Day 4 - continued (feeling the pressure yet?) Now we need to add the chain stay. So find your stay, your BB clamp and the four bolts, the through axle thread plate and the deraillear hanger. Nah it's not as bad as that sounds. First install the through-axles screw plate; this one is easy and...

Day 4 Continued - Boom Boom, isn't it great to be cra....... errr Biking? The next step is to build and install the boom; this part is much simpler than fishing brake wires.. Since the boom is apart at this point, this is a great time to install the bottom bracket (BB) So grab the boom and...

Day 4 - Continued With the fork in-place, slide the beam washer over the wire and press it down into the top bear. Yes use more grease and keep cleaning up the excess. Next slide the spacer over the top. Find the boom clamp and loosen the two screws to spread the wings. Feed the brake...

Day 4 - Stick a fork in it Ok, it's time to get our fork installed. First, we repeat the process of using our routing wire. Fee the wire in through the top of the fork and out the bottom. Use earth magnets or a magnet tool to make the turn where the steer tube meets the fork arm. Same as...

They do have serial numbers we are just a modding community and we can mode more than a traditional bike. When we dream up new stuff we often get it can can apply it to older bikes. This would be like changing the fork on a road bike or putting a dropper post on a mountain bike. We just happen...

The first six months of the gray and white striped frames and the ten hand-painted ones all had the "clamp to the cups" design as well; many owners who are forum members did, however, upgrade when the new stays became available. The new stay came out just before the RAMM Relay team 2017 IIRC...

I have the correct derailleur hangers that go with that, if Kurth doesn't

See your DM's for a build thread spoiler and solution. :)

The 5400 should be no problem I used to have to do 1300ft to leave my house and to come back home another 1300; do not live such that 2 valleys' are between your house and all the good roads. That bike will eat that up. The 20% though you might have to walk some of it; but at that grade walking...

Day 3 - continued. Ok before we fit the brake to the frame a little house keeping. The V20c not only has the wheel reversed but it also has the disc brake mounts reversed. So you need to remove the mounting bracket from the brake with the longer hose and install it on the other brake. If you...

Day 3 - A slippery Topic, aka DOT Fluid (actually was the next day) Okay, it's time to route the hydraulic brake cables. So, of course, I forgot to take a picture of how the brakes come out of the box. But if you recall the painting phase, the brifters, calipers, and hose were all connected...

The advantage of friends. Work it out with them that you take the first pull at the bottom of each climb; do you 1-x minutes, then move over and keep working while they pass you. They'll get used to it pretty quickly. Then you quicker to get over the top after them. If they are lucky you'll be...

yeah I have to run over and visualize these all the time...

Good word choice. We use to call this "Sinister Trike" with the 56T on it.

Vuelta.... makes a 56T & 60T that will fit :) It's even aero; it's great for making 2x4s

And I'll get us started. Did some recent changes to the bikes and found a major problem with numbness on the outside of my foot. Always been a minor problem but now it was becoming ride stopping/ending. If felt like I needed to balance my shoes a bit. So some googling led me to the left/right...
