is that the velvet that goes 26'er and 650b?

 

Reason I ask is that I have a white one like that running in 26'er guise and 140mm travel. As I understand it, you have to add spacers to run the 650b wheels and this reduces travel to 130mm.

 

Just make sure.

 

I image that if they are reducing travel, it would be to reduce the risk of the top of the tyre striking the arch or frame at full compression ..... this could result in a fall similar to your snapped rigid carbon fork experience.

Ragley marley?

errr, that's my getto crown race setting tool. Plumber's pipe . The 'Marley' branding is from the pipe's manufacturer. Go figure.

Not an ss then.

Sadly not. With my legs, if it was an ss, the bike would just not fulfill it's intended purpose as an "All-Mountain" machine..

To to clean up and varnish those floors :P

Just be glad my priorities are in order:

1) bikes

2) bike apparel

3) bike maintenance

4) food on the table

5) home maintenance. maybe..

picked up these for cheap and decided to continue the anodized blue detail, much to some folk's dismay..  :ph34r:

 

Hope Pro 2 Evo.
