Wayne pudding Mol Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 R2 bikes in Germany, they one of a few shops that sort of carry stock, if you order direct expect 3-6 month waitI have some on order from trickstuff but the piccolos which I ordered in September - they hope to send in April. I did get a set from R2 but it was the last set at the time.

Duane_Bosch Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) UCI XCC XC and DHA week in MorzineA week in Lenzerheide #passportsplease Welcome to the life of an Alpine Junkie. THERE IS NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING here that can prepare you for just how ridiculously good it is over there. The nameless commute trails between the parks there are better than the best trails in Jonkers. I'm not exaggerating. I arrive 14th. We get in to Geneva at 10.30. I'm going to have a kit to change into in the airport shuttle. Build the bikes in 5 minutes. On the lift by 2. Can easily bam out 3500m of descent in those 3 hours. EVERY SINGLE MTB purchase and decision from here on out will be based around your next trip to the Alps. Yes you will be going back. Again. And Again. And..... Again. The NUMBER ONE piece of advice I have for you from here on out is to STAY INJURY FREE!!! Don't try and turn yourself into a WC pro between now and then. You'll just end up hurting yourself. For training I'd recommended a spot of aligator wrestling and bashing your hands with a light hammer for 6 hours a day. Seriously tho. Get one of those hand squishy things and get pumping. Also work on forearm strength and do lots of push pull type stuff before then. Even then you are going to kuk. But it's a good pain. You'll be bummed when it's gone. I don't like drugs but I hit 2 anti inflams in the evening and 1 in the morning. Edited March 20, 2019 by Duane_Bosch Meezo 1

But the arm pump from even attempting a Red Phoenix 1,2 and 3 non stop destroys the hands and arms.

Reme Le Hane Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Been tossing back on forth on that 1x, was going to wait till I got a 12spd cluster, but what the hell. I figure worst case I become a stronger climber... Eventually. Do I buy the chain gaurd like nowish or wait to see if the chains gonna keef falling first. Probably could take a link or 2 out as well... Scott Spark 930 (2018) MTB Vids: ltstyt.be/@remelehane henningvr and Andrew_Smith 2

You don't need a chain guide, if your chain length is right the chain will stay on with a narrow wide ring. BSG and Reme Le Hane 2

You don't need a chain guide, if your chain length is right the chain will stay on with a narrow wide ring.I'm not the strongest of riders and live in Groot Brak Rivier, so anyway out of town has got hills to start with and I'm running a 30t which is ok, would've liked to have a 32t to test as I'm spinning out just over 30 - 35km/h on straights or down hill. But my chainring bolts are 96mm (I think if I'm correct) and not the 104mm (normal size) which makes getting nw chainrings difficult. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk ChrisF 1

Sent from my VTR-L09 using TapatalkNo, csixx and lynne have 96bcd in 30,32,34 and 36 as well as 32 and 34 in oval. I literally bought that 96bcd 30t yesterday.

The new ones I think is the 7000 etc series if I'm not mistaken? Please correct me if I'm wrong because then I will be able to get a 32T. And by the way, I did the conversion myself with this my second bike, also added a 40t and 16t if correct on my cassette and only adjusted the b screw and I haven't even once had my chain slipping or falling off. With no chain guard. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk Edited March 23, 2019 by BSG
