After months of waiting my new bike is finally finished take a look...

i threw it together with some random parts but will eventually swap out when they wear. I got in a big pinch as my new wheel wasnt ready and wouldnt be for a few days so off i went to performance. $80 bones later i got a 'loco' front 20mm wheel. Ride Report to follow tomorrow morning as im bustin her cherry first thing!

Loving it.

 

[greenchris]

Loving it.

nice i took a co-workers fixed langster out for a spin, although a bit small, still was a blast to ride.

What size is that, looks big. Very nice ride, but I would recomend a Ti spring upgrade down the road, it's a very economical way to save a large amount of weight.

 

[greenchris]

its a large eventually ill upgrade to a ti spring

 

[jacksonpt]

is that the 2:1 setup? That's a damn nice ride!

Total hotness. I have read good things about the Loco wheel, so you should be good.

What wheel are you building up?

 

[greenchris]

yes it's the 2:1 ive heard nothing but great things from the frame/shock after a few more rides ill have a better feel for it. I just have a mavic 321D laced to a dimension hub being built. Nothing fancy but they get the job done.

Bait him to say something about TV and lots of folks will pile on him. That appears to be a sensitive topic for some folks.

I've heard that NC and the Twin Cities are nice. Denver sucks balls, though. Don't waste your time.

ill keep that in mind

 

[greenchris]

it would be nice in the twin cities to have great walleye and northern fishing right in my backyard.

not really in my backyard but close enough the fishing at rainy lake is amazing.

 

[SCTreeHugger]

What are the benefits of a 2:1 leverage shock ratio?

Oh, and nice bike.

 

[greenchris]

basically you can run a lighter spring and less stress on the rear end as the shock takes a lot of the load.
