Guerrilla Gravity, badass frame manufacturer in Colorado

It depends on how easy it is to use some existing parts. I have a set of 27.5 Stan's Flow EX wheels I thought could fit in there, (142 hub) shimming the end caps and rotor like we discussed. After looking closer I realize you were dishing 3mm on a 148 hub, not 142. I'm not sure this will work. If I have to build a new wheel I'll get a 148 hub.
Tires are what I've got; Minions, HRs, maybe a SS rear. 2.5 front, 2.3 rear. Not plus sized.
Tell me this; what's the decision for welding in a seat tube gusset vs seat tube "tube" brace? Is it a frame sizing thing? I mean, there is a whole bunch of seat tube above the TT junction, obviously some bracing is needed.
You should be able to make the 142 hub work, just dish the rim over further once the hub spacer is on there.
The seat tube brace used to be a tube, but the new version looks better, is lighter, stronger, amd easier to make.

GG DJ / pumptrack bike?
I take it you want GG to build a bike with an electric Motör? So metal.
watch your junk!
You should try vaping instead. Much less harsh, brah.
^^^ I don't usually feel like I can gain much info from watching these (but I do enjoy them). This one for some reason really seems to convey that this bike is mowing over chop ridiculously well. The Smash is an apt name I think.
nope. Uni (think of a Brit saying they're going to school) - and "brooo" (the "r" emanates from the back of your throat, or rolls off the tip of the tongue... kinda like a Scot saying Irn-Bru - whether your roll your "r"s depends on which region of Quebec you're from)
they ARE french canadian after all.
cultural assimilation is a painful process to witness
You guys picking up GG bikes are going to really regret it once the new Missing Links hit the street.
120mm travel 29er fork
Also note, if you're going to run smaller diameter tires, if the BB ends up a bit low, the Philcentric BB can be used to raise it 5mm.

Any luck getting the 142 wheel work in the 148 frame?
Haven't even attempted it yet. #loser
I've been swamped and I don't have a fork yet, so building is on the back burner.
Then there's the riding buddy trying to convince me to built it as a 29r ....

Easy dish back to center. Building 29s on the retroboosted hubs now, carbon got relaced for my singlespeed to see if they explode.
MegaSmashShredPistol chainline is 55mm.
When do pre-orders start for this contraption?mtg said:

Fuck. That is a QUALITY weekend plan!
In town early for the Monarch Camping BBQ. Riding Trestle now, would love to meet up with some monkeys and have no problem driving too if I get to follow on the goods.
Braap!
Braap!
Have you been up to Monarch before? What's on the agenda?
Fake news ^^^
Well, not really, that did happen, but it was melted almost immediately, and the CDOT cameras were showing it dry a day later. I rode nearby on Mt Antero up to 13k' the next day and it was dry up there.
