Yes, they were made by an ex Mountain Cycle employee.ilmfat said:shawn: wasnt the infusion like a mt. cycle knock off or somethin? dont know anything about the "politics" but it always looked like something MC would do.

Or in the words of the great Homer "sophistamacated" :thumbsup:coreyzupka said:Damn, thats sophisticated
That trail is in my back yard :thumbsup: It's been raining nonstop for nearly 2 weeks and most of my trails are like a creek now (2 inches of running water everywhere) and this was the driest. I just wanted to ride a bit so took the bike out for a quick few laps. It was actually slightly raining/misting when I took this pic so that's why it looks foggy. A lot of my pics are from my back yard because I don't like to stop riding when I'm somewhere else :lol: I've got a good mix of hills and various terrain to play on.ilmfat said:sasquatch: wheres that trail in ur pic? thats a good lookin trail. hopefully its close.
:yawn: Let's see you try bud :smilewinkgrin:ilmfat said:ill tell you what, when i see those green rims ill pretend to have a mechanical (as there is NO WAY i could chase him down) and ill smack him around for u
You just made my day 10x better :lol:ilmfat said:i friggin hate you
Here is another pic I snapped the other day, this trail is a bit wider due to it being used for quads in the summer, the center is shallower because of mountain bikes and dirt bikes, so as you can see there was about 2" of flowing water (it's downhill, live a small river). From all the action it sees in the summer and how hard packed it becomes, it actually wasn't too squishy/muddy until the 3rd lap. I've got a few more pictures but I was having trouble sending them from my phone to my email to upload them, and of course this phone doesn't have a memory card that I could simply use.ilmfat said:dude, if i came to that trail, all id do is ride.
thats a good looking trail.
You've motivated me to give uploading those other pictures another chance...so here you are broilmfat said:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dude. i seriously hate you. i wanna zap you with my mind or something.
that looks like my kind of trail.
Well, I was putting it back together. I have all the parts, then I got to involved with the carbon build and I haven't finished it. I wish it had a rear disc tab. I'm not a fan of v-brakes. And I just haven't had the drive to finish it. So, I was thinking about selling the frame. If you are interested, PM me. It's a medium, I bought it from Cambria and they were blems. So, it has a paint blem on the top tube. It has a little chain rub on it, but other then that it is in great condition. I'll take some pics and post them when I have some time. I want to build something different, but I just don't know what yet.ilmfat said:shawn: id love to see some pics of the infusion. that bike always called to me back in the day. weird thing is, its got the same shape (ish) as the ellsworth enlightenment, and i think the ellsworth is hideous. (sorry i said it, but there it is.)
Don't **** with me son :lol: Assuming you watch t.v. and have seen my commercials, you know what happens to dudes that mess with sasquatchilmfat said:sasquatch: you better look out for a big apple equipped jabber.
cant catch you on a bike, so ill have to surprise you in a parking lot.
Watch our for that ilmfat guy, he'll getcha what you aren't looking. My suggestion for the chain issue is ride the chain with a tensioner for a while and let it stretch, then throw it on with the half link. See if that works. I ran into a similar issue with my bike where the chain fits perfectly when it's new, but after one ride it stretched too much and needed a tensioner.quick_2 said:'09 Trek 6700

Never rode singlespeed until now, usually ride a 1x9 but i figured id try it just for fun... seems to have been a good idea and its growing on me, as long as my legs can keep up
Tried to fit the chain without the chain tensioner but with a half link it was a hair short and with a fill link it was too long
Tried a 16t cog aswell but i suppose it will have to live with the tensioner.
I really didnt want to have a tensioner so i could ditch my hanger and never have to worry about it bending again.. any suggestions?
Very good point, I did not even think of this.yourdaguy said:Don't cut it off. You will never be able to stretch a chain again when you need a new chain.
