Didn't even consider the prospect of my shoe fouling with the bolt head. Thank god it clears.

Nice kicks, are you wearing a jumper around your waist?
Speaking of boots, your crank arms need some.

And I'm pondering if I can retrofit an E:i style system to the epic. Piss off the brains brass mass.

Bike was in a stand, perspective makes it hard to tell what's going on.

Like a thin piece of rubber is going to help crank strikes so bad the bike gets lifted up. Way I see it, cranks will sacrifice theirselves before the frame.

Thin bits of rubber could have stopped your very existence; sometimes you just gotta respect the rubber!

Only way to stop this fuckwit going for a ride without the battery is to zip tie the rear brake on when I remove the battery for charging.

You seem to know yourself well.

Wait till I jump on "what the fuck is wrong with the rear brake, god damn it"

At least they won't be spongy after doing the ghetto bleed.

I leave an elastic band on both brake levers occasionally overnight and it does help.

These Guides were fully overhauled and vacuum bled. No air in these suckers. They are dynamite.

No messing around on your part.

I just wish I could speed up as quick as a handful of brake can slow me down.

Finally ordered spokes, nipples and washers to build up the carbonfan rims.

Front wheel almost laced up

I thought asymmetrical meant I could use 27 spokes in a 32 hole rim.

So confused

Hope quality isn't what it once was.

Blue anodise does not match between front and rear hubs. The laser etching is off by 2/3rds a spoke hole, laced up half a dozen spokes a few times to check hub clocking, one must line up the hope text to the valve hole to be taken seriously.

Nice! Now go and ruin it by adding a cushcore.
