was gonna say, at least you can save money and buy the single-compound hard tires. at that heat, they are probably half melted anyways...
New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

I know, right?
Is there enough chain wrap at the chainring so you don't lose it in rough terrain?
So far, no issues. (relatively new Wolftooth 30t N/W ring, new chain, new 11-42 XT cassette)
caveat: where i live and ride doesn't have much in the way of long stretches of vert - it's all short ups/downs. won't really have a good test of chain keeping over distance until the lifts open.
Love that mud surfer. And here's a fun fact: Wales gets ~57" of rain per year, and we got ~60" in 2018. To hell with a southern border wall, can we build a sky wall around Nor' Cack?Got this thing for the sloppy season and it's more than earned its keep.
Finally decided to buy some knee pads and start hanging out at highway reststops...still need to work out the understall foot tapping code tho (definitely embarrassing when you get it mixed up!)
Anyway, so far I'm a fan of my new alternative lifestyle.

That paint is dope. I couldn't deal with the constant nosebleed though.
is it...is it...PURPLE DRANK???
Destroyed the 3D printed bash today, I guess it got too brittle in the 20s today.
New OneUp Underbash went on the bike instead.

It's supposed to be Reigning Blood, but it looks more burgundy to me. Regardless, today's shakedown ride was rad AF...the next thing you know I will get a fanny pack and move to Provincetown.
As for the low O² levels up here in the mesosphere, it's not a big deal now that I have a therapeutic use exemption for all manner of asthma drugs.
I've had those - sold one to @Sandwich, had a iscg03 one on another frame. I like the plastic bash better on rocks.
I just run a steel chainring and don't worry about it.I've had those - sold one to @Sandwich, had a iscg03 one on another frame. I like the plastic bash better on rocks.
Your mileage may vary depending on what interface you need. SRAM makes some cheap ones, or Wolftooth if you want a little shinier/blingier/moar spendier.
Perhaps it is not obvious from my post, I replaced the broken one with a new Underbash from OneUp. I like it a lot.

It is, just adding more options for the collective brain trust that is teh Monkey.
Can confirm.I've had those - sold one to @Sandwich, had a iscg03 one on another frame. I like the plastic bash better on rocks.
In my experience aluminum tends to stick and hang-up, whereas plastic slides.
Ally sure looks better though.
That. I also hate the screeching sound when alum bash gets violated against a rock.
I do > 1000 miles per year on one of my MTB's which is 8 years old and still 3x9.
Decided to almost modernize the drivetrain on it now that 11 speed XTR is being cleared out for the new 12 speed stuff. Going 2x11 with an XTR, X01 and GX mix and swapping my 10 year old Pro 2 hub to an XD driver. 2x as I need the range and it means I won't be climbing on the big cassette cog very often.

looks mint, i love the stealth fork and shock
Mine has been great fun. Chuck some mastic tape on the top of the CS between the supplied rubber guard and the chainring.
Old parts, new frame. XL 2017 Wilson non crabon.
Really excited to test this thing out. Suspension feels so dialed even with just the initial setup. Now i´m intrigued to experience the Weagle suspension wizardry myself.
New frame day. Welds are ok, not the best, not the worst. It's a tank at 9lbs 12oz, but tubes sound rock solid - no worries about frame failures miles from nowhere.
SC FTW!New frame day. Welds are ok, not the best, not the worst. It's a tank at 9lbs 12oz, but tubes sound rock solid - no worries about frame failures miles from nowhere.
