Intense Tracer Build Up

[Flowta]

And the final product.

 

New crankset with 30 tooth narrow wide guy. Zee Shifter and derailleur. the correct rear wheel and tire on. No front derailleur. Oh and I turnde the handle bar mount on the dropper upside down.

 

 

 

You're still missing the 38t rear sprocket, then it'll be complete!

Hahaha. That's a good thing. She won't recognize when you build a new one.

Yeah..... I looked and they don't have one in my color so I'm gonna have to go with no.

 

Loving the 1x10 thing. Went for a ride at Tokai now. I hit that rock jump on DH3 fully pegged for the first time ever on a single crown bike. Felt super smooth and the step down step up into the quarry also felt super smooth.

 

The bike does rock back & forth a bit but i fiddled with the rear rebound and I think it's a click or 2 too slow hence the unbalanced feeling. Gonna just experiment a bit there. On the whole I could not be happier. Now all we need is that fking snow to go away and it to be July.

I got all of 100m of riding in before pfffffssstttt. The 100m felt great tho. There were 5 mechanicals that I saw this morning. 4 flats and a blown linkage bearing. I guess Madiba want's us to take the day off and do some relaxing.

 

Saw Tony up there. The bit that I did see he already looks faster on the new bike. Damn that Reign is one Hot bike. Anyone selling one is a fool...... Especially for 7k with a crankset and color matching Bell AM lid thrown in.

Actually, I don't have all the technical terminology for the ride....suffice to say...*&&*^&)*_)(_(I&$$# AWESOME.... glorious!!! Shock settting is a bit soft but easily modified for my frame, I'm sure! Flats will take getting used to...just so used to being connected to the bike....

Upgrade (possible on this bike???!!!) = adjustable seatpost.

 

If Omega Man hadn't had some tech, I would have done a clean run top to bottom, but you gotta stop and shoot the breeze with mates now don't ya!?

 

BTW, love the Roots, man! Flipping good work y"all!

 

More to come...Jonkers tomorrow Yeaaarrgggghhhh! Stop me if you can!

Had such a rad ride at Jonkers now. now. Once again the flabby bit on top of the bike was the weak link in the chain. Absolutely loving the 1x10. It feels like there's no drivetrain friction at all.

 

had a little OTB on the double drop thingy at the top of the new trail Bennet built. Luckily I landed on my head preventing and injury to anything of actual use. And my beautiful tracer got her first scratch in the process which I'm not very happy about.

 

BUT OMG. Jonkershoek is AMAZING! Please anyone. If you've not been there before go. Go with someone who knows the trails but go.

 

This is my last post in this thread. The bike is built. It's fun to ride. I've even had my first crash on it so mission accomplished.
