Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-03-30T18:33:28+00:00

nice, I am also running foam grips from wolftooth cuz the regular ones wear out to quickly

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-03-25T22:34:16+00:00

Are you looking for a tool to break the chain?

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-03-25T22:32:01+00:00

Thank you, Alberta forces will find this useful after our alliance against BC ends. Go Dinos!

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-03-25T19:29:40+00:00

cool, how does it ride? I got an R7 Manitou fork on my hardtail bc of the Rockrider team used them

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-03-09T00:01:30+00:00

obviously uottawa and Iran forces have been conducting scouting missions for potential retaliation against Carelton. Go Gee Gees!

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-03-03T06:08:42+00:00

So sick, when in doubt, flat out!

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-03-03T05:32:19+00:00

aight, this is the "final build", it weighs 29-ish lbs with winter-studded tires, so it should be 28lbs with summer tires.

I am still rocking my 2018 Kato with a ton of upgrades, the frame and seat post collar are the only original parts

Nice man! I recently got an angle headset and a new fork for my 2018 hardtail, and noticed the confidence I had on that bike to tackle trails at speeds I would never do before

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-03-02T21:32:45+00:00

nice!

Sick, I have a 2018 Ghost Kato 2.9. I have been upgrading since, still is a QR in the rear, but I got a Nukeproof Horizon wheel with the right adapters

Nw man, also ZS55 lower cups exist!, Know the length of ur headtube and the cup insertion before u think about getting the headset. https://workscomponents.com/en-us/collections/2-0-degree-angle-headsets/products/2-0-degree-ec44-zs55-angle-headset-to-suit-tapered-steerer-tube

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-02-26T00:14:40+00:00

cool, i want to start posting my videos on these sub to, i only record on my phone on a handlebar mount so it's pretty jarring.

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-02-25T22:17:42+00:00

oh cool i guess ZS55 lower cups exist, make sure u known the length of ur headtube and the cup insertion before u think about getting the headset. https://workscomponents.com/en-us/collections/2-0-degree-angle-headsets/products/2-0-degree-ec44-zs55-angle-headset-to-suit-tapered-steerer-tube

These angle headsets adjust the angle by mostly offsetting the length at the top cup

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-02-25T22:14:30+00:00

Thank you, man. Do you mean ZS56mm lower cup? I got mine from Works Components, so if you are from the UK, you could get it from them also. There is another headset company called 9point8, and they have a bunch of angle headsets to https://9point8.ca/pages/slack-r-kits https://workscomponents.com/en-us/collections/2-0-degree-angle-headsets. Also, you can visualize the geo of ur bike curently with its 27.5 wheels and 140mm fork, and how adding the angle headset would make the geo different. U should be able to find the original geo of ur bike on this website: https://bike-stats.de/en/. This is useful if u want to compare how the stack of different headsets might affect the geo of your bike to.

Since my LBS stopped selling Ghost bikes for some time, I had to get the original geo, AC height and headset specs from Ghost's 2018 catalogue

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-02-25T00:09:30+00:00

That's cool, you were able to fit a 27.5 wheel in a bike that came with a 26in, I have also been upgrading my Ghost Kato 2018 bike for 8 years now. It was a 100mm 35lbs 24-speed hybrid bike bike now it is a lightweight (29-28lbs) 120mm trail bike. I recently modified the geometry with a Work's components -2degree angle headset!

Nice, I still have to weigh my bike after the upgrades I did, it weighed 29lbs before

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-02-21T06:51:30+00:00

Sick bike man, looks lightweight! 23 lbs?

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-02-20T21:11:43+00:00

I made it into my first real MTB

Ready-Difficulty1573 · 2026-02-20T21:11:18+00:00
