Added E13 lg1 chain guide/bash guard. Upgraded my beat xt derailleur and shifter and went with xtr shifter and derailleur and xt 11-46 cassette. I think I'm going to swap out the 32 tooth chain ring for a 34 since I have the ultra granny gear now.. The 46er seems pointless pedaling on the road but maybe the trails will be different

got a little eye candy there ! very nice

----

added some home brew sealant (@michael.su & @clarkenstein & @rick81721 ) to the leaky rear tire - fixed it right up.
i'm looking at the bike, and realize there is a tube in the front tire. yeah, that was from a billion years ago with @Kirt and @J-Dro at nassau.
need to put a few minutes into that.

noticed the fork blew a seal on the first loop tonight - probably should have stopped, but i dislike that fork anyway.

I ran a narrow wide with a clutch and it never dropped. But shifting with no clutch is smoother so I turned it off and dropped the chain hence the want for a guard

You could play around with the clutch tension.

-Hey buddy... It looks like you blew a seal!
-No, that's just a little ice cream!

Converted my Dragonslayer back to a single speed.
30x18 and it feels great!
Everybody should have a SS in the quiver.

Evil insurgent about to get rowdy AF at creek tomorrow, x-low setting for a 64.8 head angle

anyone else have problems removing their Sunrace cassettes? 10spd 40T version
Greased them before install which took a little push, but while servicing hubs this weekend, could not get them off two wheels which are using them.
One is on a SRAM hub and the other American Classic.

 

[Karate Monkey]

Grab the back sprocket (s) with a rag/chain whip, then use a second whip to turn the smaller sprocket backwards, and slide off. Repeat until you're done.

My weekend project.
Fox 34 lower leg service.
Thanks to @Ryan.P for the hub purchase.

Squooze in time for new kicks for my #misfitpsyclesarefuckingdead

Went with the new maxxis forekasters. From my maxxis experience this is smack dab in between an ardent and ignightor. The 2.35 is a stretch though they are a fresh mount but the bonty 2.3 I just replaced were def more volumous. I did not pre view any opinions on this tire. I pretty much have tried every tire from maxxis so why not these.

On the Yeti, pulled the thorn out of the tire, added long overdue Stan's to both tires, swapped out 170mm SLX cranks and put in 175mm XT cranks. Then washed all the Six Mile red off.

Just finished greasing the bearings in my pedals, trying to find cause of squeak in my pedal stroke. Never thought something so simple would take so long.

Fork lower service
Push ultra low friction seal work very well.

Made from Trex plastic lumber; heavy enough so as not to fall or tip. The vertical slats have a slight taper towards the top, so I can place the tire in the bottom and push back into the tapered top. Slat spacing varies to fit whatever I have.

do you switch out the chainring or use the same one from geared?
Also assume you have a chain for the SS setup, is it a SS chain or just a 9/10/11 spd?
Anything else you change out other than the cog?

Same chainring. 10spd chain.
Also a SS spacer kit, I went with origin 8.
Walt if you want to try my bike first come take it.

Your geared setup is 11spd?
have a number of 9spd chains, they should work with NW, correct?

It should. I would think that only matters with cassette spacing.

 

[Juggernaut]

I've used 8-11 speed on the SS w/out issue so long as the chain line and tension is right.
