Let's see your Walmart bikes!

It will cost less than a Walmart bike after I'm done. Where we riding next weekend?

I’m riding in my company’s warehouse replacing the network infrastructure but it’s not open to public, so…

Still looking for a Ringwood ride leader in the coming weeks

Still looking for a Ringwood ride leader in the coming weeks

If the schedule works, I can lead a ride. Since this is in the Walmart thread does it mean I need to be riding one too?

Opening day today

Now I know about bike fitting

Rolling chassis
That 30.4 seatpost diameter will be a problem. But don't plan to ream the seat tube.

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

Yep, thinking that may work. Was it hard keeping it round? A dropper may be an issue with wall thickness, but you only live once...

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

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

You should see the guy on YT reaming out 0.5mm on his seat tube to fit a 30.9 dropper. That made me cringe more

Nice! It's coming up good, looking forward to see the finished build. What all stuff you upgrading?

Damn that front suspension might be more than what you paid for the bike.

You can just get a 27.2 dropper and use shims to make it fit. Why are you complicating it?

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

 

[cyclops]

Yeah, get something like this - Shim

I don't have a 27.2 dropper. But that's probably the better option. Only keeping the frame. Nothing special on the fork, it's a Reba RL. Other interesting bits are XTR drivetrain and DT 240/Stans wheels.
