The boxed hard tail of Waltly.

[Shorsau]

The price in spreadsheet includes the shifter, but I had to purchase separately from the same guy in Germany. He's still got some gearboxes left by the looks.

Ok... That's a different setup to mine. My axle nut is sort of incorporated into the dropout.

 

[Shorsau]

roger that..yeah saw that setup on the Paragon website. I'm not sure who's supplying who, but the Paragon gear seems identical to what Waltly are using?

 

[Shorsau]

apart from the inserts that is

Here's the setup of my axle @Shorsau...

 

[Shorsau]

Copy @wkkie..that's certainly different to mine. My axle is under the sliding dropout, looks like the same axle though. Paragon inserts have been sitting in Matraville the last few days. Just realised your bike must be upside down.

Just realised your bike must be upside down.

That would sure make for an interesting "flip chip" if you wanted to lower the BB and slacken off the HA.

Brake setup could be an issue though.

Copy @wkkie Just realised your bike must be upside down.

Certainly is... The bike is going through a major change very shortly and it's currently missing the front wheel.

Roger that..have to post some pics. I'm hoping to get the LB carbon rims (with pinion hub) back from the LBS this coming week.

Paragon got the inserts here in just over a week..stoked with the finish

What was the reason for the change @Shorsau?

 

[Shorsau]

The hex on the axle from Waltly started to strip after it bound up on the nut, so decided to go QR @beeb..was still working ok, but had to carry a spanner around to undo the nut if need be.

Plus all this working from home gives me too much internet time

A few spec changes (listed in the original post) recently and they're hasn't been much movement on the PYR's so here's a few recent photos...

Bit of an update, gone to a 50mm stem which is a nicer for for the off-road single track.

And @beeb bang on 435mm in pretty much exactly centre of the dropouts and here's the geometry... https://www.rotorburn.com/forums/index.php?threads/the-boxed-hard-tail-of-waltly.319284/post-3415752

Threw this together for a ride tomorrow. Probably it's last hurrah given I've been bitten by the steel bug!

Full 27.5, one-up 240mm dropper, new PNW Loam carbon bars 38mm rise, 2.5 Aggressor rear and 2.6 DHR2 front with the 170mm 29in Durolux. 15.53kg, so much lighter than the dually! Feels like I'm cheating.

Off to Creswick in the morning.
