My New Ride for 24 Hours of Moab

[zipsbiker]

I've been planning this for a while, compiling my components for the last month. Finally finished it Saturday night. Should give me just enough time to get used to it before the big race next weekend.

My new Air 9.

Reba SL
Crank Bros Cobalt headset
Thompson stem
Sunline V1 carbon bars
Stans ZTR Arch on Hopes tubeless Maxxis Igniter front/Crossmark rear
Juicy 7s with 160 rotors
XO gripshifts
Sram 980 11/32 cassette
XO rear derailer/XT front
XT cranks/ Time ATAC XS pedals
Gravity dropper/Sette Sonic saddle

SICK rig!!!

Problem Solvers makes stick on cable guides you can use to "batten down the hatches" on that Gravity Dropper cable.

At any rate, nice bike and good luck in the race!!

I zip tied the gravity dropper cable to my rear brake cable right after I took the pictures, which worked alright. I'll have to check those Problem Solvers out. I don't want anything permanent since I trade the gd between my 6pack and the Niner. I can't drop $300 for a second one.

I need to cut and bleed my brake cables too.

Nice ride! You still want to borrow my lights for the 24 hour race?

Another gripshift fan! Is that a band-aid holding on the front brake cable to the fork? Any idea on the weight?

The gripshifts were lighter and cheaper than triggers.

lol about the brake cable, good eye. It was actually masking tape which I put on the night before so I could test ride the bike after I finished putting it together. It now has a nice black ziptie.

On the bathroom scale it was 25lbs. That seems heavy because without the pedals, gravity dropper and seat it was under 20lbs. With a Thompson post and new seat I think I can drop a pound.

Cool ride. Which category you racing in? A buddy of mine and his neighbors will be in the 5-man team event. I would be keen on hearing how it goes and what you think of the event.

I'm in the 5 man team event too.
