It is! It’s a nifty little thing, miles more reliable than a new dropper and at a fraction of the cost!

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out the video, here’s my Reynolds 853 tubed Jamis Dragon Pro build for ya weekends viewing! My Instagram and build list is in the description. This build isn’t technically “finished” yet. I still have some stickers to put on, wheels to service, frame bag to make, dropbars eventually, bolt on skewers, more aggressive front tyre etc. Cheers! -Adam/ToastyRides

I fell in love with half-link chains for builds like this.

WOW! looking great! love what you did to the crank!! cutting it is genious!!

Very good job. Finally, fun in the mud. Cool.

Mantap pak SEPEDAH nya...👍👍👍

Sweet build mate! Crank spider mod was particularly interesting. Initially, I figured you'd swapped the spider for a non-integrated option (based on IG teaser snaps of the finished Dragon) but cutting the riveted ring off came up a treat! Super tidy!

Thanks! Haha yeah I’ve always wanted to cut the riveted chainring off 😆 I’ve talked about it with mates before and this was the perfect opportunity to do it, it worked a treat! I’m sure it could be done cleaner, but the more material you take off the weaker it will get so I decided to leave it as it is 👍

Beautiful bike and build! Keep the videos coming!

Another tip is to buy a full half link chain and then use it for the half link masters. For the price of 3-4 masters you can buy a full chain and have all the links you'll ever need.

Definitely! Works out way cheaper 👌 3/32 half link chains were pretty expensive and far away at the time 😣 I have a heap of 1/8” half links kicking around though 😎👌

Awesome. I love this stuff. It's versatile af that 26" mountain bikes have ~350mm clearance from dropouts to crown/brake bridge, which is more than road bikes, so they can run 700c wheels with tires up to 35. Versatile af.

I have a reynolds 853 (mtb) frame built here in the states in 1990. Turned it into a 1x7 bmx-ish cruiser, 2.2" tires (road style), paint (emerald green) job was nice & still looks 👌. So comfy it's my daily driver now. Cheers! 🍻

Very nice steel frame!! Steel is real! You scored! BB7 mtn calipers are great, you need V levers though. The road version isnt as powerful. Get at least a 180mm rotor. Ive been using the same 3 BB7s since they 1st came on the market in the late '90s. You can rebuild them!

Very nice.

After about 3 years the last Keurig stopped working kzread.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf initially was able to unblock, however eventually we couldn't fix. That one was a replacement unit sent by the manufacturer after we had problems with our very first Keurig. This works fine (lol, at least for now) however I didn't realize the water reservoir was so much smaller than our prior unit. With 2 people having one or two cups of coffee each morning, it seems like I'm refilling it daily. Otherwise just happy to have the convenience of pod coffee vs. making a morning pot.

Look online or take it to a bike shop.

I have an 18" Voodoo Hoodoo that I set up with 27.5 I could squeeze in if I used an iKon on the rear but I could never get comfortable with it. With 26" it was okay but 27.5 the saddle height was weird.

Hello. Great idea and perfect implementation. Could you tell me again (because i can't understand exactly - I'm not native english). Do you use a wide chain and chainring (single speed) or narrow (8 speed)?

Hey! I used a 3/32 (narrow, 8 speed) chain on this, with 3/32 chainring and cog 🤙 this sized chainring from Surly works best with a 5-8speed chain (according to them) 👌 I do use wide chains on Singlespeed, too, just not this time

Can you put a rigid fork where a bike once had a front shock? Thank you

Yes. Just use a fork that's a slightly bit shorter axle to crown. The same as the suspension fork minus the sag. eg. 470axle to crown-20-30 sag=440-450mm a-c fork.
