Awesome ride man ! Nice looking build ! #K nation baby !

Thanks, these bikes deserve a better following in the east coast. Unfortunately both the weather and my back have prevented me from taking it to the trails so far. Hopefully next week.

Spindle spacers. Do not really like the spacers I got (plastic), new aluminum ones are in the mail. For now they will have to do. Here's a few pics of where I'm at...missing a chain, dropper post cable needs to be cut and brakes need bleeding.

You think they'd hold up ok? I bought a super cheap Amazon multitool and it literally fell apart in my saddle bag after 1 ride

@Paul H don't you have some AliExpress NW chainrings?

 

[qclabrat]

I've looked at the G forms. They just dont seem like they would really protect much in a rocky crash. I think I'd prefer something a little more beefy. I have a pair of fox launch pro elbow pads that I like, may try their knee pads out

I would not recommend it for a creek. Really geared for a trail rider that wants some additional protection.

More like a extra layer of thick skin. The better pads now have the two types of protection. Hard shell to protect from broken bones and the memory materials to absorb the impact. The new memory materials and better designs have made is comfortable for hard shells. Very hard to find the perfect set through recommendations as fit is very personal. I went through 8-10 sets before I found something I liked.

I have Troy Lee pads that are really good at keeping me safe but they shift a lot so I only use them on my arms since my leg sizing is strange.

Which ones do you have? I had a set and couldn't use them for the same reason. They kept on moving around. Believe it or not but when I ride alone, I rarely stop so have to stop and adjust pads makes my tepid flow

Anyone up for a prework ride 530 to 7 lewmo or tourne? Tuesday Thursday?

 

[A Potted Plant]

@TimBay I have a cheap rei multi tool that's yours what else do you need?

 

[qclabrat]

Arms and legs

Those are the good ones. I had a similar set my someone else and elbows were great but the knees not so good. Also they ran small. But the contour on them felt really good

I just got a park ibeam3 for 8 bucks thanks to the mothers day gift trek sent me. Thanks though. I need an 11 speed cassette, NW chainring and chain.

 

[Paul H]

@Paul H don't you have some AliExpress NW chainrings?

Prolly... But it's a 32t

No, meaning did you find them reliable to recommend?

It's a hit or a miss
I order like 2 at a time. Had one lose teeth... then another one where the holes were off spec. Then I had 3 that were perfectly fine.

Nope. Try in to get to 46.

You wanna get rid of a 32t? I'm thinking if I go 11spd to just run a 32. It's still an easier ratio than what I have now and I wanna work.
