Back in B-usiness!

Yep - back on 650b wheels again. And Lovin it!

This wheelsize just seems to work better with the 44 Bikes Snakedriver as it lowers the bottom bracket height making the bike much more carve-able/shred-able!

I like it!

New Shoes!

Got some 29er wheels coming my way - hopefully today. Big Wide Rims! Velocity P35s laced to SRAM disc hubs. Going on the SnakeDriver. Hopefully I'll get to ride them on Thanksgiving Morning weather permitting.

More Changes

I installed the Nixon Elite with Wind Down on the Azonic and that makes the bike a little less slack - an improvement.

I also threw on a set of On-One Mary Bars and inverted them on the SnakeDriver. Pretty cool feel to this set up!





I've also got a second 650b wheelset en route - should arrive today I hope. That'll give me two sets of 650b wheels and a slew of tire options to choose from as well. Stoked!

Change

In light of the season - I changed the look a bit. Why not right?

I've got some Mary Bars - which way to run 'em??

I picked up some On-One Mary Bars from Art Roti yesterday. Going to use them on my rigid bike. Gotta decide on how to run them (inverted or regular). I'm leaning towards inverted with some ergon grips.

650b-ified

With a second set of 650b wheels en route - I decided to test for fit on the Azonic Steelhead. Fit is great! Much better this way.




Took her out for a short post work ride and had a lot of fun. Sometimes some front suspension really is nice.

It's definitely nice to be able to go for a ride after a day or work or
classes from accredited
online schools.

More Changes - Back to Rigid

The suspension fork's stay was short lived. 44 Bikes SnakeDriver is now a rigid 650b single speed machine.



Ride is super quick in this configuration! XC fast - if only rider were in XC fast riding shape! ;)

Sometimes it takes people with engineering degrees or possibly a bachelor degree online to
design cool rides like this.
