MTBc Posted October 16, 2015 Share My first full build from scratch, finished about 2 months ago. From installing the BB bearing to tightening the pedals (excluding the wheel build)... Although the guys at Mellow Velo gave a hand with the headset running 34 x 11-42 with a real brand mixup - Wolftooth DM N/W on Sram crank, kalbo 16t & one up 42t.

henningvr Posted October 16, 2015 Share I joined the 1 x 9 club (yes, I'm several years late to the party ) - Just had my new Raceface 30t NW chainring installed at Singletrack cycles yesterday. Running it with a 11-34 XT casette, XT derailleur and LX shifter. Went for a decent ride today. So far so good!

BSG Posted October 18, 2015 Share It's finally official So much more bike than my limited skillset can handle at the moment, but she gives me a big ****-eating grin every time I get on her, and that's the point of it all... Meet: Penny. p5pb12748165.jpgI see you run a very short stem on your bike, what will the affect be in handling? I have a 90mm stem and flat bar on my Merida full susser, had a raiser handlebar on with the 90mm stem, but put it back on my ht for wife and son who uses it now mostly, I felt much more comfortable with that setup. I'm thinking of leaving the flat bar on my full susser but to put a shorter stem on, no longer than 50mm. I like a more upright riding position because of lower back operations I had. I need advice because it it seems to me that you've got quite good experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need advice because it it seems to me that you've got quite good experience.For what its worth, Myles recommended a shorter stem for (I was aski g the questions) so I took the advise and went from 90mm stem to 60mm stem. Best thing ever!. Handling was so much better and more control. Also went wider on the bars and handling and control was fantastic. Search a thread called Stem 101. Thats the thread where I got all the info. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and RockCoach 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
