Interesting. Do you run a narrow/wide chain and front chainring?
What have you done to your bike today?
- Thread starter Chris(NJ)
- Start date
10 sp chain though I saw you can run a 11sp chain as inner width is the same.
Yes on the narrow/wide chainring.

99% of them can be slipped on over the cable housing if you remove the bolt 😉

You have to either disconnect the cable at the lever or remove the lever in order to pull the post out enough to expose the housing. That’s an extra 2 mins of work Willis!

Dropped it off at Hailer's to get that preload jawn sorted and get the shifting dialed.
I did put an i9 stem on recently too

Turn your bars as far as you can to the drive side and pull the cable up form the seat post. No need to remove anything form the dropper or lever

Hey I actually fixed the shifting and stuck suspension lockout on the Blur. I was gonna just give it to the local house call bike mechanic but he's on a four month RV tour out west so gave it a go myself with the help of youtube videos. Shifting just needed a tension adjustment and the lockout needed a little lube. Success!

not worth it -- just get a new bike.
Actually you are right - it wouldn't have been worth it if it took more than 10 minutes to fix. Otherwise would have been a trip to the LBS.

New mfg facilities? Meaning, not made in Asia?

I don't know where, but probably still in Taiwan like the current stuff. I have one US one and a German one as well, but those facilities can't produce large quantities.
Welcome to Projekt Resurrection. This is my original 90’s Stumpy, bought new from Martys in Morristown and jumped off many a loading dock.
I’m converting it to a modern (ish) 10 speed drivetrain as the plastic grip shifts were about to detonate. Except a new chain this was all parts bin stuff. Extra cool is the modern SLX trigger actuating the front derailleur properly.
Ultimately I want to find a 100-120 fork and get the front end off the dirt. Anyway.
Current decision is How Many Gears. Triple is appropriately old skool but a pain to setup. Upside is this thing freaking motors in the big ring. I could swap cranks and go single, stick with the triple, find a five bolt NW ring, etc. I’m trying to put zero dollars into this but still trying to make it funner and more reliable.
Hard to believe how clean the old stuff is. Guess I didn’t use it that much
