I approve. No, but I can build it for me..... I'm about 3/4 done. All that really remains is bleeding the brakes. The LBS guy gave me the orange cable housing.

a bunch of numbers Posted March 15, 2016 Share #4 Posted March 15, 2016 I don't see a fork and a kickstand. It will be a little difficult to ride without those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had carbon chainstays (mean nothing to me). My wife and I bought similar bikes. While we were waiting for them to get them ready I called and asked to have kick stands put on them. They refused, I was pissed and said I would not buy the bikes if they wouldn't. They refused, so I bought the bikes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the bike show last weekend, I saw someone pushing a new carbon fiber fat bike out the door. Yup, it had a kickstand on it. I wished I had my camera with me when I saw that.

"Salsa Makwa fork". No, it's a Salsa Shaft. I have no need for a dropper. It's off SO's bike. I haven't decided yet if I want a straight block or setback post, so until I ride it a bit, I'm going with that. (And before you ask, that POS steel handlebar is for display purposes only - the RaceFace one hadn't come in when I took the picture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I can't live without a fork with some dampening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sort of twice...and once wasn't my fault. Checked direction on the back one three times, Put it on backwards anyway. Took it off, flipped it around and reinstalled it. Found out LBS guy -whose knowledge is legendary- gave me the wrong size specs for the rotors. Instead of the 160/180 rotors he told me I needed, it's 140/160.....which means I had to go buy another rotor, take the one off the front, put it on the shelf, take the one off the back, put it on the front and put the new one on the back. which brings up a point - anyone need a SRAM Centerline 180 rotor? (And the brake adapters I bought that I didn't need...) Free to good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there's terrain suitable for a dropper post, but I don't go looking for it. For anything steep I ride, I can hang my fat ass off the back, well enough.

That only applies to adult's toys. Bicycles are children's toys. Doncha' know nuffin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
