The HP+I is gaining a lot of interest as a 1 Gravity bike to rule them all: pedal up to gnar/Shuttle/Park/Race etc.  Especially w/ Dreadnaught ability to run dual crown and mullet w/Ziggy Link. Range w/DC ability.  Kavenz mullet.  The G1 is the same design philosophy(just doesn't fit a bidon in the triangle🙄): two rear travel settings w/2 different spring weights, unlimited fork configurations, wheel size whatever, run a larger shock, do what you want with the RC length. 

Are these bikes better than their standard chain routed bikes; IDK. Sounds like DrewM knows a few people that flogged their Druids months after getting them. 

IMO WW fascination has hampered mtn bike progress.  Top 3 questions I'm asked about my G16 are always in no order: How much does your bike weigh? How much does it cost? Is this carb0n?  I've never weighed any of my bikes but I'd guess that my G16 29 is pretty close in weight to my V10C 26. 

We're at the point where people are equipping their Trail bikes w/4pot brakes,36/Lyrik/Helm/Coil-Overs or HV Air shocks/Enforced tyres etc. Myself included haha.

1. Remove chain at top of run.

2. Affix hose chunk between ND side crank arm and bb bearing.

3. Enjoy chainless with less crank freedom whilst saving 100s of dollars and grams.

:p

You likely have a longer inseam than I do then. My Longer (M) G16 I had to shorten my 9.8 FallLine 175 dropper. It was a hair too much at full extension. And the dropper collar was slammed to the post. 

Anyway. Let’s get you all sciencey and swap the forks on this and the G1. A ride comparison for science.

So a 1.75m person is able to ride a Large Dreadnaught and still run a proper length dropper post. 

I have a G16 Mojo edition and have been Eyeing this frame. Lack of bike and parts availability is a real drag though.

I noticed a conflict of interest in the very first quote. 🤔

I’m strongly considering getting an e-moto trials. Because it’s the same as an ebike. Better yet a moto trials bike with its own built in genset. All the range. Ride further. Ride more. Ride on.

I got on the NF DP3 pant program a few weeks ago and some of the hemp tees. I had the same hang ups about the stretchy no adjustable waist. Yet at 1.75m and 80kg the mediums just fit myself perfectly. The wide waist stays put and keeps my muffin too on check. I wish I hadn’t held out for so long as the khaki colour from spring was straight fire. I’m looking at the Bezerker for real wet weather and road cycling wear rather than paying the Squamish GTX tax. 

Picked up 5.10 Trailcross Mids so I’ll try the flats program again this fall/winter/spring. 

Looking to replace my TLD A1 and this fit pending this Oakley helmet might take the cake. Although the Giro Tyrant is up there as well.

Some nice looking bike tools coming out now. 

I’m after that Leyzne chain Plier next. 

Just got a Wera Bike 1 this week.

Ha. I’ve had a similar experience. 

When’s the last time you’ve done a rebuild on it? Mine was 500km before needing a rebuild. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Does Alba? 

They're the CDN Distro/Service centre for EXT they either have advice or the correct direction to lead you to. I recall one of them rides or rode a G13 or something.

Stans tape > Orange Tape. 

WAO was selling some rim tape a few years back on their site.  I've read about the Tessa Tape on mtbr years ago; didn't feel like buying a 12pack at the time. 

Specialized rim thingys ftw.

^Same =.  Attempted to get a Revolt this year.  Might serious look at a Naked though in the future.

Others have said you still need the furnace to move the air with the heat pump.  I think Hydro just ended a grant program. 

If you have another gas appliance in the house I'd go with a gas furnace.  When it gets really cold in the winter the gas furnace will kick on and not hammer your electrical bill.  A few of my coworkers built new houses in the last two years and went with radiant in-floor heating + gas ranges and are paying almost nothing per month.  Compared to my electric boiler for radiant heating which was on its own meter and fuck me that was expensive.

Or do a split unit AC such as whats in condos in tropical places; put the unit or units in the bedrooms that are occupied, maybe one for a main area.  But sounds like the furnace is due for a replacement.

You sure aluminum will handle the fatigue? It's a lot of money to hang on a rack and if your bike comes off and hits another car, a homemade rack is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

1Up Rack is full aluminum w/SS hardware.  Don't see the issue. Or is this like carb0n bike parts of the early 20Teens?

If plan is for Jesus Christ Pose rack; I'd go full SS with wheel baskets IMO

Last summer my dad was doing some touchup exterior painting and had a rag combust on him.

I bring my rags, soaker, fluids to work to dispose of correctly.

Onsen in Japan is just full on nudity of the same sex... 

I have my own VanTan Club 😎

I recall NSR enforcing their patent on this site years ago.  

IMHO if someone is going to build you a hanging rack outta aluminum don't go with the NSR hooks. Go wheel trays instead.

FAUX did a "solid" and offered 50% off CSUs.

The best is bike shop employees telling me I should be grateful for it. "If FAUX would've given you a new CSU free of charge you'd be singing a different tune." Actually no I wouldn't brah; but thanks I guess.

I dig the build.  Could you plasti-dip the coil black?
