New. +/- 6 degrees. 80mm. 31.8mm clamp. $30 and it’s yours.

These are now sold after a long time.

Any word on these after some more riding time? lots of reviews claim they stretch like hell, get loose in the tire and make weird noises.

Sunday post ride refreshment.

Post 33 mile adventure ride on the salsa fargo.

I’ve never owned a Marin bike, but they’re doing some nice things all over the spectrum. Anyone here have experience with them? Wonder how the quality and workmanship is.

Yours for the taking. Just the cranks, just the chainring, or the set. Cranks for $55 . Chainring for $20. Both for $70. cranks: https://austin.craigslist.org/bop/d/cedar-park-truvativ-sram-eagle/7112410590.html chainring: https://austin.craigslist.org/bop/d/cedar-park-sram-gx-eagle-30t-chainring/7112410680.html

Here on gravel bike. PP and picnic are no go right now. Hung the chain on PP. Maybe g2g mid-late afternoon.

I’ve seen them pretty much every ride since the lockdown (2-4 rides a week). Only saw them in action once breaking up a large crowd of punk kids, so I think that’s all they’re doing.

Only thing I’ll buy from Karbach these days.

Ikon+ The Ikon is a huge hit in the XC world, but unfortunately they stopped making them in + version recently since everyone is preferring the Rekon+ (which was built from a hybrid of the Ikon and the minions). I snagged these on a killer deal on eBay.

If you ride Brushy or similar 80% of the time, buy something that is fit for Brushy. If you ride spider mtn or similar 80% of the time, buy something that is fit for spider mtn. IMO buying a bike for the 3 weekends a year you go to spider/Moab/Durango is a bad decision. Been there, done that.

Great morning out there!

While I’m not the biggest BSS fan, I ordered and paid for some sealant and gloves online from them and swung by the Parmer location on the bike today to pick them up. They were incredibly busy, so while things may be slow overall they’re not suffering too much during all of this. People dropping bikes off for tune up. Picking bikes up. Swinging by the buy lube. Swinging by for new gloves and sealant (me). Someone was there picking up a new kids bike and they were test riding in the parking lot. Happy to see all that!

Brand new with only 30 miles of new bike shakedown rides on these. Tubeless compatible. Light fast rolling casing. I ended up having to go with 2.8s to accomplish what I wanted, so these will do me no good hanging in the garage. $45 takes the pair.

That is correct for my 1x Apex setups. Left hand is just a brake lever (Apex hydraulic on one, Apex/TRP mechanical on the other) and the right hand is brake and rear shifting. Check out pink bikes road/gravel for sale section. Lots of good prices on parts there.

As far as I understand, the steerer tube will be 1-1/8 straight or 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 tapered. Either one leaves your stem grabbing onto 1-1/8. So yes, I think any stem will fit including that PNW you linked.

I’ve got too much time on my hands. Only things missing: Revelate top tube bag Revelate seat tube bag Chain guide Lizard skin chain stay protector

Pretty sure it should work fine with a set is Shimano hoods/levers. Make sure the hydraulic cable is the same diameter, but other than that I don’t know why not. They function the same.

This is a byproduct of me being bored, anxious, and having monthly expenses were 25% of what they usually are due to this lockdown. Bars are 44cm Woodchipper 2’s. Here’s the link to the build: https://salsacycles.com/bikes/fargo/2018_fargo_rival_1_27.5 Snagged on closeout for 26% off. Happy about that. Obviously I added the dropper, lever and fork on my own, but it was still a killer deal for a bike I’ve been searching for a deal on for over a year.

New bike day. Steel is real. 100mm fox 32 should be delivered today also. Decided to stay with 100mm rather than go to 110 or 120mm. Just feel like I’ll have it locked out a good bit on this bike, so stuck to factory spec. Ready to rip anything. Want some type of chain guide, may do the PNW one but it’s expensive. Just ordered a lizard skin chain protector and a Revelate designs top tube bag. Setting up tubeless tomorrow and my ISSI pedals will he here tomorrow also. Should be a fun bike. ETA: fork came in. I was worried this ridiculous 3.0 tire would fit in a non-boost 29er fox 32, but the bastard fits! Will take/add a few pics tomorrow.

Cleaning out a few things. Pair of plastic bottle cages. Pair of slip on syncros grips. Pair of flat pedals

Checks out.
