Got a new stem, rawed it. Mum's lost one of my 6mm and my other is in my bag at my friends. Wish people would leave my stuff alone.


People who borrow tools and don't put them back where they found them are the worst kind of people.

I didn't do anything to it today, but I fitted a Tripod seat setup the other week. Went for a Fly post and Jamie at IMG/Proper sold me one of the sample Kevlar covered Proper Tripod seats. It's so much more comfortable than the slim pivotal I was running and looks-wise Tripod beats pivotal without a doubt.

Also bought some of the new Proper TTL forks which I planned on fitting yesterday but I'm going to do it in a few days. They're clean!

Interested to see the seat, did you get the enclosed drop out forks?

I'm interested in how comfortable the tripod seats are compared to the tree. My native/tree seat is the most comfortable seat I've ever had.

I picked up some Titanium bar stock, I'm going to try to make some Ti bolts for my Tree Collet stem. So stoked!

With enough lube and brute force, anything is possible.

It looks real subtle...sort of graphics that you wouldn't notice unless you were looking for them which I'm into, I don't like brands emblazened over my bike.

I went for the open drops, I have Profile titanium button head bolts and whenever I put my bike in the car I have to take the front wheels off so fuck unwinding them all the way out, I'd prefer the closed one but I do that too often to bother.

I can't compare it to the native one but I've ran pivotals from Fit, MacNeil, Mutiny, Shadow and probably a few other brands which I thought felt right but the angle and the shape on the Tripod just feels so much better. I started with the steepest angle but changed it the next day to the mellow one. Both are sound to be honest but the mellow one is more normal.
