Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
nothing to stop you from using a Haas to open up a haasand here I thought it was for making avocados . . .
This bike is disturbing. I came back to look at it several time in the past few days.
I promise I can read but I just hunted through this thread with a certain vigor normally reserved for big huxxx......how do you go from Megatrail to Smash? Just new rear triangle? That easy?? I feel like I remember reading that....,.
I think a shorter shock stroke turns a megatrail into a shred dogg. To get a Smash I thought you needed different chain stays and a different stroke shock.
What jackalope said. Though the Shred Dogg does clear up to 29x2.3" as is (officially referred to as a Meat Pistol I believe); IIRC only the 145mm setting is applicable with big wheels, the 135mm mode would probably "work/fit" but your BB height may be a bit higher than optimal.
To fit bigger rubber (up to 2.5" I think) you need the Smash seat stays.
Overall this frame a super configurable platform; I have a Pedalhead inbound and will be trying the 29" wheels and a 140mm Ribbon that I had it build up with on the Shred Dogg; If I like it then I will probably order a set of Smash stays so that I can run bigger rubber and have the ability to change from crush/plush.

^^^ thanks guys. Great info. Yaaaas. Gd I have stages 5 case of newbikitis.
Nope, it used to be 31.6, but we changed it to 30.9 to standardize fitment across all models.
guess who just bought a 30.9 dropper but seems to have a 31.6 tube?
after I double checked the spec on the website ...
any chance you have a shim?

We can get shims, it's what we used on all of the complete builds when the seat tube was 31.6.guess who just bought a 30.9 dropper but seems to have a 31.6 tube?

In house CNC machining: after a few months of machining our own parts in house, it's time to....buy a 2nd CNC mill. One wasn't enough.
New CNC machine day is like the manufacturing engineer's version of new bike day. A few more weeks and Haas #2 will be in the building....

El Intenschlagen Karate!!Careful there, it is a slippery slope. Look at what happened to Intense: first buying one CNC machine after the other to keep up with production and now they are a marketing company selling Spanish designed, German engineered and Asian manufactured carbon frames.
Once the 2nd machine arrives, for sure.
Not fancy CNC mill work, but i found this familiar shaped rock during a ride in Pisgah, and after few minutes with a Dremel tool, voila!
It's great for leaving on a conspicuous shelf in the living room, as I can claim it was a Paleolithic lady's friend after a house guest picks it up for closer inspection.

which model are you getting

Agreed! Sounds super fun. I’m already tapped out for long distance trips for the year (Whistler) but maybe next year I can get the N.C. crew to make a thing of it....
I suppose, but we'd probably have to bring our own rox since they don't really have any west of the Miss
If we start shipping them out there now, the trails will be gnarly by next summer!I suppose, but we'd probably have to bring our own rox since they don't really have any west of the Miss
Probably need to ship beer too, as I don't think they have much of that either (except for Coors of course )

at least they have a woodburn to remember me by...
Ha! Btw, you still have old glory ? Was wondering if you might build it up as a beater DH bike. Although I'm assuming you're bringing the Bromad to SS next week?

It remains mysterious why you have not yet been given some type of official strategic advisory role at GG.
psssssst...wanna buy an uzzi frame? it’s just chillin in the garage right now since almost everything transferred over.
yeah, 2650bromad’s coming to da shoe. might have to woo-proof it and swap on the old aluminum bars tho.

They have plenty of rox at Angel Fire, and I think we may be sending folks down Alpha Rocks for one of the runs, which is pretty much rox on rox, sprouted from other rocks.I suppose, but we'd probably have to bring our own rox since they don't really have any west of the Miss
I think he should just buy a hardtail.
