Chain reaction order arrived on Friday, so I finished putting my brothers bike together. Went to go for its maiden voyage and the cranks are so bent they are unridable. I fished them out of my parts bin and have no idea why I kept them. Tho should probs be in the fw thread [emoji28]

Oh yeah that makes sense. I bought some brand x from chain reaction on sale. I’m sure they are made of cheese but going a bike my brother will probs not ride so not too worried

Great question. I didn’t even look at that. Lucky he wouldn’t post [emoji51]

Shame his in Adelaide I would have jumped on that wheelset if he would post :(

Picked it up today in all its glitter purple glory. Going to be shame to bang the used parts onto it.

I have an older JoeBlow that has been pretty great. Gets used a fair bit and I've never had a problem with it. I have even managed to seat tubeless tyres with it. I did get a separate tyre gauge and the according to the new gauge the pump reads 5psi higher consistently.

Got the cheap dirt jumper stripped and ready for the powder coaters

This is such a killer bike, congrats on the build up

If you’ve got the spare time why not go for it. Likely to end up with same final product tho.

The crank spindle is at the right torque spec and sits flush with the bottom bracket. It tapers inward. No gap.

Set up a 1x11 six drivetrain on mates norco storm. It’s heaps nicer than the garbage 3x7 that was on there. The local bike store he bought it from couldn’t get it to shift nice so he asked for a solution. Lucky I picked up those race face cranks super cheap recently. Cheap bikes are cheap for...

Rad, I'll give him call, thanks.

Thanks, I'm still on the fence about the fork graphics tho. Might go all black.

Blast out at the You Yangs today before the rain came in. First proper ride with the new suspension and so far I’m really impressed. Need to work out how to tune it better. Does anyone know of a place I can hire a shockwiz in geelong?

It was super cheap, but if I wasn't going to build it up for my brother I would have left it to the gumtree wolves.
