  1. Just need to get the LBS to swap the QR -hub for the thru axle hub on the Wide Lighting then the new Drop-outs will go on in this space . . .
  2. Santa brought me this all the way form Canada!! Thu Axle dropouts for Mr. E. Mariachi.
  3. Fork!! This is "trouser incident stuff"!!
  4. Sorry. I was so exited by the build. Saw in later pics it was not . . . .
  5. Niner fork lurking there? A blue on black paint scheme can look good.
  6. Swift should have used the Evil Twin and Detritivore and only ride unpaved roads. That would be the ultimate promotion for their MTB's
  7. Honey !!! Now where did I put that R136 499.00??
  8. 1 X 9 Cotic Soda, just after I built it up. Brake lines still needed trimming.
  9. Bought my Garmin Edge 500 2 weeks ago for R3965.00 for the bundle. Think I found some old stock. But most places is R4200.00 and over.
  10. Nice!! On my El Mariachi, I use A nine speed chain. Vitiora Barzo 2.25 tires. They are about only 650-Gram a tire I think. ( I stand corrected on the weight) But the Barzo is on Wide Lightning rims so they ended a bit more than 2.25.
  11. All is good and well with cooperating IF/WHEN when they do only take the phone, cash, bike, car, flatscreen or whatever. So on the bicycle , if it is only myself, I cooperate. Perhaps, of topic, but if my family is threatened, and harm to them is imminent, there will be no surrender, even if I go with. It can go so many ways . . .
  12. Man!! Congratulations with that ride!! It is AWESOME!! Even when I was building my Salsa El Mariachi, I was drooling over picture and lusting for that exact ride. That Karate Monkey is just makes you instantly uber cool!. I am honestly jealous!!
  13. Dude!! Nice Bike . Same as mine . . rims and all. I just added a riser Bar.
  14. With the next generation cyclist in the house (and another one on the way ) I unfortunately have no choice but to know this stuff.
  15. Dual suspension MTB SS? Like this? http://cyclemonkeylab.blogspot.com/2014/03/monkey-ride-neils-oxide-battleaxe-all.html
  16. That one thing looks like a Nuk breast pump.
  17. Very good looking ride that!!
  18. Been pondering/dream about a Monster Cross form time to time. Would like to able to take my current rigid trail bike and monster it with minimum input. Something like slapping on some drop bars and Shimano road cockpit and off I go. But have the follow questions regarding the current Shimano Road Hydraulic leaver/shifter assemblies. 1. Is the brake hose, gland, retaining/lock screw assemble the same as in the current Shimano XT spec. In other words, will I be able to disconnect my XT brake levers and connect the hoses to Shimano Road Hydraulic brakes, bleed, and Bob's your uncle. 2. Will a 10- or 11-speed hydraulic road brake/shifter shift a 10- or 11-speed XT rear derailleur properly? Thanks in advance to the gurus . .
  19. I though Frank was pulled from commentating about the Tour De France.
  20. Jip, so true. Thanks Sh. . .t Happens if an "ou ballie" watch to much World Cup Down Hill on Sundays, and then think his 29er will behave on the jumps like his BMX did when he was 17 . . . .
  21. Had follow up today. Before and after. No trails on the rigid SS for a while.
  22. And? How do you like it?
  23. Not sick, but came down hard yesterday. (Been Watching to much Downhill on Sundays) Will be off the bike for some weeks.
  24. That is one GOOOOOD looking bike!! (the only bike that I'll trade my Salsa for.)
  25. Does not matter what dropper post you get, your riding and enjoyment will go up a notch or two.
