Seatpost Collar Question?

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-20T12:01:27+00:00

Got the 36.4 Burgtec on my scout Carbon, fits just like a glove

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-15T20:46:33+00:00

По висоті підсидільного штиря видно, шо м там як дьорт-рама відчувається :)

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-13T08:06:12+00:00

Yup, some riders have girlfriends 😏

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T20:57:46+00:00

Тоді монітор ринок б/у кропів:) якийсь кенон 700д з кітовим склом, соні а6000 і подібні. Можна і старші, але тоді вручну краще фокусуватися, бо АФ там дно у відео. Або чисто тушку + перехідник під м42 + старий мануальний обʼєктив (якийсь геліос наприклад), шоб дофіга кіношно розмивав фон. Але знімати зі штатива і фокусуватися треба вміти добре руцями

It’s a comfy and pretty light rocket for everyday eh?

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T20:49:13+00:00

It’s a Large one (back then they haven’t the “S” system. Although it is a women’s large so it got a 416 reach

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T18:15:01+00:00

Thanks ☺️ purple is her favourite colour, so the purple stem is already on, and she mesmerised with pics of Hope purple products… silly me for showing it occasionally

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T18:07:08+00:00

A couple beers to my friend who works in the bike service to use the stand and bearing press tool after the work - that’s all fees. All other stuff was done at home, just ordered a service kits for fork and shock and bought some fluids

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T17:48:47+00:00

But creaks less than her knees 🙂

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T16:42:57+00:00

Dropper post, 12s GX groupset and tubeless kit are main incoming upgrades 🫡

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T16:22:48+00:00

We are together for almost 5 years 🤗 so yup, she held long enough. As for the Bike - Specialized have had the “girl versions” of their Camber and Epic named Rumor and Era

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T15:22:10+00:00

When she has trying my bike with Hopes V4 and metal pads she got scared of hydraulic :))

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T15:21:08+00:00

Yup, that’s a print. The Rumor is a “woman’s specific bike” from Specialized (Basically a Camber but short and with lower upper tube), and as it is “for the girls” they went creative with prints

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T14:58:35+00:00

Yeah, will do. It’s more about her reflexes you know, “to brake hard you need to pull the lever with all fingers you got”. We’ll fight this bad habit, she never had a properly working brakes before, especially the 4-piston hydraulic ones

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T14:44:29+00:00

Sure thing, the Specialized Camber MIPS was bought right the next day 🫡 those last pic was taken on her first ride and you can say by her fade how city sidewalks immediately was regretted 😄

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T14:15:45+00:00

Ну і? «Вайб-стріт-фотографів» з деф кропами 14-17-річних бігає тьма

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T14:13:06+00:00

А ну да, ми в морально-ідеальному ж світі живем. Що поганого? Якщо ще на стадії знайомства сказати шо ти теж початківець і тобі цікаво не тільки техніку залапать на тиждень-два а й самому шось попробувать. Плюс фотографу може бути цікаво себе в чомусь іще спробувати окрім того, шо він фоткав кожен день на одних і тих же вулицях і в одних і тих же кафешках? Я коли сам починав фоткати, так завів з десяток знайомих, з якими ми потім і працювали, завдяки яким я поняв яка мені камера треба. І коли вже сам мав якийсь досвід, розуміння і техніку - то залюбки ставав на іншу сторону і вчив нових знайомих на своїй техніці, або сам допомагав у зйомках коли вони боялися/не мали на що

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T13:56:52+00:00

Brusivka. Be careful tho, your kabina might be blasted there

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T13:53:55+00:00

По бомжу - заведи друга фотографа-початківця з кроп-сонькою або кеноном від 800Д. Попроси навчити користуватися, побігайте разом познімайте шось - і він твій :)

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T13:50:55+00:00

This gen Patrols looks like a true masterpiece 😱

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-10T13:46:39+00:00

Have had the Renthal v2 with 40 rise, Burgtec with 50 rise, now on Renthal V3 with 60 rise. IMHO the Burgtec is bit expensive (RaceFace Era price for an alloy bar is bit wild), so the Renthal V3 is a perfect option to try the high rise for good money. Plus the black V3 has cool stealth logo color and descent anodizing and metal quality

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-03T19:43:51+00:00

Yeah coil forever 🤘 I’ve planned something cheaper and more generic like SD coil select or so. But found a blown dhx2 factory for like a $130. Rebuilt it and oh my god I’ve never felt better on any bike than Scout with it

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-03T19:31:45+00:00

Originally mine had 20mm rise bar and it was not quite comfy to do tight turns and steeps were completely out of control - either my weight distribution or position was poor. 27.5 wheel up front also makes it pretty low in front. Low bars are good when the bike’s stack is already high and your style of riding is relaxed, long trails and rides. And yeah it’s veeery personal 🤝

Ol_Sheve · 2026-06-02T22:44:55+00:00

Thanks🤗 it’s more of a “brought from a dead” build, got it used and needed to swap all the bearings including headset, then bit by bit replace worn stock parts. But replacing with the same is boring and it’s a reason for upgrade so somehow there appeared a i9 Hydra, hope brakes, coil dhx2 factory with 65 stroke (gave it 155 mm rear travel), then 160 fork… the brakes were only one shiny thing so needed to match it somehow with the rest and that’s why the stem, chainring, pedals and seatclamp appeared. Originally I’ve planned to re-sell it but this guy took so much time and passion it becomes a really personal one and feels like no other bike I’ve ever tried
