NoOr ‘On-Piste XC MTB’
(depending on what you view as a piste)
If that’s a v3, is that stock saddle hardware for the 27.5?
All of the other sizes are different than that.
(but I see the Ti Bling)
Since piste literally means track, that's a horrible concoction. Like "el cheapo" in reference to a miserable person.In skiing, a piste is a groomed trail. Wide and smooth.
like…a gravel road.
Hear this a lot.like my first mtb from 1990
I think of this more as the opposite of off-piste, if that makes sense.Since piste literally means track, that's a horrible concoction. Like "el cheapo" in reference to a miserable person.
Piste?.... anyone Australian or Irish basically.Or ‘On-Piste XC MTB’
(depending on what you view as a piste)
I honestly believe early 90s mtbs rode better and were far more versatile.
Yes.Wait, what are we talking about here, again?
Gravel riding on gravel, or light duty xc on trails?
Its all just so confusing.
Nice. Where did you get those?Did grey decals for dh38 to match V10 factory decals
Companies still use a section of tube as a rail clamp?Warning: garvel bike content.
Spending more time on this to let my thumb heal up means this bike is getting more love. Bits to make it more comfortable. Blurring the lines between this bike and my hardtail. No suspension, skinnier tires, geometry like my first mtb from 1990.

Moved the Schwalbe ( with a Vittoria Air Liner) to the back for the skinny Ground Control up front. Gel pads under the bar tape. Dropper post.

Aside: for a 27.2mm dropper, One Up v3 is
far superior to the others I've had a chance to try. The WolfTooth dropper remote is excellent.

I think some light weight options do, yeah. This is off an ooooooooold post though. Still solid. I'm only about 70kg, so can get away with some more minimal options - particularly on a bike like this. The One Up posts on my hartail and trail bike have the stock clamps in use.Companies still use a section of tube as a rail clamp?
I'm too fat for that, I need a clamp like this-

I have plotters ..used to own sign shops and did vinyl, wide format printing, monument signs and vehicle wraps .Nice. Where did you get those?
These came in a black plastic case with some really nice foam inserts...Who's kit are the blue presses? I think I have the same one...but just in plastic tub.
Yep, that's the stuff.These came in a black plastic case with some really nice foam inserts...

Oven cleaner will strip anodizing off...Same, though mine is faded light blue, maybe turquoise to those people. Dark blue would be much cooler!
Does it include extraction tools?These came in a black plastic case with some really nice foam inserts...

No .I did just order a small puller set .Does it include extraction tools?
I have that. It'd be nice if there were more "in between" sizes, some monkey motion is required sometimes to get the puller in...but although janky, with a lot of bearings you don't have a better option, so it works.No .I did just order a small puller set .

Lol already looking to chop shaft down to 7" - 9" and cutting slide hammer 1/3 down. 14" is a bit much and hammer is a bit heavy ..I have that.

Honestly the slide hammer should be long, I have a shorter smaller unit I bought separately at a bearing shop and it's not nearly as useful/able to pull out bearings. For real tight ones, you need that distance IME...also the heavy slide hammer.Lol already looking to chop shaft down to 7" - 9" and cutting slide hammer 1/3 down. 14" is a bit much and hammer is a bit heavy ..
Can't do much about the inserts, so reduce back end down.
It does match the Enduro bearings puller...buddy has that at his shop and I think it's too long ..
