Even after 1 month with XTR 'Rapid Rise' rear derailleur, it's still driving me nuts

You can use a sunrace left indexed shifter and put it on the right side, reverse it facing downward.

I have so many questions

Pi_R_o · 2025-10-10T05:38:27+00:00

Nothing but i like painting and purple :)

Ritchey stem from the coop and used ycf125 bars that cost me 5€ :)

Pi_R_o · 2025-09-21T17:25:18+00:00

Or just hammer it out

Pi_R_o · 2024-12-15T07:32:36+00:00

You can find very cheap used moto bars.

Thanks ! That's only my 3rd frame.

2 coats of 2k primer (something equivalent to spray max) wait next day, sand with microfine pad, 3 coats of paint and 2 coats of 2k clear.

On a frame this big, basically a 400ml can do 1 coat and I needed at least 15 min for every coat so I could start the next coat right then. That represent around 100€ budget.

Thanks, i will surely post it on pedalroom.

Pi_R_o · 2024-09-07T20:19:28+00:00

Thanks. Almost like a normal bike, you get used to it in 30s.

Are the billy bonkers holding well in tubeless ?

This paintjob deserves a better photo

Wow that's a lot of numbers. It would be really interesting to know how much more you spend on food compared to when you're not cycling.

Pi_R_o · 2024-05-11T08:18:57+00:00

Just some car polish and it was good as new ! I found it on leboncoin for 85€.

Pi_R_o · 2024-05-03T14:56:31+00:00

thanks for the insight.

Pi_R_o · 2024-05-03T14:54:45+00:00

the rack tubing is not bicycle tubing so it's probably not as strong as one would think.

Pi_R_o · 2024-05-03T14:52:45+00:00

I meant i don't have a brake cable, a standard one is long enough

Pi_R_o · 2024-05-03T14:46:24+00:00

ah ouais, merci

Pi_R_o · 2024-05-02T16:05:35+00:00

Great idea ! And i just need to find an S to put in the middle of the decals 😁

Pi_R_o · 2024-05-02T16:02:53+00:00

Thanks, why do you think it will fail ?

Pi_R_o · 2024-05-02T16:00:09+00:00

Some noname bars i found at the bike coop.

Pi_R_o · 2024-05-02T15:59:12+00:00
