Edgelord

[gowjobs]

Oh, I love following your work, I am sorry if you thought I meant anything else.

Oh, no. I was just using it as an excuse to channel the "Edgelord" persona that I have been using for posts about this build.

Maybe they SHOULD BE AFRAID (muahahaha)

I like it much better than what these usually look like.
It has that moto look that I drool over.
Also cool crankset!

cranks - awesome
sprocket - killer
bars - stellar
seat - crusty


Just noticed the tab on the lower triple. For a light i would assume? Planning to use it?

Much better brother!! You only had a thumbnail ride pic before. Now with the full size ones we can really see this busting out like Kool Aid!!!! Love this killer build!!!

Looks pretty good, but can be better.

 

[OddJob]

You've got time to 'make it better'. But it's pretty kool the way it stands right now.

Taking full advantage of global warming before some environmentalist takes it away.

Time for the flash to start. Looking forward to seeing your finish work!

Brother gowjobs, be warned, they're listening.

I shot clear on it on Sunday, and haven't even looked at it since. I wanted to give the urethane a few days to harden up (like my edgy heart).

Hey @OddJob , I picked up a CR-7 F&F recently. Going to give it a 1x9 drivetrain and run tubeless, I think.

Dave, that is really cool! You know, mine has the 2.2 Fattrax tires on the 26" hoops, and there is quite a bit b of room left in the stays and the fork legs. I've actually been contemplating doing a vintage mtb with 27.5 rim and tire combo. If you are intrigued at all, and have access to try a fit I'm curious how it might work out.

Please keep me posted on your CR7 journey!

Keep us all posted. OJ too. I wanna see that 27.5 conversion!

I put Edgelord's 650B front wheel in place, but the 2.35 tire isn't going to work. I think gravel tires under 50mm would fit, but no mud clearance. For now, I plan to run 26x2.35.

If I remember right, you live in So Cal. You're worried about 'mud clearance' ?

50 mm would the equivalent of 2.0 width. I think you might be surprised, remember, the rim width will affect the 'shape' of the tire profile.

About 10 yrs ago, when 27.5 / 650b mtb wheels and tires came of age, I put a set on a customer's Trek Fuel full suspension 26er. They fit , and I think we had a 2.1 - 2.2 tire on those. And, if you go tubeless, which in my mind is the only way to go these days, you can adjust the pressure and run them lower, taking up less space. There wasn't a lot of clearance, but they worked. Of course, the geometry was affected a little by the larger circumference on the wheels, but an hour later, he had already adapted and really loved the set up.

There are a lot of good tire options in 650b for sub 2.3 sizes. I've actually been looking and stepping back my 2.35 tires on the monster truck for something lighter and smoother rolling
