Well in going from 2 DJ bikes down to 1, I figured I would finish off the Fall Guy with a couple of parts. Profile splined 23t and some new pedals:
I wanted to complete the Fall Guy with the new chainring to polish off the purple theme. I pretty much only run splined drives, so I was waiting for them to make the 23t available in purple to match the rest of the goodies. I also threw on new purple MG-1 pedals to replace the ****ty Twisted PC pedals. Funny thing is the MG-1 pedals are lighter. So now the bike is just about complete as far as cosmetics. The only thing I am not overly fond of is the animal headset color. Their purple is not radiant like Profile’s. I may swap it for a black one or maybe a WTP in purple. Other than that I think I am finally done.
I was previously running a Tree 22t up front and went up to the 23t. With that I was able to leave the chain the same length and get the rear wheel slammed. I didn't think it would make too much of a difference, but now the bike manuals like nothing I have ever experienced. I love the feel of the bike with this gearing and set-up.
