Finally getting to this, I'll pop a shim out because I was on minimum compression.

Not sure why you need a special tool to get the air spring apart, a normal cassette tool fits.....

Depends how far down you want to take it AND if your current cassette tool is hollow so it it'll fit over the shaft.
It only had maybe 30mm of exposed air shaft to go over, didn't seem like it would really need a special tool.

Hugene? Wasn't that what you had before?

All these sales are killing me. But given my near term MTB prospects make look Holland look mountainous :/
Hugene little bike and Clash big bike being sold off for a "medium" bike.

Tyee 6CF frame @ 145mm mulleted with a 160mm Lyrik.

Feels good so far!

Jingle bells the entire ride would ruin the experience for me. Not to mention hikers find bikes sufficiently annoying as is.

I've got another TRP EVO shifter coming and a Sram HG road 11-44t cassette to go on the Hadley hub.

No rocks, but...

didn't think there were any 4-bolt rotor setups out there (current) other than Rohlof. WTH is it? Crank Bros. rim, but?
KOM Xeno, the disc is a stressed member, it acts as a girdle for the freehub which is on the left.
Damn thing cost more than half the price of the bike it's going on, but I have got spare pawls and a drive ring.

Ah, I recall reading a bit about them when they popped up, but didn't realize the rotor was like that.

Well you're not going to get a KOM if your rotor bolt is jamming up against the brake adapter.

I was somewhat restrained this year because I just get stuff all year long when I decide I "need" it.

*OneUp e-carbon bar - second one (this for the Nomad), it's a bit more compliant than the normal version, finish is nicer, and I feel like the rise/sweep is a bit different besides having the same numbers.
*fresh OneUp EDC carrier (just the plastic bits) - my current one is like 6-7 years old and is worn out and loose.
*Hope F22 pedals - second set (these for the Nomad), I just find I slightly prefer them to the T-Macs. Less grip but easier to find the right foot position and hit things less often
*Argotal DH SS - going to run these on one bike and the radial Magic Marys on the other and see which I prefer. Probably the Contis.
*MRP Noken - because I'm not heavy/rad enough to handle the ramp of my 170 Zeb. And curiosity to see if that change is what I think it is.
