Why did I wait so long?

Back is a bit stiff today though.

Wish someone would make a 15mm QR rigid fork for 1 1/8 steerers and 26″ wheels.

Resisting the impulse to tinker, but it would be nice to shorten those hoses a bit.

Cool story bro.

It is fun, I found putting a chunky front tyre on really helped the way the bike felt, 2.5 Chunky Monkey made the bike far nicer when the ground is hard and rooty.

What forks are you running? Is clearance an issue? I’ve got a 2.35 Hans Dampf spare. Currently running 2.25 Nic and 1.85 Rocket Ron on the rear. Feels fine, but squirms a bit cornering.

Would look better with a ‘Niner’ style carbon fork ,but there good fun either way.

Did think that. Unfortunately budget constraints struck. May sell the current ones and replace with the On One copies at some point. Any idea what size tyre it will take front/rear? Seems like a 2.35 will not go on the front though.

On one carbon monocoque fork, plenty of clearance.

Dhana, you’ll get a dampf in them forks no problem

Cheers man. Just back from my second ride! Woohoo! This is the shizzle.

needs bar ends

Them’s for squares man.

Everybody sees the way in the end.

You have seen the light and found your way.

Why did you wait so long?

Them’s for squares man.

THE YOUR FUTURE:

They make better shocks than bar ends, for sure.

Metal, anodized, sharp, like they used to be. That’s a bar end.

❓

Tis very nice and a superb colour of yellow as well

Thanks man.

What do these bar ends remind you of?

I’m worried I’ll be made redundant if the wife sees these on the bike.
