Just 2. Ride the DJ on the flow trails ! I did it. It's fun. Just getting back to the top is a bit tougher.

If we do Columbia Trail we could hit the pump track and flow trails after 😉

Sussex Branch, Paulinskill, maybe Columbia Trail, open to anything really.

Have weekend plans with the wife, so I can't make this one. But my weekends have opened up again, so I'm up for getting out with you guys soon. Leo, maybe we sneak in a rail trail ride soon just to get the legs spinning a bit.

That's probably the best option if you can find, or make, a shim that takes up the slack.

There's tubes in your frame with thinner wall thickness in places once your done sanding.

Nope. Just turned it as I went. Bought a cheap used one so if it didn't work I wasn't out much cash.

I have sanded a 27.2 dropper down to 26.8 for my vintage Iron Horse with a mini belt sander.

Should'a put a roll bar in 'er ! Then you could mount your bike rack to that !

Currently have that drivetrain on my Mukluk and totally agree. It's been on there a few years now, and has been super reliable and sees the worse conditions of any bike I own.

Responded to your PM from the other day 🙂

Dont believe the hype.Take an old 26er MTB of any brand ( preferably steel ). Find a used 29er wheel set with the appropriate hub spacing. Slap some CX tires on them. Get a cheap ass rigid fork for it. Find a cheap short stem, and set of gravel/adventure drop bars. There are plenty of options...

One of the most fun rides I've had in the past few years was with @Paul H at Stewart, him on his WallyWord Schwinn, and me on my SS vintage Iron horse I picked out of the condo's dumpster. You don't need new flashy shit, ( or an e-bike) to have fun out there. Just good friends, good trails, and...

Cool idea. Let me know if you need any parts. Got a ton of good, but older, usable parts, that no one seems to want anyway.

Might be able to do this. Probably in about the same shape as Walt though.
