good luck with those i9 springs..... they’re escape artists.
Finally, a positive post tonight. Nice going?View attachment 121448
Installed the newly repaired XT 11spd mech on my Chilly, after replacing the mangled parts with a combination of parts pulled from my bin, and donated by @serviceguy. A few minor adjustments, and she's ready to go. I love turning trash into treasure.
I’m building a Salsa Fargo ... Steel
Moving all the components from the Cannondale 105 - love both bikes but the comfort / seat positioning - stack of the Fargo is entirely different. Should look like this exactly.
you mean the tubeless tape?I plan to do some service to my wheels. Does the rim tape have a life span and if so how do you know what size you need.
Yeahyou mean the tubeless tape?
You should be able to get that from the specs of your rims on their manufacturer website. Usually a couple of mm over the internal rim width, but it really depends on the shape of the rim.Yeah
Context?I thought about it a lot. I’m 2200 miles away, bike-less, in a pre-zombie-apocalypse.
if you don't damage it it will be fine and if you get some and its too wide pull it tighter and it will be a better fitI plan to do some service to my wheels. Does the rim tape have a life span and if so how do you know what size you need.

Ah, ok. I get it now. And I do too.Ok, so I was working a trade show in Las Vegas. Came out the weekend before, spent some time out in the hills, really enjoying the climate and scenery, I just really wished I had my bike. Middle of the week I call-in to the office and am told, “things are really going nuts around here, huge lines at Costco et al, store shelves wiped clean, just like a zombie movie”. I was kinda confused, because a day earlier I had grocery shopped in LV and didn’t see a run on anything?!
Yeessssss finally some Commencal love in here. I’m dying to build a hardtail to go with my Meta 4.2.Finally finished my 1st full custom HT today. It's a 2020 Commencal Meta. I went with i9 Hydras on EX3s 29s, King headset and BB, XT 1x12 drivetrain and breaks, Fox 36, Renthal stem and carbon bar, PNW Bachelor post, Ergon grips and saddle, and Minion rubber. She fits me like a glove and I can't wait for her maiden ride tomorrow.
