These csmx3 cassettes have been pretty good to me. Well until now. Usually break the chain then slam my knee into the stem.
What have you done to your bike today?

Dialing in the fit on Rusty2. Swapped to a 110mm stem to get it closer to my road fit, it was 20mm short because the seat tube angle is steeper. Dropped the bars 1cm and cut the fork after riding it into work and confirming the bars needed to go down. It can go all the way but, gold spacer.
Waxed the chain because I’m apparently doing that now.
Need to swap the saddle to a flat power because the arc kinda sucks riding fixed. I definitely move forward and backwards a lot more fixed so something flat allows for that…

Rusty2...did you build this one yourself then?

No, this one was built by professionals.

Every time I see Rusty 2.0 I can’t help feeling that it should be named “Cattywampus”. Ok, it’s just an excuse for me to use my favorite word. ☺️

Being it’s the combination of 2 bikes I was originally going to call it Mrs Rusty’s Sister but this was easier to slide by the wife

Stripped Elphie in prep for Crush The Commonwealth next week. Will also use this as a test to see how well a waxed system works against Dumonde Tec. I’ve done nothing but wipe dirt off the chain for 840 miles according to Strava…
Dumonde is dirty AF.
And the clean poop.
Ran the chain through the steps 3x to make sure it’s really waxed.
Might ride this bike tomorrow to break the waxed chain in, but I’m more than likely gonna ride my other bike that’s new and cool.

This bar and stem is sweet.
I need to cut it down.
800mm is wide.
I need a new saw blade. Something that cuts carbon. High tpi or a abrasive blade.

Don’t cut it, 800mm is so dope.
It feels stupid. I'll ride it on trail first.

I agree with @Steve Vai on this. All my XC bikes are 760, but the trail bike is still 800.

Last night, while I was giving my bike a once over, I discovered that my crank arm was broken. The pedal insert detached from the carbon crank arm. It was holding on by a thread so I grabbed some Gorilla glue and duct tape. Somehow it all held together for the Ringwood group ride. 🫣
New cranks already on order.

Ah man first the seatpost now the pedals. Is there anything you won't tape together?

New headset, same as the old headset but without the creak. TBH, I think the race previously on the fork was the wrong one.

I used RF cranks for all of my bike builds and I can attest that not riding them has exponentially extended the life of all my cranks across the board...your results may vary.

The weight savings of a NEXT crank make it ideal for hanging on a wall.
