lost my scales since we have moved so I'm going with the how my pants fit scale
Good to know. Im talking to Cane Creek now and thats pretty much what they said. I'll be on the hunt for a DBA.
