New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?
- Thread starter mykel
- Start date
Hope you don't get foot cancer
So one bearing?Oil slick or GTFO.
Lol...
New rotors (upped the rear to 203 to help control my fatass), pads, tires and rebuilt front wheel with new rim.
Got on the Assguy and Aggressor combo. Feels good so far, no complaints compared to DHR2 front and rear.
Felt the front rim ping a rock twenty seconds off the lift today; great start, tubby.
To be recieved/mounted are new grips, new chain guide plastic thing, new chain* and a 170mm Zeb.
*could only find a 12 speed Shimano chain in stock. Will try it with a Sram quick link, hopefully no funny sounds or issues with the sram parts.
Also got a rebuild kit for the OneUp post, need to do that as well. Finding spare time is hard mid summer...

I've got a lightly used SRAM 12 speed chain, like 2 rides. If it is the right length I can try to get it across the border to you.New rotors (upped the rear to 203 to help control my fatass), pads, tires and rebuilt front wheel with new rim.

That'd be splendid. How many links does it have?
It measures 56.5", so that should be 113 sans quick link.
Front end refresh with new fork, bars, stem and a fresh Assegai. We also got new mud tires on the Troopy.

That's the same view I have when I get a new rubber...lol
Ok, you math whiz. What a show-off.
Well I can't count that high.
((((((((((VIBES))))))))
see what I did there?

Spokes finally came so I'm now mulleted, the bike feels less fun but it does get hung up less and I need all the help I can get at the moment, if I get some pace up I might go back to a 650b front wheel.
I have five short rides on the fork so far and it already has a bit of bushing movement, the box said made in 2021 but the casting said 2019 so maybe I got an older sloppy lower.

Couple of my Toyotas I've built and sas for desert and hammers..on 40s with 1 tons

Those look like fun! You do the King of the Hammers?
We aren’t allowed to even put tires bigger on a truck here.
Raced off road trucks never did ultra 4...been up back door and about every trail at hammers though... Lol
Forest at sand hollow another spot to get down
Me over sideways rock kept us from rolling back down

ROLF!
what the....
Wow! That’s so gnarly! I like the dual moto rack.
I just go shuttling and trail building mostly with my truck but since we live in the mountains it’s pretty practical for a lot of what we do. Here’s a photo from yesterday putting up some trail signs.
And a few others.

That thing is really cool...I'm low key right now as far as my truck...use it for daily and camping...but that rig of yours and diesel is spot on...like a modern fj60 with the right fuel....
Love those shots
New fork arrived. Will test tomorrow. Also replaced the grips and chain guide plastic stuff. Still need to do the chain.
Zeb feels lighter than the DVO Diamond. A buddy with a Diamond also ditched his this week after finding a Fox 36 in stock. Different, but similar issues...

I want to ride a zeb, heard a TON of great things about em...
Good looking ride....
Yes, It‘s a 4.5hp motor made by Kranked with a throttle. The dropouts are custom and 15mm longer because it only wants to wheelie out from under you.
And those 15 mm do the trick?
Bike sounds fun, would like to try.
No, it still wants to wheelie. I sold that bike and I’m getting a friend to make another steel front triangle for a Gambler rear end with geo that I think will be good for this.
Hey! Me too!New fork arrived. Will test tomorrow. Also replaced the grips and chain guide plastic stuff. Still need to do the chain.

Except I have to wait for the stupid boost kit to arrive before I can swap forks.
how does it take a day and a half to make its way through the facility?! Don't they know I have a fancy new bauble that needs to be played with?!
Also a new rim and rubber. I now have a specialized spank wheel.
and a new derailleur cable. to replace the one that snapped on the last ride.when the fork goes on, I will also have a new Chromag Fubar to put on as well. After watching my buddy snap his carbon bar a few weeks back, I felt it was time to replace mine after 3 seasons on it.
Why not just go directly for an electric motorcycle? Like Cake or sur-ron
Nice! Fox 36?Hey! Me too!

My shock did the same bouncing around and mumbo jumbo as that last year. Hopefully yours doesn't go mia for two months like mine did...
How heavy/stiff is that tire? I like the blkdmnd casing but it is very stiff - so stiff that it makes the tire feel inflated more than it is, which can lead to pinch flats (ask me how I know).
