MAJs gay bikes [she’s in her fitness era]

if im feeling extra wild might even spring for some tubless tyres

What dropper am I buying?

Anything that doesn't say 'Rockshox' on it

My brain's too hot to figure out the measurement, but probably this 170mm one

If that's too long, then this 150mm one

Stopping at traffic lights will never be the same again

yeeeesss 170 would fit after a remeasure, can convert my bike to a chopper any time

Don't forget the Paul Components dropper lever...

i like to think paul expects you to use this with his quick release seat clamp; tall and handsome post, a deconstructionist statement

the brand x one comes with a lever which makes it a clear winner

why is it so hard to find

1) what size caliper bolts i need for my fork
2) a place to buy said parts

i believe i need

2 m6x20mm socket head bolts for the is to post mount bracket on the rear brake
2 m6x25mm socket head bolts for the post mount fork

but cannot find them online - just need to buy four bolts!

guess i should go to the lbs, but i have been busy!!!

hoping to get it all done for next week or so - go on a ride round epping , worst comes to worst i drop it all off at the lbs and let them finish it

Any fastener supplier will have these, for example:

https://www.gwr-fasteners.co.uk/m6-x-25mm-socket-cap-head-screws---high-tensile-129-zinc-plated-70543-p.asp

I've bought from them in small quantities before, no problem. But there are hundreds of online fastener factors.

This comes with the added bonus of your bike being posted on the sbccycles insta page :-)

thank you! "fastner supplier" was the term needed - google has just been showing me large hardwear stores or trade sites!

as in "lmao ,customer just bought in this wreck! "

ok dropper enroute

bolts enroute

build......next week!?!?!!? some time?!!?!?!!?!?!!

hopefully in time to get it to sbc for a fork service

i done some more measurements and ended up going for the 150mm dropper, which seems.....sufficient???

Back to 2015 with you

Plenty

if im feeling extra wild might even spring for some tubless tyres

do eeet. For me, the same OMG YESSSS bike moment as using clipless.

(you may have already gone t00ble55 on another bike in another thread I dunno, but apologies if so, I can't read everything on here dammit).

Everyone told me there were no downsides to sizing up when I got my frame!!! 😭😭😭

I'm unfamiliar with this 'sizing up' you speak of

Insert pic of tall bike/massive 36er

massive 36er

Maybe when I'm fully grown

Got all the parts, bike shop tomorrow!!

\o/

I see you're fitting some serious upgrades!
