SICK

My job sees me traveling quite a bit, and recently it was time to use up some airpoints or loose them. So we decided to go to Vagas. We had a couple of sheets of new(ish) 7mm ply from building works so it was bike box building time. The holes were last minute additions to reduce weight - the bike, box and two helmets was 31.9kg - phew. The box worked great - no damage to the bike or the box and the wheels make moving it around easy. We hired a Mary 1-9 from Bike Vagas which was superb. Looks like the bike will be traveling with me more often now.

Hole-saws FTW!

that's some serious chain retention - sure you'll never drop a chain but the weight can't be good!

I'm currently addressing the retention issues on my 1x4, leaning towards the pauls chainguide (cos it's fully adjustable, light and doesn't require a bash ring)

cool, be keen to hear how it works - I was tossing up between the Paul and the MRP 1X - but there's something kind of chunky about the 1X - simple is good (that's the whole idea of the 1X concept)

at the moment it's just got the original front der locked out - functional but oh so ugly

owww (yes, I know - light for the intended purpose compared to a system2, but on a xc bike .... )

just the 32-36 ones or the 32-40s as well (for those of us running 38s)

I'm not sure, I know for sure the 32-36, not sure about the bigger ones

Is that on a VORB certified scale nick???

if they can quote bike weights without pedals surely you can quote a weight for it without bolts
