In my experience, grease rarely hurts and usually helps. It’s not just for dynamic seals. The reason you’d grease an o-ring is to:

  • Prevent damage during installation due to abrasion, twisting, or sharp edges
  • Keep from drying out and cracking over the life of the o-ring (can also simply replace, but prevention>cure)
  • Aid in a better water-tight seal

In oil&gas tools, every o-ring is greased. The red n’ tacky provided is perfect for this as well.

Did anyone manage to grind down the 270 hanger and get some good pictures of it?

I swear someone with a manual lathe and mill and a stock of @Boardnamics parts to modify could get some good business.

Could you take another picture from above? I am thinking of switching to 270mm hangers…

It’s on 220 now, got the wrong adaptor and couldn’t wait one more day to have the correct bearings arrive from amazon so filed it down last night & everything


I’m also at the point where i would prefer to give up the build rather than give up drop-through

This is hilarious, because you are following the crowd in auto-shunning risers regardless.

I thought you leader?

I have my motors reverse mounted and i think my motors are scrapping my hanger but it could be also hitting bumps with the 1 inch of clearance it has. If i ride a bit while my motors r scrapping the hanger, will it just grind down the hanger to have enough clearance or destroy my motors?

It’ll fuck up the motors, the sharp impact on the end of the can will create a lot of stress on the can and maybe tweak it over

Oh, if i mount it fowards, i only gain .5 inch of ground to motor clearance and im not sure if thats enough for nyc. Bumps might just directly hit the motors first so idk which is worse.
