    How hard (moreso costly) is it to put a modern drivetrain on a vintage mtb?

    Why not just get a second hand MTB with a triple crankset already on it? Then just buy a rigid fork. My main training steed still has a triple 3x9. Until I get fitter and start riding road bikes again (compact double). I just find the gearing easier and more closely spaced. Got a fairly tight...

    please enter the Mountain Cycle room......

    I ran into the same problem with seatpost angle. Angle is fine for true downhill applications (steep terrain). But on more tame shallower runs saddle will be nose in the air. I eventually got a FSA SLK seatpost and put these z-race style lightweight yokes onto it...

    Yeti build thread. Not in the wrong section.

    I'll admit. I cheated and read up to page 4. Then went backwards from page 19. And having seen you started out with a bike that had tri spokes and gold stanchions, YES I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS YOUR FULL SIZE 1:1 BIKE!🤭😅 And it was only when I saw that the surface texture on that last zoomed...

    Wanted Integralter

    Why do I get the feeling whenever anyone says "post-brexit" that there's a negative connotation automatically associated with that.🤔

    Mountain Cycle Shockwave 9.5 revamp. 14.7kg final weight.

    –ANYWAY– I weighed the bike and the total bike weight comes in at a respectable 14.7kg. Which, I think, is pretty light for what it is.😁

    Mountain Cycle Shockwave 9.5 revamp. 14.7kg final weight.

    In other news, The spokes came loose on the rear so I have do retension/retrue the rear wheel.🤕 So that was a total bummer, but better to find out now than at the start (or in the middle) of a downhill run holiday I suppose. I would have taken spare wheels in any case though... That's why it's...

    Mountain Cycle Shockwave 9.5 revamp. 14.7kg final weight.

    Well pretty much the last few upgrades. I got a nicer carbon seatpost and upgraded some bits with z-race yokes so now this post works at an extreme angle. The current seatpost/saddle combination now weighs in at a respectable 460 grams, so dropped about 140 grams right there.🤠 Then, what I've...
