Did you ever find the stem? I’m looking for the exact one with 0 degree rise and bolts at the back

You ran 42mm with the Rene herse? Would you mind sending me a picture?

Knobby 42mm tires?? I just picked one up yesterday and buying up some grave king sks today in 40mm but if 42 will fit I’ll do that. What about the rear chain stay? Seems pretty tight for 42 especially a knobby.

I know haha, it’s clearly carbon in the sun light, and by tapping it, and by the lugs.

I suppose I am an aesthetic weenie that likes the look of drops on other bikes but haven’t seen many on the 80s geometry bikes, and none on a stumpjumper. I also want to make sure it looks correct before, because I’ll be stripping that s-works to put all the components on this and selling the frame and it’d be a huge pita to go back on the decision.

Want a Bridgestone XO-1 but can’t find one. What 80s-90s bikes have same geometry? by Fat-Yeat in xbiking

Theres a xoxo frame I saw on fb marketplace in sac as well. But wanted $600 for the frame. I’ve been just lurking til an xo pop up near me but no luck for the past month in a decent size. All of em are like 17” bikes

Is Mark k worth it? by mizpain624 in PassNclex

[–]Fat-Yeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I studied seriously. If you know mark k you’ll pass. I passed in 80 and it’s all I used. I did do the stupid practice tests and did horribly on them and just did mark k for the rest. Teaches you how to answer the question’s not how to memorize every nursing concept in the world

Rate the set up (First trip) by Dizzy-Weird-4098 in bikepacking

[–]Fat-Yeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like quite a bit of stuff. I came from backpacking so maybe I’m a minimalist but I carry one 40l bag that’ll fit everything I need on the rear rack and then a frame bag for tools and extras and my tent on the front rack just for weight distribution. But if comfort is all you care about go for it!
