New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

Yeah, steerer tube/stem mounted Wahoo is the best IMO. Got the setup on 2 bikes now. I use the K-Edge mount. Good stuff.
what are these gadgets being used for during the ride?
nope:

Wow. That is one fancy piece of kit! I'm sure it's awesome.nope:

Got another 36 , sold mine took my avy cart snd runt and slapped in.
Did you ever get decent impressions on running the Secus and the Runt together?
Went from 150mm to 140mm air shaft and put a 5mm spacer under the stem. I am excited to see how it handles.
Did you want to lower the bb or steepen the head angle? Both?
No but I will put it on this one since it's back up to my boxxer...I'll run it , I've been so slammed we bought the house we are in and have been crazy slammed...between suspension and house
I did plant 2 banana trees so there's that...lol
@buckoW How did your bike end up? I haven't been doing squat or even riding for a bit...so haven't really been online....but I do tell people about your bike a fair bit
But won't that ruin Mullet's super-proprietary-secret-sauce-only-their-geometry-will-work?
I've gotten used to the bike now and found myself understeering in certain situations. I'm looking forward to seeing if its quickened up some.
The bikes are ideally forked at 140mm and I've just been letting it all hang out. Didn't want to dig into the fork until I had some time on it and had a good idea of why I wanted to adjust the HT angle.

Replacement of one for another. This explains much of why the one had a weird wobble. Perhaps the another will be fine.
DHRII DH --> Assegai DD.
Also straightened out a couple rim side bits that were a bit wonky.

The last black one is my 3rd favorite but I haven’t given the suspension enough dialing in to give it a fair shake. I’ve been enjoying the shit out of all of them. My wife loves hers too.
Are you changing geo, wheel path?
Did some prep for the Thunder Mountain trip I just bailed on due to my thumb.
Just a little bitter about that...
New bigly rotors for the Hope T3V4s.
TRP 223mm (2.3mm thick)
PM is supposed to be for 203, and works great with a 203 direct mount. 20mm mount should be good for a 223 rotor no? A 20mm - the only thing they had Galfer mount that I ened up having to use two washer to space the caliper to clear the rotor. Bit jankey but it was only going to be for this trip.
Not sure
is going on with that...
TRP 203mm (2.3mm)

Going from my Magura 220 rotor to the TRP 223 *should* mean I just needed to place a small 1.5mm spacer in between the brake and spacer, but for some odd reason it required more than that.Did some prep for the Thunder Mountain trip I just bailed on due to my thumb.

When it is marketed as as a PM to PM +20mm adapter....to my admittedly simple self, that should mean that any math is taken care of.
You would hope so but I don't think +20mm works for all Post to rotor sizes and is probably specific to 180->200, 203->223 ETC
Then should it not be marketed / marked as such?
This should not be rocket surgery.
Ultimately, this was the solution.
If I get bored from hiding from the smoke this weekend perhaps I'll do the math.
Why don't they add 1.5mm?
Fuck, all I know is that I would like an adapter that is actually available and does not need to meet MacGyver to work. Was reading on empty beer about a guy who bought a bunch for his 40 and 223 rotor and not a one of them worked.
Wonder if a standard 23mm would work...possibly a bit too much?

Like Kidwoo alludes too, the problem is not every disc brake manufacturer places their caliper in the same radial position, so one companies "20mm" may not be 20mm for another, once you take into account the caliper's mounts. So ideally you only buy the company's adapters, but in reality availability and failure to adapt to changing rotor sizes usually means mis-matched adaptors and calipers are at least in play.
Ya, I went through that with Hope a year or so ago. Wanted the 225 rotor, which was available in bulk, probably because they did not have an adapter that would work with a 203 DH fork PM.
Strangely my adapters on the trailbike - Fork 180 Post, 203 disk NSB +23mm works perfectly, same as the 160 - 180 +20mm NSB out back.
If it is a radial position problem, then I wonder who's brake alignment aftermarket companies like Galfer or North Shore Billet use? SRAM or Shimano would be my guess.
Being 223 rotors and Hope brakes, that makes it a bit of a problem as Hope have 220 and 225, but not 223 disks. I had a quick look and still could not find a 203-225 adapter, they have 203-220 though that would obviously not work.
Motorcycles figured this out a while ago with radial mounts. However I can see how that would be problematic on the rear of a bike.
Wonder why they don't drill the rotor so it wipes the whole pad?
