+1 for the brother mehteh, absolutely love mine

Yeap! http://www.grantdavis.nz/2022/10/brother-mehteh-atb.html

Built this thing up recently. Absolutely love it!

100% Alot of manufacturers dont actually specify the max load, and so I see people everywhere mounting racks. Brother do specify, so I went with this approach, which actually turned out to be easier as I wanted to run the cargo cages.

Yea cool, ill make a new thread in the next few days. Just look out for something like 'DIY racks' something something...

Forsure, I will do a little right up shortly. Should I make a new thread for all this or is there a good place to stick it? All my racks have been non welded, so I figured this was the best place, as they are super DIY

Its just from aliexpress, try search folding bike front rack or something like that?

Hell yea! thats so rad! I wouldnt say mine it much more pro, its basically the same idea just painted black haha

Thanks, I dont sorry. I have a bunch of tube left over though, so maybe I should do a little write up of how it all went together. A few people have been interested to try it

Have been getting my brother mehteh ready for an 8 day bike backing trip down here in NZ.
Brother say you arent allowed to run a front rack with their carbon fork as each fork boss can only take 1kg, so I remade some stays out of 10mm aluminium tube for the aliexpress rack that P clips to the blackburn cargo cages, spreading the weight between all the bolts. One cargo cage will have my cooker and some freeze dry food, the other will have some clothes / down jacket in a dry bag. Rack will hold my tent. So all in way less than the 6kg total. Also did the two top caps and a headset spacer light mount mod.

Rear rack is made of the same 10mm aluminium tube. Used a $15 hand tube bender to get the overall shape, Crimped each end with the bench vice and then filed them round. Two more P clips with the rubber removed. Painted it all black. Boom, ultimate super simple dry bag rear rack. Will hold an 8L drybag with my sleeping bag, and more clothes. This is probably my 3rd iteration of the simple rear rack with the 10mm aluminium tube, they have all held up to some insane MTB trails for days on end, Total cost of the rear rack was like $25 including paint. Weighs in at just 89grams too!

Reader's wife. I think this may be my favourite bike I've put together, it's so understated, must mean I'm getting old.

I sadly crashed and bent my crazy bar. Anyone have one in 25.4 clamp?? Don’t want to change stems, all the new bars are 31.8 :-(

Somehow my $60nzd crabon fork held up to 200+kms of rough gravel.

This is by far my favourite bike!!!

Somewhere in the north of Denmark...

I dont have a picture but they fit.

Not a dolan, but a alpina fork with 28c gartorskin. fits with both a wide HED c2 rim and a narrow SRAM S60 rim : https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/crowe-rishworth-everyday-26253

Anyone know the biggest tyre size you can fit in an omnium cargo fork?

The website says 37mm with mudguard... Just wondering what would fit without..

Just finished putting together this... Owned the frame for quite a few years.. Will be re built soon as a TT bike for Iron Man next year.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to hunt down a compact sram red crankset

172.5mm length
GXP bottom bracket
110/5

Any help greatly appreciated!

I Should probably give you a 2018 update then.... :-P

Yea Its had an interesting life in the 8 ish years Ive owned it..

I commuted to uni on it for 2 years in the rain, road it a shit tonne during that time, raced on the track a bit here and there, then I moved overseas for a few years and it lived in a box. Now its been rebuilt and in my Dads office. Looking forward to sending it around the track again now that it has the discs on it though! it's by no means perfect, covered in battle scars but still my favourite bike of the stable, just the one I ride the least :-(

Yeap! I found them locally, they're Ambrosio ENER D.M discs. No idea of the history / why they are decaled up with the LA 1984 Olympics insignia.

My Dad won a gold at the 84 Olympics in sailing, so I've grown up with posters in his office of that exact logo, so when they popped up I had to buy them. The bike is now displayed in his office like that.

//:tldr: yea! new wheels! :-)
