Jeep wrangler rear ended me, it totally missed my bumper and pushed my frame and hatch in. Hatch won’t close so had to tie it down to get home. 2025 with 14k miles on it. Will they fix it? Or is it totaled? got some good whip lash so heading to the er to get checked out.
This is my first more expensive bike and build. The bike I’ve been riding for the last 3 years was a rebuilt 2007 stumpjumper. Bought this used for cheap, and realized a lot of the parts were older used parts the previous owner switched out, before it was sold. So I decided to do a build with it. Still not 100% done but now I can ride it at least.
2023 air9 frame
Stans Flow mk4 wheelset
Maxxis Recon 29x2.4 tubeless tires
Fox 34 factory fork
Has older avid elixer brakes from previous owner I reused.
Protaper bars with fifty/fifty clamp
Deore 12s drivetrain
Have to add sealant to the tires still but they don’t leak with none in them. And need new front brake pads as the front squeal insanely loud even though I sanded the pads and have a new rotor on it.
I have a niner air 9 frame and it has a sram pf30 to bsa pressed Bb in it. I have a mt801 bottom bracket installed into it. The crankset is a deore fc-m6100. With the deore 12s drivetrain. I installed the 2.5mm spacer correctly on the drive side of the bb according to the instruction. But my drive side crank arm comes close to the frame. The chain is centered on the cassette when it’s in the 7th gear if that helps. Is this a problem or just the way these crank arms are?
I’ve ordered this once from Amazon and thought it was fake so I sent it back. And ordered it from a reputable place I thought ( howler bike park) Is this real or is it fake? I thought the printed check mark meant it was a fake?
I am building a niner air9, and should be finishing it by next weekend. I just received my fox 34 forks in and noticed a nice scratch on the stanchions. I ordered them from universal cycles. I emailed them asking about an exchange and awaiting. Am I right to assume this is worth exchanging or am I being too picky. You can feel it just barely With a fingernail. Doesn’t catch it’s just noticeable.
I just bought a niner air 9 used. I noticed the original chain was way too short on the bike. I went ahead and replaced the chain and followed Shimano recommendations on adding 4 links plus the quick link. Well this was way too long. the derailleur b screw all the way in wasn’t enough. I figured out that the system only works with a chain that has no links added at all. So basically to short. And then it clears the cassette in all gears. But the b screw is only a few turns out from being all the way in even this way. I’m assuming I’m missing something. I’ll get more detailed pics when I get home later but can anyone see what’s the issue here. I’m New to 1x12 drivetrains my last bike was a 2007 rockhopper with a 1x9 on it.
