Reader’s Ride(s) – Thomas’ Norwegian Beargrease

IMG_6435

Winter greetings from Slemmestad (“Badlands”) in Norway. I’m Thomas and I’m a happy owner of a Beargrease XX1 with some light customization to the build spec that I bought from a local store in 2015.

In general I do both road and MTB biking (Hardtail) and in the last 12 months enjoyed the venture of Fat-biking.

My Beargrease spec as follow:

  • Full XX1 kit, brakes and drivetrain. At the moment I’m running with a SRAM chainring X-Sync 34T although probably change down to 32T by spring time.
  • Whisky Parts NO.9 70 mm rims and NO.7 seatpost and bar.
  • Race Face Turbine stem.
  • Specialized Phenom Expert saddle.
  • Summer rubber is Maxxis Mammoth and Winter 45Nrth Dillinger 4.
  • Click. Shimano XT Trail.
  • Grip from Lizard skins.

Here are some photos from my recent Beargrease trips.

    That is one cool wall mount. I will use that idea, but make a stand that can be moved. It will also be double decker for two bikes. I like the storage in the middle and the surface for the helmet.

      Thx Bret, it’s a great way to store bikes. Cool, looking forward to see your version. Have one more higer up on the wall for my race track bike :0)
      Both wall mounts are made spesific to each bike hence road and mtb have different geometric frames. Road version works perfect for helmet.The mtb needs some friction to preventiv helmet from sliding off so i used dobbelsided tape for that.
