Show us your 650b (27.5)

??

 

he was talking about "TIM" aka socalMX picking up the bike and "personally delivering" it to you get it, wink wink

-=Jason=-

 

Haha I get it.. Just not sure who this "Tim" is.

Can't wait to get it dirty!

 

That be me! Sorry to tell you but they bought my story & I got it dirty for ya, PM me for delivery options...

Not one scratch, I swear!

 

Another conversion

This used to be a 26er, a Colnago Ferrari CX60 that I converted to a 650b Hybrid Cross bike using WTB Laser Discs, X9 rear hub and a 20mm thru axle front American Classic hub. It has a 650b White Bros Fork, Raceface 46T big ring and XT transmission. The shock is a stock crappy ass Rockshox something that I'm waiting to blow up so I can at least get a Fox RP23 or CTD. I'm going attend a Fully Loop ride soon so that I can buy a couple decent 650b tires from Fullerton Bikes, it has a pair of Continental 650b Tour Rides on it & they don't grip a sh*t.

 

Just finished building my birthday present to myself. I've always wanted a Moots so I decided to splurge a little bit. I picked up this Moots Divide (26" wheel) from a Moots welder. He built this frame himself and hardly rode it. The only original parts are the headset, seat post, and fork. Everything else I added with parts I already had. The 27.5 XT wheels are new from Shimano. Never new they existed until a friend told me. I'm not sure what it weighs, but it's not the lightest. I wasn't trying to build a light bike. Just something fast, durable and what nobody else has.

 

Moots, Moots, Moots, everywhere you go you see people jumping on the Moots train...:wave:

I think you accomplished your goal of getting something unique. I don't think I have ever seen a Moots full suspension bike on the trails around here - or anywhere for that matter. Very cool. I hope it rides great too!

 

Kona Process 134 DL custom build.

 

That Kona looks like a blast. I love the rear swingarm design!

 

I picked up a Diamondbck Lux 27.5 for my daughter the other day, she loves it and actually wanted to go riding in the foothills the next day. I almost cried.

 

mtbcop: Great bike!!!! Please let me know your thoughts on your drivetrain (shifting, reliability, etc). I am looking to do the exact same 1x10 (11-42) Shimano setup. Is that an XTR medium cage or long cage RD?

Thanks and Enjoy!!!!

 

This killer Giant Anthem x advance 27.5 belongs to Kenny Snow one of the best bikes ever! 120 Fork Full XTR Enve carbon rims Chris King Hubs. 23.75 pounds! Light fast fun

I'm currently using a long cage. I used a mid-cage as well and have not noticed much of a difference between the two. I don't know if I'm lucky or a good mechanic, but shifting has been spot on. I did loosen the tension a tad on the clutch. Doing that adjustment certainly helped the shifting quality.

 

A+ Thanks!!!

 

Carbine 275

 

From yesterdays ride at Whiting.

 

sexay

Only have one ride but was impressed. No complaints, that's usually a good thing!

Went for a ride with CaraboaRay yesterday and we both brought our twins



Don't know if anyone else has seen it, but on our rides 26 has become an endangered species. We had 6 bikes on our Thursday ride and only 1 was a 26. Trek, Lapierrie and Devinci have all gone 275 for their DH bikes this year and I am sure that most of the other factories will go that way as well.

 

What'd you have before this? A Yeti SB66a Race?
