You can still get redwall 45s from Resist for $24.
Demolition Parts claims that theyāre in stock in every size (redwall only for 45s, though) so if theyāre not being made there are still vendors with a lot of tires sitting in their stockrooms.
yeah, and 6 years ago that same light was $150
thanks guys those tires look perf.
how many OZ of sealant in each tube do you recommend?
The idea is to have a light that will be on a lock up bike in NYC. No battery packs, no handlebar attachment, no taking off the bike.
2-3 oz is what Stans recommends for this size tire, so I put in 3.
thanks, I ordered those nomad redwall tires and some plain stans, Weāll see how the red pedals and tires take this bike to the next level
these sort of bikes are out of my league but
the bmx bros have a few similar norcos in stock at a similar pricepoint
Whereās that shop at?
Wow that is a lot of bike for the buck!
NX Eagle is whack tho atmo. I donāt have any real rationale in saying that besides the fact that the dangler is 90% plastic. Iāll have more hot takes next summer when some of those conversion kits come back for service.
Yeah, feel of it is all hella plastic-y.
Kinda like the absolute garbage sram guide t they seem to be putting on things now. Donāt even get the easier reach adjust.
Maybe just pull the 12s NX eagle and sell/trade for some 11s stuff. You donāt need a 50t in the midwest. Save weight and get better shifting.
Fork might not give you all of it either.
Iāve got a 120mm fork and those numbers on my Pine Mountain 2 - not saying bigger fork wonāt give you more, but in collabo with 3in 27.5 tires it feels pretty great in my experience. You certainly canāt beat that price holy smokes.
Oh I meant quality wise, not travel. Judy Silver Solo Air is not a Fox 34.
Not sure of Tarcksā opinion of Santa Cruz Chameleon, but that might be worth a look too. Or that Salsa Timberjack SLX. Salsa Cycles | Adventure by Bike

NX - eagle isnāt all that terrible in theory.
Itās really just the derailleur thatās functionally inferior to GX. But youāre probably gonna smash it anyway and upgrade.
The rest is just weight. Steel direct mount ring thatās easily upgraded when worn. Solid forged arms and a dub spindle isnāt that terrible.
The non-XD cassette is heavy but at least itās not a $200+ wear part.
Very upgradable and Iād take this over a deore 1x10 setup any day.

Yeah NX really isnāt that bad. It doesnāt feel great, but itās better than X7 from 8 or 9 years ago.

I see ~$500 tandems all the time on Denver craigslist.
yeah, the denver/boulder/foco area has probably the highest number of craigslist tandems Iāve seen
