added a bike check review for the homegrown:
Seating a tubless tire with Airbrush Hose and compressor:
I am very interested in the green frame. It’s beautiful. If you still have it after christmas, let me know. I have PM’ed you.
Thanks happy holidays
Hey guys, I’m getting into this party now – working on conversion to adventure bike.
What is the bolt thread pitch of the rear disk frame mount for a ’99? – I got M6-1.0s x 15mm and the thread pitch seems different.
I need to start with that, I will also most likely be interested in a flat mount but I will save that for a bit.
My bike came with a Rock Shox Duke Race fork and I just got a disk mount setup 29″ for the front. I have 40c Bokken tire on the way – it should just barely fit. If I can get disk mounted on the rear I’m keeping this as a flat-bar (I have a drop bar gravel bike). I will consider bigger options but I dig the wide reartire/mullet for the death cookie rocks that are present in every local trail.I would also be interested in a flat mount adapter. I have the A2Z red adapter now but we will see how that goes – It did not work with my frame, hence I need a flat mount if there is another set to be made. In the meantime I will most likely get a set of Paul motos so I can run my other road wheels or build a 650B.
Update: 12/9/2022:
I got a 700x40c Bokken and it just fit with an inner tube but tubeless it rubbed. So I got a 36c setup tubeless on the front today. It clears by about 4mm and only rubs a tad when bottomed out. I’m calling the front sorted for now and moving back toward getting the rear setup for disk now. This is my first time riding 700 in dirt, first time riding disk brakes (even if they are cable pull), and first time riding tubeless. Learned a lot in the process.
