My last WBP day this season was complete with a rinse down of my Leatt Monosuit and TrailCross GTX before heading back to my truck

Probably due to the clevis mount design snapping coil shock shafts.

YT and Commencal seem to be attempting to min-max the Swedish Sus a lil.

I've only used KMC X-11SL Ti-Ni for the past decade. Is there more out there than this?

I serviced my Fall Line myself after ordering the service kit and tools from 9.8

Also dropped the stroke during the service.

I have a pair of those

Don't forget the NSB bb ;) 

Also maybe add in the Vorsprung shock in development.

Big fan of the Onyx Classics I had built onto my WA1 Agent 29s back in 2017.  Recently upgraded the freehub body to XD and the new MUC style of floating axle/bearing preload/etc.  I have a mullet set of WA1 DH rims that need to be built and those will also be built to Onyx Classics against the better judgement of my bank account (I know the lack of silence from other hubs will bother myself to the point that I go out and order Onyx later on 😂 also was dumb enough to go WA1 instead of EX471 or 511 sooo)  I've a big fan of how easy it appears to be able to trackstand on climbs or tech sections with the Classics. Probably a combo of super slack and long geo, 83mm bb w/165mm cranks and the hub?

IIRC the Vespers save weight by going with 1.5 Sprag clutch instead of 2 in the Classic. I've seen some NOBL builds with a Classic rear/Vesper Front; but like the hubz d0nt match now.😤

I run 240s w/36 POE on hardtail, 240s w/36 on my road bike, Pro4s on old DH bike, 340s on another old bike.  I find the I9 1/1 hubs on my dads bike to be annoyingly loud now. 

Just waiting for Andrew to call me out for not ordering Ano Pink or Purple hubs for my next build. 😂

I'd put flashy high POE hubs pretty low on my upgrade list though.

Tyres

Grips (death to lock ons)

Brakes (ABS - anything but sram)

Dropper (finicky dropper or always needing service/bleed is a real ride buzz kill)

Saddle

Suspension (should be higher on the list but its so expensive) Regular servicing of current sus is cheap insurance though.

Wheels (lower rotational mass and unsprung mass would see larger gains from lighter tyres IMO)

I haven't worn Berserkers but don't feel like I'd want a heavier pant than the DP3/4.  I might add DWR coating to my darker pants for the next rainy season and see how that works.

Norrona Fjora shorts are the only shorts I want to rock. The leg length is a lil longer than most but it provides proper leg coverage when in a riding position and with knee pads underneath.  I've had both the original version (3/4 length vents) and the current vent (front vent) versions. The Skibotn and DP4 are a lil short in length I find even at 1.75m in height.  Also have to fold up the ankle on DP3/DP4 pants in medium.

I hope this proves to be the happy balance of extra protection I'm looking for. The previous version didn't offer much extra protection, had no clicker fit adjustment, no MIPS and the visor wasn't adjustable. That's all fixed on this new one.

I kinda like the Leatt Enduro 3.0 convertibility more. But would need to see one in the flesh first.  This Fox lid and the Leatt look like good lite Trials lids as well.

Got a few sets of WA1 rims and Onyx hubs

McDonald's used to be a cheap place to eat - I doubt adults ate their because of the cuisine.  I just looked at their online menu and it's $15.79 for a Big Mac, fries and coke.  Seems pretty steep for bulk fast food.

Post ride a few weeks back it was either McDicks drive thru or pub. Went with 20 piece nugs and fries for almost $20.  The pub would've been $18-20 for burger/beer/fries Happy Hour Special LOL

Who's backing OneUp?

My 23/24 build has parts from Blackspire and Straitline.

Ive had a decade on LB 29 rims on my Surface. DT DB spokes, prolock brass nipples and 240s hubs.  Zero issue. Still running the same Stans rim tape too

I recall when Cove and MEC sold 5.10 Impacts for like $80.  Now 5.10s retail for $200+. So either go back to $100 or offer soles for a reasonable price.  The issue would be finding a cobbler in todays day and age to do the work.  My gaerne trials boots have the ability to re-sole so that was a reason for going with them.

Galfer Green Front/ Purple Rear

I have some Trickstuff pads to try as well

how about just posting deals?  Take the tech talk somewhere else.

What better deal is there anywhere in this thread than popping a couple of 5mm spacers into a dropper post that’s already paid for instead of buying a new one?

This thread is for vultures.  Go ride your single speed gravel bike to a mechanics thread.

LOL. ManDrew saved me $4-500. Ordered a WAO rim set and Onyx hubs from NOBL in the spirit of vulturing.

Sucks.  Been running their TrailX, Der Guides and chainrings on various bikes for the past decade.  In fact I just built my latest bike with a TrailX 2.0 guide and oval NW ring. 

If someone buys theit TrailX and TrailX 2.0 guide set I'll buy a few off you. Same with NW 104 BCD and NW SRAM DM rings.  30-32t round or oval.

What in the actual fuck? 

I thought Revive 2.0/Jack wasn’t lower able? 

BikeYoke sells spacers. It’s not a particularly painful job but measure twice to be sure how much you want to lower it.

Honestly its like a 10-15mm need.

If anyone finds a sale on a Bike Yoke Revive 2.0 30.9mmx160mm I'll give them the mad Reps and be stoked on them.

The 185mm on my latest bike is a bit too long for myself.

Why not just lower the one you have?

5mm increments, so you might be able to run 180 or 175mm?

If it’s outside of your space/tools/experience any shop should be able to help you out.

If in doubt, SuspensionWerx is the authorized service center.

This likely work or I’ll just do it

IMBY has almost everything on sale at their shop. Now if only they’d respond to my WA1 enquiry.
