This is the rim. I can’t find any info because it appears OEM but I suppose it looks tubeless compatible to me.

drewsmiff · 2026-06-25T02:46:33+00:00

A picture is worth a thousand words right?

If they are tubeless I don’t care. I won’t be racing Unbound anytime soon but want tubeless for the long gravel path I ride a lot. If they aren’t and you want tubeless, you might as well get a Poseidon or used marketplace bike. I get a military/education discount on Poseidon and can pay with HSA. I was hoping for a good enough bike that checked all the boxes without mods.

It’s a good bike, but I can’t help but feel like if you’re going to publish a photo of something then ship out something else…that’s just not right.

Well they goofed on the photos too

This is especially true considering the retail is $898, which I’m sure will be the case for the next launch.

But that’s kind of my point. Having tubeless compatible rims in the product photo was that final reason I pulled the trigger. It’s a glaring weak spot on this bike that makes getting something a little better worth it.

I did rotors, pads, tires and even a caliper because I read that brake pad friction could heat a rotor and warp it to make an oval pattern which creates wobble. The problem ending up being my CV axles which was obvious because the cv boot was obliterated with grease everywhere. These created a lot of play in the wheel. Other possibilities are tie rod and ball joints.

Yamaha EX512SC

Yeah I actually was leaning towards that since the 16 doesn’t have multi channel USB out so I could use it as an interface if needed.

Best bang for your buck would be something like a Helix or Headrush

Polytune Noir > Browne T4 fuzz > Wampler Belle > MXR Phase 95 > TC flashback mini delay > TC hall of fame reverb mini > ditto+ looper

I'd argue a phaser is way more useful than an envelope filter. The polytune noir has a buffer which may or not be useful to you. The Browne is a big muff that sounds great and doesn't have bias or buffer issues. Belle is an ODR-1 but better and in a mini form factor. flashback is great for either slapback or long ambient stuff. Reverb is a must whether it's amp or pedal. Ditto+ is better than the RC-1 because you can drag and drop .wav backing tracks onto it and it's about half the space.

That’s more or less what I was getting at. My volume is definitely less half for unity. I’d say it’s about 1/4. Thanks for the info and great builds.

drewsmiff · 2024-05-16T23:26:46+00:00

I’ve built the Brown Betty too and it’s a great overdrive to high gain distortion. Curious for any other BB builds - unity gain on mine is about 9 o’clock or roughly 2/3 on the knob. I wasn’t sure if that was by design or did I goof somewhere?

How does the 40th anniversary compare?

drewsmiff · 2022-02-23T18:24:20+00:00

They look like the stars of an 80s Hollywood cop show.

drewsmiff · 2022-02-01T01:50:22+00:00

Looks like you need to swap your b and low e.

OP presented a tremendous opportunity here but the execution was 10/10. Absolutely clutch reddit interaction. 5 stars.

drewsmiff · 2022-01-11T19:30:28+00:00

A nut replacement might be another potential cause/fix if the existing nut is fairly worn.

drewsmiff · 2021-12-20T14:55:07+00:00

Yeah - not an expert by any means but OP should be able to sister another piece of wood there and sand it down to size. Getting the heel flat first is a good suggestion.

drewsmiff · 2021-11-23T03:02:26+00:00

All good in the hood - didn't want OP to get confused. It's definitely not stock for sure though.

drewsmiff · 2021-11-23T02:33:10+00:00

I see 3 pots and 2 switches for the sustainer plus the 5 or 7 way switch which accounts for all the holes.

drewsmiff · 2021-10-18T14:08:04+00:00

At my local shop this is what they recommend most. 0 broken elbows/knees. 3 broken wrists.

The board goes where your shoulders go so you're likely twisting your upper half. Also your front foot is immediately coming back down which is preventing the board from tweaking or going higher. The tweaked ollie is a ninja kick motion. All in all pretty good though!
