ORBO R2M2 or Rocky Mountain Resto Mod

I went back to the shed after work and spent another half hour tinkering.
So far so good.

Unfortunately, an IS/PM 180mm adapter for the frame doesn't work on a fork with an IS mount and a 180mm disc and I can't find a suitable one anywhere in my shed. So I'll have to rummage through the parts box of my favorite bike shop tomorrow at noon to see if I can find something.

Otherwise I'm excited and can't wait to ride the lil' kerfuffle.
I like the name and I think it fits quite well.

Does anybody know if there was a longer hite rite available?

Love the look of that machine. The big tires definitely help!

I have got to check how that 'hite rite' works. Interesting.

I feel like I have a shorter one than others...

Just look at that.

I could make a joke or two about this...

But instead...
Yes, they originally came in 2 different spring lengths, Standard is 3" and Extra Long is 4.5".

And just a little wisdom for life in general:
"Comparison is the thief of joy"

Sure, some guys have bigger ones, but you can still have fun with your little thing.


Phew. Am I ever glad I avoided all those jokes

If it were longer I could of course push it further in and out but @MattiThundrrr you're right, I'll have fun that way too...

And thanks for the info! The hite rite info!

I learned something else today. These two adapters are both for IS to PM for 180mm brake rotors only one for the fork and one for the frame.

Frame adapters IS/PM 180mm work on the fork as IS/PM 203mm, by the way, in case anyone is interested.
