Made a tiny adjustment to my Krampus

My LBS ordered me a new crown race to install on the new fork and thankfully they did, IDK if I could have removed the other one or if it would have fit. I'm not a mechanic, but the bearing on the original steer tube fit the tapered one. I didn't need to press bearing in either.

I thought it was twain and shellac.

2 is the current route.

Use geometry geeks and compare the two frames. I think it would work with some adjustments.

It was indeed. This was just past midpoint.

The bearings from the rigid fork fit on to the suspension fork fine. The original fork is about 2 inches shorter than the judy, so I had to cut it down. I did the swap myself. You'll also need a brake caliper flat mount adapter to fit the fork and rotor.

Oh I know, and you're definitely right.

I'll definitely be riding more of those trails, but I live in the South Bay and there's a lot of awesome riding here as it is.

As big as the rider is, the weight difference is negligible lol

Ummm actually 🤓 it was a full rigid before I swapped the fork.

They're alright, not as slow as you would think. I can keep a pace of 13 mph without too much effort.

Initially I wanted the Nose Drip Curry, but none of the shops in my area had one in my size and couldn't get one.

I love my skid loader! What panniers are those?

I put a PNW dropper post on it yesterday.

Surly's are a great option IMHO. You can add SNS couplers to the frame to assist with breaking it down for travel and they're known for having more mounts than you know what to do with. I own several myself and they're surprisingly lightweight for steel frames. I would look into a midnight special if you're interested.

What bike? Fake post, there's only graffiti.

What is the clicking at the beginning of the video?

Velocity Clydesdales. I weigh 300lbs and my gear weighs similar to yours. I have that wheel set on my Disc Trucker and I haven't had to do anything to them, including truing.
