t0-ster's stable

will be excellent.

Also, im not saying you should, but if you do go 10 speed ever, the SRAM X0 would suit this very well

Ur right, that would look good! I like the aesthetic and concept of running the xtr rear mech, but so flimsy compared to srams nice loud clicks.

Theres a lot of play in the xtr, so i need to see if i can fix that to get shifting better.

Anyone heard of a way to increase tension in the spring pulling on the cage around the pulleys, to decrease chain slap?

more tension on the B screw, no?

I used parktool's maintenance tutorial for shimano derailleurs to increase spring tension on my ultegra mech.

Nice, this is what i need, thanks. Let the dissection begin..

@spotter yea that does in theory add tension, but its main function is to set the correct distance between the top pulley wheel and cogs for optimal shifting depending on cassette range. #notamechanicjustanerd

Litespeed got a new fork from China ebay (445mm a-c) which look to fit the bill. The frame has clearance for 27.5x2.25, and looks better proportioned than with 26.

This is gonna be a super light gravel thing, 1x10, sweepy adventure bar of some sort, and the wheels (in the photo) from my Ti adventure/touring bike, which i'll then build a new set for.

• White Ind M16 polished silver hubs on Dartmoor cruiser (40mm outer width) rims. A bit undecided on the rims, but they seemed cheap and wide and not super heavy.
  
  

Next update is on the Marin 26" im gonna make into a functional daily.

Sorry @Simba but it's gonna get a disc tab welded on the back.
1x9 sram
pizza rack
sweepy moto bars of some sort
a combination of blue and purple ano parts
blue CK hubs and silver trials rims
a fuck ton of stickers <3

i've always wanted a sticker bombed bike, but havent had the guts. Now after @bankiren made a generous donation to my collection, i feel its time.

Strong posting

Rad bike, jealous of the workshop, is that at home?

Obvious choice for the Litespeed is Ritchey Carbon Bullmoose, for that full on weightweenie build.

Would be fun to send you some stickers to contribute to the project :)

Thanks, yes its one of the rooms in my 79 sqm apartment. #priorities

True, that could be pretty cool! But maybe also a step too far haha

Yaaaayy send stickers (everyone) ♡♡♡

Thanks @Hulsroy

Probably!

Can't wait to see how these two are going to turn out! (Needless to say I'm more hyped for the Marin :P)

Oops. Just added my 6th titanium bike to the stable.. this one almost counts for 1 and a half..

Ti Cargo bike?

Was lucky to get one of the Omnium Ti Minimax frames with sliding drops. Clears a 27.5 x 2.1 easy!

awyiss

You know it <3

Just saw this on IG. It was about time!

Sick!
