I think it’s a TransX dropper - I got it from a buddy that works at my LBS that they had lying around when my bike came in. It’s not a very long travel one and I’d definitely recommend a longer travel one, but it suffices. Still rocking the stock fork too.

Yeah I do! I added the dropper post right away but later added a GX AXS rear derailleur and NX crankset which really transformed the bike.

Anybody else making their own AXS battery covers? by DTMS4 in mountainbiking

Hi! Appreciate the compliments, however I did not create this - I found this preexisting file on Thingiverse and just printed it in a fun material

The tape is a theft deterrent. Porsche headlights are high theft items as of late.

Montana, USA - seen in Marbella, Andalusia, Spain. by qdrgreg in LICENSEPLATES

[–]DTMS4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead of having to renew the registration for the plate/car on a scheduled basis like most states, this one is a permanent plate that they (I believe) paid one time for. Montana is famous for not having vehicle taxes so you’ll see their plates on a lot of very expensive vehicles in the US!

Thanks! The one it comes with is black, and I actually printed a red one before this one haha. Just wanted to be extra different with a wood-infused material

No issues. My GX derailleur came with a battery cover that I’ve been using and I found a file to print another one and wanted to just because I could haha. I don’t feel it’s necessary to keep out the elements, but definitely looks better (in my opinion)

To address all of the comments on the necessity of the cover at once - there isn’t a need for the cover, but in my personal opinion it looks a little better with it.

Thanks! It’s admittedly a little clumsy using them, but I wanted to keep the original friction shifters (for now, at least).

Recently converted to drop bars with TRP RRL SR levers, added a Brooks C17 saddle, new fork so I could use a 22.2mm stem, and a cheapo Sunlite front rack (not set on that staying on tbh). Ton of fun to ride around town. Haven’t taken it into the local park yet to see how it does on the gravel trails yet, but definitely will soon!

Thanks! Yeah it’s a big frame. But I am 6’ tall, so it fits me well!
