The ThundrrrFleet

The beast is back in town...
Don't you mess me around

I don't think I really realized just how light this thing is . Compared it to my other aluminum MTB, even though Monolith has one casette gear and one crank pulley, no derailleurs, shifters or cabling, v brakes instead of disks, and a coil shock with no damping, the Brodie is stil weighs less.

Inspired by all the success elsewhere in the fleet (the Curse continues, Brodie still ain't right), I cabled up the RockRat. Just need to put a chain on and tune up the derailleurs, and a pair of grips, and it's a functional bike.

Some assembly required

I didn't like the way the left thumbies was operating on RockRat, felt backwards. The cable run on Deerheads are reversible, so I took em apart and moved the little plastic plug from one side to the other
Before

after

Little change, huge difference, they point in the right direction now. I tried them under the bar, but it felt awkward

Used a pair of tiny zip ties to hold the chain together so I didn't have to struggle with that while operating the chain pin tool

It's a complete bike again. Just a little fiddling around maybe shortening a couple of cables
