XL - im 185cm

Reach is fine, but seat tube could be a little shorter tbh.

CP thread for my San Quentin here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/351975/newest/

Finally decided I should buy an MTB and managed to pick up a San Quentin 3 frameset a little while back.

Bikediscount.de had some cheap Manitou Mattoc's and picked up some of their wheels - deore centrelock hubs and ryde 30mm internal rims.

other bits mostly acquired cheap and secondhand - mt500 brakes, xt 11 speed drivetrain borrowed of my other half's commuter as we are off to the Brecons and I wanted to have it built before we go this weekend.

Dropper post is a brand-x ascend 150mm drop - first time using a dropper, my two boys think its hilarious... after a low stack saddle as it's a tiny bit high at max insertion and its currently running a stripped fake ISM, which is a little incongruous.

forks are currently at 120 because I cba taking them apart to increase it yet - I think its specced for 130mm
2.4" on 30mm internal rims

This thing is fun.

Good point, havent done a CP for that either - it's my new(ish) TT bike

Finally got round to getting some parts for my San Quentin build... should probably do a current projects thread.

In need of the following MTB bits - not after anything fancy, as just trying to get this put together cheap(ish)

11 Speed rear mech and cassette

170mm or shorter cranks - either boost or direct mount and 24mm axle

650b tubeless tyres - ideally 2.6

30.9 dropper post

I'm in Bristol, so will probably need posting.

Showing my ignorance, but can you not just alter the final drive?

Where is the weakness in the current gearbox?

I think retention of the grounds is still an issue - so better to weigh the output.
My thinking being - beans in the hopper, weigh/zero portafilter -> turn on grinder and grind into portafilter directly (with funnel maybe) then turn off when you think it looks about right and weigh it to see where you dose is then grind a bit more if necessary.

That's pretty much what I did with my old MC2 - as the grind timer was pretty useless, so I just set it to max and turned it off when done.

Yup, chap just delivered it earlier. Not bad for £85

New grinder :) La Spaziale astro 12.
Looks like the doser is easily removed, so will see if I can fashion a chute in its place

Anyone got any 27.5 boost bits they want rid of? Forks / wheels / groupset items?
Alternatively anyone spot any decent offers on the above (unlikely it seems given the availability of most bike related things)?

I used to use polyester sailthread for my bags - https://shop.solentsew.co.uk/thread/bonded-polyester.html (nylon soaks up water and then stretches much more than polyester)

Depending on the machine you might get away with V92. V69 should be fine for domestic machines generally. https://www.sailrite.com/Selecting-the-Right-Thread-Size#:~:text=V%2D69%20is%20the%20heaviest,of%20thread%20on%20the%20spool.

Yeah, gcn are owned by discovery group, who also own eurosport...

Have pulled the board already as it made getting the motor out easier.

Think I will use it as a chance to upgrade as motor is £50 plus postage anyway, so will have spare hopper etc available - everything bar the motor.

Did you get your mc2 fixed?

Mine has finally died - motor spat out a load of bits, was wondering if you still needed the controller board?

Beaune or most of the Cote D'Or for that matter is lovely. Would recommend perhaps for the way back.

When we drive to Bourg D'Oisans we normally stay in Troyes.

Have a Marin San Quentin frame on it's way to me, so will be asking silly questions on this thread soon.

Yema Superman is 39mm too

A bit above 1k but Oris divers 65 36mm?

August the octoberteenth.

Is there an option to switch to epoch time? :p
