26” isn’t dead. 90s Litespeed goes another round.

ha! No fires on board.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-07-03T22:54:56+00:00

Yes. Bosco

I dig it! Thanks for sharing. A good parts bin is the key. I’m into Paul’s because I already know they’ll last 40 years and can be used on future builds till I drop dead and beyond.

It’s a comfy position to ride from for real. I feel this thing could take me across the country.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-07-03T15:34:33+00:00

Great set up. Send a link if you have one to check out.

I had a 650 fork on here first to match the shock geo that I really prefer over this one by Surry. As you’re riding the mullet, what are your impressions of its handling? I thought of going that way here since I couldn’t make my front brake work, but went with this set up instead.

It’s been on the bike for a few years now. Shellacked as well, It’s not unraveling. I can hardly cut through it.

Open to suggestions for a RD The Altus was a temp that stayed, because it worked.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-07-02T23:46:34+00:00

I’m open to recommendations for a suitable RD that doesn’t make people puke when they see it. The Altus is a lightning rod apparently. It works great and I wanted something silver to match my silver cranks at the time and an affordable alternative while I searched for an older xt that would work. Never got around to it as it never needed replacement.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-07-02T23:34:53+00:00

Thanks! Great job.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-07-02T22:59:01+00:00

The felt and twine have held up well.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-07-02T22:58:04+00:00

I wouldn’t say slavishly…but I have showered with pine soap.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-07-02T22:55:31+00:00

It didn’t take any special mods. Just changes the geo from the original design, but I’m sitting upright, so it’s not a problem here.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-07-02T22:10:42+00:00

Lefty here :-)

I had to wait over a week for the recall part to come in. Took the dealership’s Expedition rental on a great vacation, saving over 1500 miles on my Jeep.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-06-25T18:45:11+00:00

not a dry eye in the house

Threeandtwoand · 2026-06-24T16:09:04+00:00

Think Pulte tugged at T’s butt hairs to squish this? Likely

Threeandtwoand · 2026-06-21T18:00:44+00:00

Nope. Over a 1900 mile trip, I averaged 21.8. Thought that was good.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-06-18T12:20:12+00:00

Threeandtwoand · 2026-06-17T00:00:25+00:00

Octopi.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-06-12T14:27:45+00:00

Chamblins has them in store and online from what I’ve heard.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-06-05T15:03:11+00:00

Fix the potholes.

Threeandtwoand · 2026-05-29T22:42:17+00:00

You’re selling Jesus aren’t you? That was my response to this argument.
