Wolverine Owners Club

mis agradecimientos, compadre

vielen Dank-just spinning my Jon bon Jovies is great, doing it in such nice surrounds and on totally chilled infrastructure is a huge bonus.

Had a trip into the Harz 'mountains' the last few days but sadly without bike, looks like a great spot for riding though-very quiet and sport orientated too with lots of off-road tracks used for cross country skiing during the winter that could be easily hijacked by some knoblies...

Just received my new frameset!!!

Wow, what's going on with the rear stays? Are they bracing them now?

New v.2.1 has stiffening plates added near the dropouts. We also switched up the welding method to keep more of the tube's overall strength.

I guess they do!

Drank the 1x kool-aid with the XT 11-42 cassette, rival 1 shifters / brakes and force 42T crankset. Feels like a new bike

It's like the SRAM version of mine. Same rubber, too

Cross post from "Tell us about your weekend ride", complete with sealant sticking to the back and a subsequent inner tube inserted into the rear wheel.

First ride this weekend! An overnight ride with friends.

That looks like bikepacking 101

Bikepacking 101?

Like the quintessential intro into Bikepacking. Everything you need to know in one good looking picture

:)

And here is the badboy with his new wheels! 650b Hunt wheelset with Maxxis crossmark tires!

How wide are those?

2.1!!

How close with that fork?

Still some space for mud!

Looks great on the new wheels.
Can I ask what size is the frame / what height are you?

thanks

Thanks!
I'm 1m76 and it's a 52. I may change the stem for 90mm (or 100).

Where are people ordering these from? Seems I could get one for £450 from the US but I'd be a bit concerned that it was the wrong size or if there was a warranty issue.

I think cyxkeworx is the only place in the UK you can get them.

That's £600 though, not sure it's worth an extra £150 just to have it from the UK...

They have them here: https://hugbikeshop.fi/kauppa/soma-wolverine-runko?lang=en&attribute_pa_koko=58cm-en&attribute_pa_vari=pumpkin-orange-en but I don't speak Finnish and I don't think it works out any cheaper considering there's no fork included

Edit: argh, no forks with the US seller, it's just on the picture. With the fork it's £550.

Cheap on eBay at the moment...

Older frames without the bracing.

They've actually removed the bracing again in the V3:

However that doesn't mean the V2.0s don't have a problem

What are thooose 😱
