Sick Primer. Matches the Chevy nicely.

How are the Hope crankset? Thinking of getting a set myself. Can't find their cheap speciality BB tool though.

You can borrow my bb tool if you decide to get one. I got mine in PG for 25~ bucks

Bike yoke revive. They make a 185 or a 160. Best dropper I've ever used. No problems and zero servicing over the past year. You won't be dissapointed

Did I get a lemon? Did the stars align and the power of my legs is over 9000 and it just ripped out. I was riding with my mechanic and he said he's never seen anything like this. Also for what it's worth the clutch was in the ON position

Hey guys/gals

Went on a ride today and 30seconds into the descent the cage + spring ripped out of the clutch. Never seen this before but the plastic housing that the spring sits in must've had a hairline crack and let go. Also to note this derailleur has never had a strike and its been used all of 5 times. Is this a common issue with these shadow clutch derailleurs? Exploring my options. Pics to follow
