DJ A slopestyle bike on steroids (NS soda fr 1)

So, the hanger finally showed up yesterday.

The zee has been installed and the chain is as long as it can be with it not flopping on the hardest gears

(And yes @moorey, i did zip tie the cable down)

Did you disconnect the shock and check the chain at full compression yet?

It is precariously short if there is a hint of chain growth….

There is no chain growth in the first 100mm of travel, and I doubt I will be using more than that in first

 

[Mattyp]

Best you order that spare hanger

 

[moorey]

I’ll prepare a spot in the confessional…

Looks pretty close to horizontal, makes me uncomfortable, I'm just going to cover my eyes till it's over

They're a remarkably sturdy derailleur tho, it'll laugh off whatever killed that sram unit.

@Lucaw, please measure it and I’ll see if I have a longer 10sp spare. I don’t want any more @HamboCairns style ‘why did my derailleur snap?’ threads.

Damn that is tight dude. When on your 11t are you able to adjust the derailleur to take out some of the slack rather than having it so tight at the top there?

 

[Lucaw]

It’s fine

Does anyone know where I may be able to find a file of the hanger so I can mill it out on the router at school?
I really don't want to have to draw it up

Just email NS, they may have it. The other option is to hit them up on Facebook via messenger.

I will try that

Quick update on this, it’s no longer mine. I sold it to my little brother because I preferred riding the craftworks and he seems to be enjoying it

 

[pink poodle]

He seems to be having a pretty good time!

He is loving it, and is feeling more confident on it. We are going to convince him to send the Waverley double in the next few days

Is that a double that stretches all the way from Tasmania to Waverley? That is a pretty big gap!

Yeah, it is pretty big, but with enough speed I’m sure he could clear it. On second thoughts, maybe we shouldn’t talk him into it because i can’t stand seeing totems sink in the ocean

They actually float. An amazing thing about totems. Such a great fork.

 

[Lucaw]

My brother comes to me and says that there is play in the rear end when he picks it up. Well, I discovered he has snapped his shock bolt

Lbs were absolutely useless, saying that they don’t stock parts for boutique bikes. No I have to figure out what to do to get him back riding

 

[mooboyj]

Nuts and bolts in Moonah or take it to McBains. McBains is where I found that axle for you, the tech there has a heap of random bits and pieces out back.
