Can't you crank up the clutch mechanism? I'd go full taco bash and chop off or remove the bottom roller if you tend to smash stuff
Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:
ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.
NSMB - 2012 Light AM Hard Tail build off 4-7"
the MRP/c guide combo seems to have solved the problem

Changed saddle and added C-guide.

MEC also sells them for $50, or with 1" of Pex pipe and 5 zip ties, you can make your own.

You can tighten or loosen the Shimano clutch but I don't think the SRAM version is adjustable. Even then some guys need more than just a clutch.
Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.
thx

Though the only way to get it there is to ditch the dropper post (as shown) or make big compromises with strength/durability/price in other areas.
My wallet is not deep enough, I like these tires, and a bike that does not ride like poo.
After two rides without, the Gravity Dropper is back on - I'm too addicted.
Is that a XTR race double with the outer ring removed? If so, what chain guide are you running?

e.13 XCX guide - the cross bike version, since the chainline on this crank is more inboard than the standard 104/64 cranks. moving the ring out to work with the regular guide resulted in super crappy chainline.

Nice. What size is your kamui? My apologies if this is noted somewhere already.
Wrong. Always.

Don't you think you could have saved some weight with a med frame . And a shorter length seat post?
lol , nice ride for real though
Finally got my warranty replacement rear brake so now my Blender is rocking a load of SLX :) Definitely loving the HT, haven't missed the FS at all.
I can't get the front one to work without rubbing though, think the adaptor is a bit on the piss. Anyways pretty happy with this bike now. Possible upgrades in the future are new pedals (these are rattly as fuck) and then a thomson stem/some gunmetal grey bars for added bling.
This bike was built as a tribute to my 1987 Blizzard that was stolen early this year. As a result, it's a bit of a throw-back.
Even through it's a Taiwanese catalog frame, it's still got a whole lotta CanCon:
- Chromag QR clamp
- NSB caliper mounts
- Race Face North Shore XS cranks
- Race Face DH chainring converted to bash by removing the teeth
- eNVy EXO 38t
- Blackspire Chuckring 24t
- Syncros Hardcore Ti (Vancouver-built) Seatpost
- Syncros FRIC stem
- Syncros headset
- Not shown in either pic is my Roach top tube pad
The last two are from the Ritchey era, so maybe not so Canadian..
It wasn't built with lightness in mind, so I was pleasantly surprised by the weight: 28.58lb (scale was tared with the Unistrut on it)
And yeah, those are Thumbies and half-clips. :)
