    Stem/bar length these days?

    Yep no perfect answer. Really just depends. Modern stems 40-60mm, modern bars 700-800. With bars just start wide and move the grips in to test widths. Cut at your favorite.

    The plan today was heading out for a ride, making it a mile, fixing a flat tire, riding 28 miles and having a beer... Fast bike, with a little roadie drafting less than an hour and a half

    2000 Kona Score Titanium

    I don't think Gil can. And you're right, would be terrible. Kona still makes, or they made batches of glow in the dark stickers. Thinking about reaching out to see who they use,

    Rock Shox Judy 1996 Rebuild

    I went the cheaper route & gave my old blown out Judy to a clever friend, this was before I knew about SRP's replacement parts.

    The anti Klein brigade.

    From a visual standpoint Klein's are beautiful... until you ride one. And then you go back to steel & titanium.

    Rock Shox Judy 1996 Rebuild

    Better dry than goopy. Makes for an easy clean out. Based on the condition of the stanchions you'll be good. New elastomers for sure lol. Specialty Retro products makes replacement cartridges if you end up needing them as well as a bunch of other stuff...

    Facebook Marketplace boils my piss

    I haven't had any poor experiences in regards to buying or selling bikes... but at least here in the states there are TONS of scams regarding cars, mowers, trailers etc.... Whatever you do, don't report them as a scam otherwise your feed will literally be filled with EVERY scam ad out there...

    Bottom bracket with deep threads, Square taper or external

    Fun times! Speaking of botched installs... had a FSR go through the garage with the Chris King headset JB Welded in. Took me a minute to figure out why it wasn't coming out.

    1999 Kona King Kikapu

    Nice work on the maguras! Yep oily ring = new seal time... Question regarding the Z3, was the rebound oddly slow for you? I've ran across a few, mine and a friend's kids Z3 on his MokoMoko... I can rebuild Marzocchi's in my sleep but both z3's had insanely slow rebound after using the same oil...

    26 Vs 27.5 tyres practically the same size?

    No! We got got again! On another funny note, 750mm bars are the new 800mm. Something about trying to keep 29's manuverable... (It works by the way)

    26 Vs 27.5 tyres practically the same size?

    You're right, Hans dampfs are huge! Years back when Jenson was having a close out on HD's, I picked up 30 tires at $10 each. All 26x2.4. But yeah, they are enormous compared to just about any other tire. By far the cheapest way to go 27.5 lol
