Also

The Ritchey WCS Carbon Bullmoose Mountain Handlebar features a carbon fiber construction and a forged alloy clamp

I suppose I’d ask ritchey as well as to what it should be used on.

Also I messaged you about the unicorn if you want to sell it…

Can someone tell me what even this is? I do not understand all the parts or why. Seen in Bend, OR

Some dorks shitty fatbike.

Googled it. Super Chinese.

bogus · January 12, 2019, 8:58pm

Why shitty though

turpentine · January 12, 2019, 9:04pm

It’s just an elaborate walmart bicycle shaped object.

The super-padded saddle isn’t exactly a vote of confidence for the suspension on that thing, and once you take the suspension away it’s just a heavy (and probably sloppily riding, because the “suspension” is still there introducing planing into the ride) fatbike. And also if they cheap on the suspension they’re likely to have cheaped on every other component they could.

Are you in Bend right now? Ping me.

Dq: 18/24/32 x 32/44
Will this be shiftable?

Orc · January 12, 2019, 10:58pm

Why not? The spacing between gears isn’t that bad; I get

       |      44      32
-------+----------------
     18|      59      43
     24|      44      32
     32|      33      24

As gear inches; there’s nothing that’s an insanely long jump, it’s just that the cogs start at what would be 3/4ths of the way up a regular cassette (and no I don’t know why the table has some of the entries in blue.)

anon24974279 · January 12, 2019, 11:01pm

I guess I’m wondering about 6-8t jumps. I haven’t seen that done.

Orc · January 12, 2019, 11:05pm

You don’t see that very much these days, but there are 5-speed alpine freewheels floating around with super-wide gearing (I’ve seen 14, 18, 23, 30, 38 listed on ebay, which might be a typo but if not your gearing is no problem at all) and some of the 6 & 7 speed megarange™ freewheels have a 24->34 jump.

anon24974279 · January 12, 2019, 11:11pm

Thats a good point. Forgot about those mega ranges. Hmm maybe I’ll do it.

Crustradamus · January 12, 2019, 11:12pm

Shitty folding fat bike from the looks of it

jeffro · January 12, 2019, 11:16pm

Whoo, good thing that Ritchey bar is hilariously expensive, or I’d be jamming it on my P29er.

bogus · January 12, 2019, 11:50pm

Kk thank you, I was trying to understand. It reminded me of Transformers somehow

crowding · January 13, 2019, 12:32am

I wonder if an oldschool dangler with parallel cage and offset top pulley would work better than a slant type for the 3sp megarange

anon24974279 · January 13, 2019, 12:47am

Yeah I was thinking 9spd or even 8 cuz why not

motorbacon · January 13, 2019, 5:59am

Let’s talk Ultra Torque.

How bad is it to space the NDS arm out a few mm? I’d pull the bearing, spacer behind bearing and reinstall.

Blakey · January 13, 2019, 6:58am

Won’t that reduce the hirth joint engagement considerably? Like, enough to not have it engaged.

BB width spec for UT (wave washer takes up the slack)
Italian thread 69,2 - 70,8
English thread 67,2 - 68,8

If your (eng) shell is less than 68.8mm, you could shim it up to that safely.
