Finally took the plunge and put a 36 on.

Also got this nifty little thing, makes shifting SO much better.

What would the nifty thing be called? Can it be installed on any derailure?

Not a purchase... but a gift from a buddy...

Interesting to see the Adidas co-branding (FiveTen's parent company) on the shoe and the box.

They're super comfy, and look so good I don't really want to ride with them  :ph34r: :lol: They may become my "pump track and dirt jump only" FiveTens

 

This marks my 8th pair of FiveTens (and the first new pair in 5yrs. Still LOVE my Impact VXi's for riding).

Bday pressy to myself. My mile grinding 'touring' mtb (not done yet):

 

ONLY one in the country :D

 

- Soma Valhallen 27+/29" XL steel frame (hypegrey metallic)

- Carver 490 Trail Carbon Boost fork

- Silver Hope Boost bling to match

- Yes those are silver DB spokes :thumbup: ,they also exist  and are awesome because you all have black  spokes and are sheeple :P )

- Praxis BB

- Latest spec Schwalbe HD 29x2.6 Got these as allrounders..'jack of all trades master of none' lol. Blue compound/Addix/Apex/snakeskin

- some super nice Oveja Negra (coincidence?) frame bags so i can rid myself of the backpack that carries two bikes (wifey's too) worth of spares

 - Look x-track pedals and some spaz comp mtb shoes

 

rest was 'scavenged' off my Cotic

 

thanks so far: Everyday Cycle Supply, Evobikes, Stoke, Gravel & Tour, BMC.

It’s a Bike Yoke Shifty, can be put on pretty much any SRAM derailleur.

Howzit? Where did you order this from?

Got this for my son.

 

During our Wednesday ride I again SAW the benefit of a 1x for kids.

 

It was a magical ride in the mist !!  BUT, it also meant Maritz was out of his comfort zone ...  And as soon as he gets rattled he faffs with the gears too much, and start shifting the front either too early or too late, further messing with is rythm ....

 

 

And looking at the cost a 1x system it is even more impressive to see the price of these bikes !!

Nice upgrade to my brakes courtesy of a fellow hubber:

 

50-AF34-B2-DA07-4-C30-871-F-E15-E53-DD5-

 

Check if it has had the warranty/recall repair..........

Great brakes, I have the same but they just went soft and spongy and needed the internals replaced, at no cost as I had the original purchase invoice. Something swells inside when exposed to heat, or something like that, was a while ago.
