@madstace Other than one that was locked up in front of the optometrists in town about two years ago, I'd never even felt the Pinion grip shift prior to purchase. It was riding a friend's bike with a Shimano Alfine hub, and using the grip shifter on that, that made me go "what on earth is the fuss all about?!".
You're welcome to come twist my grip and see for yourself. But I knew it wouldn't be a problem from owners accounts beforehand, and it's yet to present itself as one for me yet.
Anyway, Newcastle end of the year!

Last time I rode any Michelin product was when Comp 16&24's ruled the dirt on 26" rims. Then marketing...I mean Maxxis was king for a while.
On a 30mm internal rim, you can definitely feel the transition from center to edge compared to a DHF. Very predictable and braking traction is exceptional.

Are they really heavy?

I've used a stem in the same brand. Not really concerned with weight just how extra rise feels. Presently running 19mm..

The point is, if they are heavy they won't snap.

Had the day off with an injured offspring, so some time was spent in the garage (such a good dad, right?)
New shock on the spider. Not convinced it's better than the ccdb inline but better to try it and know for sure I figure. Feels firmer with the same sag and definitely more support towards the end of its travel, the weekend will tell if these are positive things.
New cranks and tyres on the tracer, as well as a cheap eBay rear mudguard. Not sold on the guard yet, see how much cleaning it saves on the next muddy ride.
And found some wheels for that ghost build, so far we have a ghost amr with Xfusion slants and stans flow on 3.30HD. getting less likely by the minute that this will find its way to my mates garage...

As long as it's got tension at the top end that's fine.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Pulled apart Pivot Mach 429 which I'm building up for wife's birthday. Upper linkage bearings are ok but lower linkage bearings are shagged and tiny. Anyone heard of a needle bearing conversion for Pivot linkages?

How much was the mast and how easy to swap over?New mast and cart fitted on the LEV Integra means I can rid the Spitty of the Reverb....
