Sure.

some xt hydros?

It was kind of a joke because they're notorious for missing fluid on a squeeze giving you zero braking when you need it most. I've been holding onto them for a townie bike but if you really want a set, I could put one together. Given how long they've been sitting in a bag I'm sure the seals are useless too.

XTR V-brakes?

suck it

 

[eric strt6]

Fan at the back of the fridge iced up. I turned of the icemaker a few days ago. today I combined the long rigid tube from the shop vac and a blow drier and was able to melt all the ice around the fan. Fridge is quiet again and staying cold like it should

Those are the brakes that I use. They work for me, bled as required.

Replaced the post on the front porch. Time for a shower, then making pizza and drinking beer

I've got some more shit to dig through but I can get a set together if you want something.

I've also got some zee and saint stuff

There's one set of calipers I need to make sure I throw away and everything else should be as good as shimano ever got anything

 

[Dirtrider]

thank you brown santa and black friday!

Careful, the DB IL is prone to breakage when ridden as intended.

will they come with a few free rapid rise derailluers and shifters? Because those were AWESOME.

hey man

looks like something's up with your shock

I was smart enough to always get rid of those immediately


I also wouldn't ever give anyone something that old

kitsumas too? that's what that is. buddy who runs one has been super happy with it...figured it i didn't get on with it i can probably sell it pretty easily locally...wanted to try air vs. coil...

I did. I switched back to Fox. Problem solved.

Not sure about the Kisuma. I had nothing but issues with the IL. Enough so that on my Megatower I went away from CC. I like to support local and all but I also like when my shock doesn’t grenade on a downhill (twice).

The IL's were known for issues, iirc. I liked my original db coil on my uzzi...now stop making me nervous!

I ran the IL as an xc shock. When it blew and needed service I paid for the upgrade to the less explodable version.

I also got a shipment from CC today.

I had two inline shocks I never had problems with. On one bike in particular I really liked it. That's also a really old design as this point, that's not what you got.

That's looks like something partially caused by the frame yanking on it at topout or sideloading. Hey dirty, did that shaft break off on the threads?

 

[kidwoo]

okay I lied

brand new unused

no lowballers, I know what I've got

 

[canadmos]

Does the A20 comes with the DT350? Girlfriend has the A30 with the DT hub.

It looks like you have to jump to the $4000 C50 model to get the DT350. All the rest come with that Sunringle SRC hubs. But at least with a through axle...

 

[Dirtrider]

. Hey dirty, did that shaft break off on the threads?

The shaft separated from the lower end where it was pressed in. No threads. When I dropped off at CC they said they’d never seen that before….I will say that their customer service is top notch.

 

[kidwoo]

pressed in. No threads.

wtf

that's dumb as shit

did you bottom bracket case a jump or something?

That's the only scenario I've seen shocks pull out like that. Threaded body ones at least....

thankfully never had to try and make one of those work well

Need an upgrade different piece of shit shock?

that float on the left doesn't even have a rebound adjuster so should avoid confusion

That bike's long gone, frame broke as they all did. I loved it while it lasted.

Having a pretty sweet afternoon chilling with Isla. We’ve been rocking out the Heilung most of the time. She digs the rhythmic drums.
Did a little tummy time photo sesh too.
Although she only took a 40 min nap

Ginger baby, well done Sir. Well done indeed.

Been on a Kitsuma for 6 months or so. I like it but the rebound seems too fast. With a 450 lb spring the HSR is one click from fully closed.

all those damn shocks twin tube shocks feel like that, even the dirtbike ones

I got steve at vorsprung to install a block off spacer for the HSR circuit that essentially kept the whole circuit closed on a dhx2 a few years ago. Seemed worse on the foxes than the CCs IMO

There was a main piston shim stack that pivot used on their dh bikes that I copied. It made the foxes work way better. I wonder if you could do the same with the CCs

Aw fuck. In the ER. I was doing a light workout on the elliptical. HR under 100. Major chest pain radiating into my left arm. They think I might have thrown a clot. Chest xray, meds done, CT scan coming up.

Mrs Ringle is a pure bred ginger, and it would appear Isla is on track to look like her momma.

Ther are 8 deer + 2 bucks chilling in my gf's front yard right now. Shall I send them your way?

Yes....I haven't seen a single shootable deer while I've been out!

Fall Semester Concert with local college band today. I have 3 students playing as well as myself and my former student now colleague. Should be a good show. Girls had their first meets of the season and finished strong, taking 2nd place overall for level 8 (Syd) and third place for Alex (level 5). Going to be a busy season with these two.

 

[TreeSaw]

Wife and I did a short hike last weekend at Roxborough State Park and saw 5 bucks and a probably half dozen does. Just hangin' out next to the trail.


XTR V-brakes?

I actually might have some XTR V Brakes lol!

Funny, I see shootable deer every time I leave the house, and sometimes when I’m sitting in the living room.

Damnit! I only seem to see them when I am driving home from events. Guess I should move to CO!
