Very nice. You sure you dont need a chain guide of some kind? When I ran 1x9 i dropped my chain until I stuck a front mech back on.
It seems ok - I was running this set up on my Yeti 4X (now sold) and it ran fine - I think it's because the Renthal rings have very tall teeth which seem to stop the chain dropping....but I'll see how it goes...
If I'm honest, I want to keep it as clean and uncluttered as possible, so didn't want a mech or device on there...so I hope the chain does stay on!
Aw, thats nice. It looks all heavenly & angelic with that glow thing going on.
Or is my monitor ****ed...
That made me feel funny in a way that bikes seldom manage to achieve.
Very nice - just built up my own 1*10 XTc - pics and details to be loadded on the weekend.
Can't decide whether to add a chain device or not....running an e13 34t chain ring - I guess time will tell!
Fab bike 😀
That's lovely! You win at bikes
Be very interested to see how you get on without a chainguide.
Looks really nice btw - I have the same but with bigger wheels :o)
Lovely.
Nice looking frame that. Good work on the valves/logos too 🙂
I personally would have to have a black seatpost to match the stem & forks as I have component OCD.
Splendid work, A+++
That's very nice. Sweet.
Is that an 18 inch frame? I'm seriously considering one.
Looks shite.
Thanks loddrik...
kiwijohn - its a Medium...which measures 17" centre to top and top tube is about 22.5"...these are way smaller dimensions than shown on the CRC site but I'd been warned about that already....I'm 5'10" and it's set up for me in the pics (although as of this morning it now has a 90mm silver Thomson stem rather than the 70mm shown)...silver for much the same reason as Retro83 mentions above!!!
😀
I don't like to put a damper on your excitement about your new bike, but have you seen this thread ?
