[@glennpettersson9002]

I have done the same, different wheels and tyres different bike. Because of disc brakes I can have 26", 27.5" and 700c wheel sets and each makes the bike very different. Thank you for sharing.

[@honza8713]

That’s right, what you say. Thanks

[@tmayberry7559]

I understand your point. With being able to use three different wheel sizes. You have three different bikes in one That my friend is in my opinion an all round bike a quiver killer

Great build, I'd like to do the same! Did the 29 inch wheels make your bottom bracket more elevated?

[@ninjazzrhythm400]

I cut and grinded the H brace on the chain stay for bigger tires. The H brace are usually used for rim brakes which i will never ever use. If you buy a frame for disc brake only, you wont see those H brace im talking about.

[@davidfoster2112]

I think you should be using oil on the freewheel- for instance chainsaw oil or Phil Woods Tenacious oil. Definitely not grease. Also, the bolts that hold the sprockets together are not meant to keep the sprockets tight on the hub. The locking ring is what holds the sprockets to the correct tightness. The little bolts are only to hold the sprockets together when they are off the bike.

[@honza8713]

Thank You for comments. Sprockets refer to video kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4ipqmaDbtCqjZI.

[@independentmind1977]

Chainsaw oil? Really? I'm not being a smart ass, I'm actually really curious. It's something I have in the shed and all my bikes need to be stripped down for a cleaning and care while on the trainer atm.

[@user-zu4nl7bm9e]

If the rider is tall enough, such as over 6 feet height, the S 15.5 or M 17 size MTB frame has nearly the same Stack and Reach as the new ML or L size gravel frame. And retail version KMC chain is much more expensive than shimano, I dont' know why that.

I had the same mechanical double action calipers... they sucks! I replaced it with hybrid mechanical-hidraulic calipers just yesterday after a year of daily pads regulation on the old ones.

[@pedrobarros4837]

What type of brake levers have you used before replacing them?

[@nicodanger13]

@@pedrobarros4837 Levers for mechanical calipers single piston (the original ones). The original ones had less braking power but not a problem of regulation. The double mechanical pinston ones (like the ones in the video) had more braking power but they loose regulation every day...The problem wasn't in the levers but in the little exagonal screws into the double piston calipers that push the pads that can't be blocked. Now, the hybrid mechanical-hydraulic ones seem to have even more power and no problems at all. Same levers remain.

[@honza8713]

Thank you. I'll take that into consideration.

[@sergiosegura4655]

How's it been your experience with those brakes? I've been thinking about using them on a gravel project

After about 3 years the last Keurig stopped working kzbin.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.

Ficou muito bonita. Se estivesse no seu lugar, tentaria manter uma coroa tripla em vez da única. Outrossim, colocaria freios de ferradura para reduzir o peso total, mas haja vista o propósito de pedalar por caminhos de cascalho e terra, os freios a disco são realmente mais profíquos. Qual foi o valor despendido nestas melhorias? Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷

Hi, What's the axle-to-crown length? Is there a big difference changing from 26" suspension? I have a rigid fork for a 700c wheel which id like to put on my 26" frame but measured it and calculated I'd lose about 4.4cm because it's not suspension adjusted.

[@honza8713]

@@davidramos9883 The size of the tire is important. If the tire gets bigger, it won't put on the frame. You need to change the fork to one with no suspension. Don’t put on to 700c wheels in 26” fork.
