Eh, starting to get over this already, even though it’s kind of hard to pass up for $437, as I continue to come down from Fender Install Frustration.

Really looking forward to having bike stuff more in a place where I can just do more riding and less working on them, which this doesn’t accomplish. I’d just have to do the same dithering on the Breezer that I’ve already mostly completed on the Sam.

Yeah you have to ask yourself if you really want another project. Especially with a bike that isn’t supposed to be a project.

Oh, it would have still been a project.

Just a cheaper one which might have netted me some cash in the end.

Isn’t this just a lie we tell ourselves? I don’t think I’ve ever made money on a bike project unless I creatively ignored all the things that cost money.

Yep. I’d have to sell a bike to make that happen, which probably wouldn’t happen.

the only way to make money on a bike is to buy one at employee discount and then sell it

even then it can be tough. expensive bikes have been hard for me to sell for money i want locally and ebay is such a gamble. might be easier with facebook classifieds but i won’t get facebook again just to sell a bike each year

DQ/SQ:

So my friend is getting one of these:  
[https://crustbikes.com/products/bombora/](https://crustbikes.com/products/bombora/)

It’s their first contemporary bike

I’m donating a  
FC-CX50  
Deore 9SP Dangler  
5700 Right Shake

Should they go x1? It looks like a x1 frame? If they do go x1 would they need clutch?

I would do a 34t or so ring + 11–42t (Shimano CS-HG500)  
You don’t need a clutch. You could tune the Deore 9s dangler spring tension, but I wouldn’t bother initially.

Cool, yeah would it be weird if they ran a 5700 left shake without a front pusher? Or would it be weirder if they had a Apex 1 left shake with a 5700 right shake?

-ah crap now they wanna put Jones bears on the frame 😑

From an ergonomic standpoint I would say match the levers atmo.

Jerry is right. Would feel pretty weird with different shakes.

i ran 2 9 speed toagra levers on a 1x with 32x11-34 for a long time and it was fine. just like how you don’t usually accidentally shift while braking, you don’t really accidentally shift a lever with no mech attached. at least with 5700 there isn’t a visible unused port for cable housing  
i used a bash guard on the outside, a custom  
bent inside of a busted pusher (or “ultra-inactive single sided front in-derailleur”, as my friend called it when he left fake feature stickers all over my bike) and dropped the chain maybe twice tops through a ton of really dumb shit

Thanks tarck, they are going with Jones bras now so I’ll probably match with wet brakes and m6000 clicker

or hit up Sando for his xx1 11sp shrams mech and get an 11sp shrams shifter to suit? It’s very very very cheap
