  1. In the gig economy, it's all about networking.
  2. Got into MTB just as 29ers were hitting the floors and owned both those and 26ers. To me the 27.5 was the copy/printer/fax/scanner of tire sizes. It was promised to be the best of the 26 & 29 but ended up being the lesser of each. Id like to try a mullet combo on my 27.5 but it'd be too slack.
  3. Thanks Bike was 135QR so i had to come up with a way to tension the chain without adding one of those derailleur-ish units. The MRP has a cog on the lower guide that serves as a tensioner. I had to loosen the BB and rotate the unit until the chain was the correct tension and then re-tighten the BB cup (no iscg tabs). A bit of a PITA but it works.
  4. Bought for project and never used. $30 firm please
  5. Bought this small 27.5 bike from peddler last christmas for my kid. I think she rode it once, so she pretty much had zero interest in it. My options were to let it hang on the wall for another year and collect dust, or do something fun/different. Ended up building a pseudo pump bike that was supposed to be cheap/simple but ended up being far from that. After all the headaches it turned out pretty cool. I still suck at bigger jumps/gaps and hoping this will be a good bike to go practice on. Worst case I can always put it back on the wall🤣 Pike Rct3 reduced to 110mm FSA orbit WTB Frequency i23 team laced to DT350s w. 18t wolf SS cog Onzo Skinwalls Race Face 165mm crank w. 34t ring MRP Mega G4 Spank 40mm stem Spank 750x 60mm risers ODI vans grips blah blah blah..... Only stock stuff I reused were the tektro brakes, rotors, and seat/post.
  6. Currently in chill mode with Les
  7. Riders with shorter inseams that don't want the tire buzz of a 29 in the back but prefer the rollover they offer in the front. Will probably build a 160mm travel 27.5 with a 150mm 29 mullet up front next for the wife. I was excited to see this but intense really screwed the pooch on that one. It's just the 29 frame with a plus tire in the back with all the shock tuning issues that come with it. They should have added the rear 27.5 triangle to the 29 frame but i digress..... In professional Enduro and DH it seems to. Real world? Who knows. My biggest struggle going back and forth between wheel sizes was lazy line choice. The 29 plowed stuff the 27.5 would try to tomahawk me over. Yes. My commencal has a 27.5 x 2.6 on a 35mm rim that measures out around 28.3". You can add some height back with tire choice.
  8. Do you have an original thought? These copy/paste/post are dogsh*t. you have zero content to offer. you have zero to offer
  9. I found out the hard way orange seal does not like to be installed with the syringe. All the little particles of confetti/glitter stuff rushes to the valvestem and clogs the hose just as you're giving it a good push and blows the hose off. The resulting cleanup required was nothing short of a snuff film gone wrong.
  10. Remember those fingers hypocrite? You came before them. What type of world are you and your generation leaving behind?
  11. Project much? Youve been trolling with copy/paste/posts and vaporware bike projects for years. A quick search on mojo will outline all your posts asking for advice on upgrades that you never had any intention of doing, just to get attention, then arguing with the very same people trying to help you. That's trolling. Sorry, but i've finished every bike project I started. Want to clear the air? Start a poll and see how many people appreciate your content. A little self discovery? Let the numbers speak for themselves.
  12. So let me get this straight. You like being someone who trolls forums where nobody likes you?
  13. If see a DI poke someone in the chest then you'd get the joke. But since you're trying to change the narrative to play victim to and flag this, you can get bent. This isn't Facebook kitty
  14. That wasnt directed towards you, or anyone else, so let it go. Also, you wouldn't know cool if someone sh*t it down your neck.
  15. Think about when you lay down at night, and how much you wish you had a functional pancreas and normal blood sugar levels. That's how much we want you to leave.
  16. So basically using my past experiences to avoid turning an entire forum against me?
