Salsa Beargrease Carbon - fat!

Re:

Shamus, your bikes are true works of art.

I truly don't like to criticize but... 6" rotors just look so wimpy on the Beargrease! Have you considered 7" f & r or 8" front rotor? I know they would add weight but surely the bike would benefit from more stopping power up front with that MASSIVE footprint? :shock:

 

[Shamus]

Yes, I admit that... 160mm is too small at front.
I did´t have 180mm at that time, but I will change it

Hi Shamus

In see you're running a Next SL crankset on your Beargrease - I'm trying to do the same but struggling to find a BB - which BB are you using?

Thanks

Re:

Bottom bracket is Race Face CINCH BB92, without sleeve.

Couple new pics also...

Re:

That's really helpful - thanks. Which axle cranks are they? 170mm spacing or 190mm? Just worried about the 170mm clearing the chainstays?

 

[Shamus]

170mm and no problems...

Wheel update... Carbon Nextie 90mm rims and new 45NRTH Dillinger 5 -tyres.

Damn it! I love that bike and the incredible scenery which you have to take pictures in.

The matching Rolling Darryls looked sharp, but the carbon rims and Dillinger 5s take it to another level. Looks like primo conditions, too.

scenery which you have to take pictures in.
