Swift campout, bob trailer edition. Drove up the night before, stashed 3 cases of beer in the woods, and made shuttle runs with the trailer. Shit was fucking spectacular. The day/ruiner handles this outrageous setup with ease. New bee-lines are pretty great on choppy fire roads.[/quote]
So much awesome goin on here. Any issues with the FD and the Bee-Lines? (2.2 right?) I’m thinking of putting some TB 2.25’s on my day/ruiner (probs have to go 1x?)

No issues with the bee-lines (2.2 is correct). I’m actually pretty certain that these are the tires the bike was made for, braden and endy might be able to elaborate. I have a m8000 FD and it clears about the same as the frame.
Speaking of which:
Bee-lines are almost maxed out here. Not quite, but almost. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re flying too close to the sun on 2.25 tires.
edit: i’d say that the 2.2 tires are more than sufficient for most dithering.

Endpoint do have those WTB Rangers in 2.25 (might try it in the summer.)
Love the fork mounted boom box cage.
[quote=jimmythefly][quote=puelnewdle]Tried out the 0.5m chairpole and rode down to the mailbox and around the park yesterday. Better, but still not enough saddle height. Such a bummer, this bike is terribly fun to ride.

Thanks! This might be the first bike part I buy in spite of it being silver.
The current setup is totally fine for the 1/4 mile ride to the mailbox and back, and probably totally fine for the 1 mile round trip to the grocery store, if I ever went there because I can’t remember the PIN to my debit card since I never use it anywhere and they only take cash/debit.
In case of emergency, break seatpost.
In case of poor decision making, break frame with ultralong chairpin.

It’s kind of amazing how well this works on aluminum, especially for a 10-footer.
Dang ol yup.

[quote=Rusty Piton]This thing’s been giving me damn near all of it lately. With a B17 it’ll be perfect.

Good from a far but far from good.
