What have you done to your bike today?

[Zack 54]

I also went from the OEM 55mm stem, to 40mm, to 32mm with the 800mm bar.

I’m considering going to 32mm stem from 40….. that might get me into RAD.!?

I’m just being a big baby. I’ve done a zillion Shimano bleeds w/out issue but this DOT fluid stuff wigs me out. Stupid micro bubble crap.

If you've got a brake vacuum pump, pour the dot into a pressure vessel and pump it down until it starts outgassing, then leave it for a bit. Come back/fill the syringes.

If you don't, you can use a quickdraw clamp that can be assembled to spread, then fix the top of the syringe to one side/the plunger to the other, and do the same thing.

J sent me this picture today.

My 27.5+ carbon Chameleon went in for a warranty claim and now it's a 2022 alloy 29er. The fine folks at Halter's built a set of Reserve carbon jawns on i9 101 hubs w/ Pirelli Scorpion tires... got a new dropper lever too.

I'm going to have a set of 27.5+ Stan's Baron CB7 wheels for sale very soon.

What have I done to my bike today? Completely f’d up the brake bleed on the 5010…that’s what.🤬 I F’ing hate SRAM brakes. Rematch is tonight.

Almost bought the codes listed recently. Now convinced the Zee/saint options are the way to go

 

[qclabrat]

Dusted this off for it's first ride in 3ish years. Been riding the gravel bike so the 20 mile ride today was super awkward

Straighten out the derailleur hanger on one of my bikes to fix the wonky shifting I've been experience. Won't know how I did until I get to ride on a actual trial. Street riding doesn't reveal anything.

One of the best specialty bike tools I ever bought was a derailleur hanger alignment/ tweaking tool. Twice now a slightly tweaked hanger was the cause of all my shifting woes. It's Not just for post crash tweaking, even hangers new out of the Box are never perfect.

Yup, I got mine a couple of years ago and has come in handy a few times.

Lol... the pin that holds the brake lever on keeps walking out with every squeeze so probably upgrading my brakes tomorrow

 

[Steve Vai]

Custom made a bracket to mount my Dyno Light on the fork instead of the bars.

 

[Andypowerful]

Had my new Factory 38 installed. Had to buy a new wheel because my WTB wheel with generic hub had Rock Shox end caps that could not be changed to fit Fox fork. Got a WTB Proterra i30 Tough.

What travel did you go with?

I just replaced the 170 Rock Shox with 170 Fox.

This bike has been in the household for a few years but it’s been used very little and is like new since my middle son wasn’t able to ride it much after I bought it due to medical reasons.

Passing it down to Zach now and getting it ready for Mtbnjam.

He picked out new grips and I upgraded the tires to something a little wider and slightly more aggressive since the stock GR2s are more like gravel trail tires (2.2 to 2.35). Forgot
I even had these on a shelf I bought them off someone here years ago.

I have some Chester race face pedals I can install but being he hasn’t ridden this bike much I am gonna hold off so he doesn’t shred his legs with the pins and see how it goes.

 

[Dusty the Whale]

The front is mounted but i have to drop it off Monday to get everything cut and routed. Then that should be the end of the mtb saga... 🤞

 

[serviceguy]

I just replaced the 170 Rock Shox with 170 Fox.

Basically did the same, unfortunately I could not retain the full OneUp EDC setup, luckily V2 allows you to use a smaller container at the bottom of the tool, the inner shape of the steering tube of the 38 doesn't allow the full length of the EDC insert. There goes the chain pliers...

I also had a set of rampage tires sitting around for years until I mounted it on the front of my rigid SS last month. Turned out to be a decent tire. Decent traction all around and rolls well.
