  1. 2017 Private Jake asking $1700. Frame is a 51cm, top tube is 53.5cm, 42cm handle bars. Full SRAM Rival 11 speed with cable actuated hydraulic discs TRP HD/RD. FSA carbon seat post, wheels are set up tubeless. Aluminum frame w/carbon fork and sliding dropouts. This would make a great bike packing bike, it has mounts front and rear for bags. Bike shows like new no damage anywhere. More pics available for anyone interested. PM me.
  2. Have you tried a couple of lock washers under those bolts?
  3. eBike this eBike that! What have you guys got against unchecked capitalism? Geez you all sound like a bunch of commies🤣.
  4. You're welcome to take for a spin through Brushy.
  5. I had SLX 11 speed on my hardtail that shifted super smooth very close to Sram. Only downside is the weight penalty. XT and XTR shifters are very similar in feel and action.
  6. Haven't you guys heard that high pivot hardtails are the next big thing!
  7. You're welcome to come take my rig for a spin if you want. XT 12 speed 10-45 with a 32T oval ring up front. Shimano doesn't shift as buttery smooth as Sram, it has a more mechanical feel and action. 12 speed doesn't really make much of a difference for MTB not like for road bikes where being able to keep a consistent cadence is important, 12 speed has a closer ratio between gears allowing you to find the right gear more often and keep your cadence steady. I think 12 speed is a good choice for people who ride a lot of flat land trails where you can spin and like to keep your cadence consistent. Now if you were to go with XT my recommendation would be to go with an XT derailleur and an SLX shifter. My personal opinion is that the SLX shifter feels much smoother more like Sram than the XT shifter does. Is your bike having any shifting issues? If not I would think that the derailleur is still good although I do know that Sram has a tendency to wear out quicker than Shimano mostly at the pivot points which typically leads to poor shifting that adjusting just won't correct. As far as initial cost and cost later down the road for wearable items Shimano wins with Sram being $300-500 for a replacement cassette is just absurd, if weight is a major concern then Sram would be a better choice Sram is typically lighter than Shimano. like I said you can come grab my bike and see how you like it.
  8. Did they explain as to why it's unrepairable?
  9. Anything Chris King is expensive.
  10. She looks pretty worn. If you grab the chain at the front of the ring and pull it away from the chainring you'll be able to get an idea of how worn it is. The chain should stay tight to the ring if you're able to see a gap between the chain and the ring it's probably time for a new one. You should also consider a new chain and cassette especially if it's really worn. On my last bike it was time for a new chain so when I installed the new chain I quickly realized that the chainring was toast. A worn chainring will try to suck a new chain up the backside of the ring. So I preceded to change the chainring only to find out my cassette was toast also as the new chain was trying to skip when pedaled.
  11. I have the same truck only not the crew cab. I like mine a lot but there are some things that I really don't like especially the stupid Sync system. Mine had a front camera issue at five months old and it took like three months to be able to get it looked at. I will say it's impressive how well the truck goes with the four cylinder engine.
  12. I don't think the newer Campy stuff is as serviceable as the older stuff was. I've rebuilt Campy shifters many times. The other great thing about the older Campy shifters is that you can change how many gears you want just by changing out the carrier gear.
  13. A 5.5' truck bed is not a truck bed it's an open trunk.
  14. I've been using 3M 8896 for years with no issues. I think it's like $9 a roll, a roll will do maybe 20 wheels. The rim needs to be clean and dry and like others have said about applying tape you need to keep tension on it to get a good seal. I do two wraps to cover entire rim bed.
  15. OK, let me start by stating I am not anti vax I have been vaccinated. I have also had the virus, Delta strain. I'd also like to say that you do whatever you feel is best for you. But this is information that the mainstream sources have not really promoted. If you watch the video you will see how certain points are omitted and how the main goal is for people to get boosters. Meanwhile there are medical experts that have different opinions. Just some food for thought. So in this The NY Times is stating that boosters may have negative effect on your immune system in one statement but then in another they say go get the booster. This is why I have no faith in the mainstream media or the information that we are being fed. We need to get information from sources that have no dog in the fight. Granted Jimmy can be polarizing and his YouTube channel is how he makes money, but you can't argue with Dr. Campbell his channel is not monetized so he has no agenda aside from educating people with valid information.
  16. Unfortunately all of the protocols don't seem to be helping much. The reality is we will all get covid at some point whether unvaccinated, vaccinated or boosted. Me personally am done with all of the BS that has been associated with this mess. The virus is obviously going to have its way with us. The upside is that it seems to be getting weaker as far as symptoms and complications go. If this is the case @barry might be onto something. What happened to "the vaccine will get us to herd immunity"🤣. What a joke.
  17. About time you came to your senses😂. Good luck hope it helps. It should because it appears they address what other chiropractors don't, which is soft tissue manipulation (not the kind you're thinking of)😂.
  18. Most of these riders will ride these types of features regardless of whether there's money involved or not.
