A few Hydra pics

[BruceBrown]

It's just nasty outside with heat and humidity but got out this evening to ride at a park near my home that has about five miles of single track. A few pics from my ride.

How in the world are your bikes cleaner than when they left our shop? @BruceBrown @Cuz Vinny @BillP

Are you guys like pressure-washing them and re-painting them or something??

Looks good! Hoping to receive mine in August. Haven't heard anything about build progress yet from Pushkar.

We are on it brother. I picked up a bunch of frames today from the painter. They apparently weren't able to paint due to humidity. SMH.

We had 2-3 days down time so we re-did the workspace ... much needed cleaning and setup. I am working on getting the art work stuff that everyone commented on. Next week we start churning out more builds.

need to do better on painting ... taking too long right now

Yeah, I use such along with a big ole paint brush but when the dirt gets glued on with water ( mud ) you cain't just brush it off.

Hahaha, yeah, it does have some limitations, but short of washing, it's about as good as it gets.

Great pictures., looks fun.

Do you mind sharing your measurement from top of pedal in down stroke to top of seat?

Large frame right?

Frame is medium. It's about 33 3/8" from the front tip of the seat to the bottom of the pedal in down position. My seat tip is angled slightly down.

I need to raise it a smidge. My crank arms are 155's and I haven't changed seat position since I put them on.

I actually haven’t been riding that much thats why it’s so clean. I don’t ride that often in the summer heat and humidity. Spring, fall and believe it or not winter are my time to ride. Spring is beautiful because everything is starting to bloom and the temps are just right. Fall is fantastic due to the crisp chill in the air and the leaves changing colors. Winter, well there is something about ripping around in the snow on a fat bike that gets my heart going.

I can only speak about the Ultra motor. Having taken one off my Frey and installed the Archon from Wattwagons. I keep threatening to run a small bead of black silicon along the juncture of the plastic cover and the motor casing. But have not yet gotten around to it. This joint is the weak spot, to my thinking, where water ingress could easily be a problem. The wire connectors in there do not appear to me to be at all water resistant. I'm just not taking any chances with a short out and possible death of a motor.

Ah. Much appreciate that information. I was thinking it was a large and you needed seat that tall. Measurement info is perfect.
