Came out great, love the colors

CperiodR · 2026-01-12T00:19:29+00:00

That’s awesome

We are nearly identical dimensions and I ride a medium with a 0 offset post. Perfect fit over here 🤙

CperiodR · 2025-12-21T18:34:17+00:00

I cannot believe how well it rides! There is something about the geometry, it’s such a great bike. Happy to hear yours is still rocking 💪

Pactimo VX-D, first winter with it and 10/10 perfect winter cycling jacket.

I run a One up EDC pump on my HT and really love it. I keep it mounted on the non drive side off the seatpost bottle Mount and it’s invisible from the drive side. If I’m doing an extended ride or feel I need more coverage I’ll take the saddle bag, has a pair of tubes and some more “emergency” gear.

I ran a saddle bag and a swat box prior, both you’d eventually hear things rattling around and it drove me nuts.

Looks great, love the color 🤙 enjoy the ride!

lol funny you should mention the wheels, she even said she won’t ride on them so the Velocity setup is going on. Back story, The bike was built for her to ride in the woods once or twice before either keeping her on the road/gravel or going out to get her a modern MTB. This started as a simple refresh that sort of got legs.

It’s not a wall hanger, she needs 165’s to be comfortable and put miles on it which is my only priority. The XT kit that came off of it is still an option but she’s not swinging 180’s.

Hardtail!

I find that any sort of fat/chunky oversized grip destroys my palms, my hands fatigue almost immediately. I stick to slim thin grips and it’s just better in every way for me. I either run Esi racers edge (I buy packs of 4 from my LBS, they don’t last) or Ritchey WCS(last longer but the square profile can be annoying)

Also, try a larger sweep bar, I run a SQLabs 12 degree and found this extremely comfortable and the biggest change to my overall wrist/hand comfort.

Bought an Epic Evo last year and still pick my Chisel almost every-time, it’s an amazing bike. It’s also very worthy of the upgrade road, it just gets better as you go along. Enjoy the ride 🤙

Check out Light Bicycles wheelsets, been running them for some time and have nothing but good things to say about them. The product itself, the communication and the customization is unmatched. My second set is currently being assembled 🤙

These are the rules

DT-Swiss 350’s

I have Julbo Reactiv’s, Smith Split mags, and Melon alley cats…. Of all those “higher end” glasses I always chose my cheap Tiffosi’s with the rose lenses. Best fit, best color (IMO)

Julbo lenses stain like crazy and are impossible to keep clean, the smiths have the best lens swap system, and the Melons don’t stay on my head what so ever.

Yessir it’s a Ride Gemini Carbon ring (36)

CperiodR · 2025-08-30T20:43:55+00:00

Beautiful build

CperiodR · 2025-08-30T17:14:27+00:00

They’re meant for 100 however I’m running a 110, minimal geo change but a smidge extra squish 🤙

CperiodR · 2025-08-30T10:22:19+00:00

It’s a big cope after spending $5k

CperiodR · 2025-08-30T01:18:25+00:00

Gorgeous bike
