New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?
- Thread starter mykel
- Start date
Waiting on a deity so threw my other one on..yeah good thing I have an asstastic ass that doesn't get chaffed by that...I like that saddle but bent the rails so retired it...
It's a drop in headset, it's a bearing in a frame, how can one brand be better than another?
My Acros stuff has been decent, started running their headsets over ten years back, seem to last fine.
their bearing seemed quite nice, but their plastic/delrin/whatever compression bit did not fit well, and the upper cap comprised of two pieces felt as if it had some slop going on.
it's probably fine. just did not instill me with confidence.
That's fair that does sound a bit shit, I've only had ZS and EC oh and a BB and they were all normal.
Never had a drop in bearing frame, I'm too much of a tinfoil hat type person to try that weird new shit.
I'm going the other way and taking out my WT to put in a used Acros headset coz I like it more.
Upgraded my old frame to the new DownCountry™ standard. Got me a Flybike FM936 in the 120mm version, and stuck a Rockshox Deluxe ultimate on there. Had it painted in pms7470c because I was quite impressed with the color of the transition spur.
I was worried that the progressive geometry wouldn't mesh well with the flat terrain around here, that the steep seattube would push me too far forward and put pressure on my hands, but so far no problems.

English? As @jonKranked would say
Does that frame have both internal and external cable routing options?

Bearings. FSA = replace in 2 months. Cane Creek = good for about a year. King = good for life of the standard.
Their crown race on my Commie DH bike was made of old soft cheese that had been left in the sun.
Well went 29/29 they made the rear cutout too far back so laced one and cut hoop free then laced another..
Xl 33.4 lbs with heavier casing larger tires and procore...not worried about weight it was just cause I wanted to see .
Got ohlins setting up a coil so I'll take it to right at 140mm rear from 120mm and coil.

I do, especially when I think about the short time a buddy took to crack his new Wreckoning last year. He is a muscle loaded dude but only 172 cm tall.Hands up all those that feel sorry for what that Following is about to get put through.

y u no steel bike?
When I find a good design I can't live without then I'll see about a steel option....I prefer aluminum to carbon fiber I just got a great deal on this and use it to ride with wife...
Just add water
Bike ripped btw, climbed well but was amazing in mud and ruts on way down, back end is a shorter chainstay so you need to be aware of drift when airborne..

Is that ATT?
Daley ranch backside of Escondido...rode with wife she's a goat and new to biking. We are going head to a rock spot so I can teach the wife to hit small drops and rocks.
He used to have one.He should just start a decal printing business at this point. Would go hand in hand with the suspension stuff.
Yep used to have 2 large sign shops and vehicle wrap monument signs etc.
I have my own machines still for die cut...I am buying a small format printer 48" for fun

I can do die cut I'm hunting down another eco sol machine no bigger than 48"...I have both grey and white ...7 year material.
I have them on a couple of bikes. Feel justified in that it makes it easier to put your wheel into the dropout again.
Makes it easier to mount your wheel and as an unintended positive side effect; due to the larger mating surface the interface just 'may' be a tiny bit stiffer.
Why did we move away from 20mm again?
