Five Things We (Sometimes) Miss About Older Bikes
Like MartinKS said: Always use the old cable as fish tape. The most efficient way to do that depends on the specific cabling arrangement on your bike. Once i accepted this as a mechanic internal cable jobs never really took much more time than external cable jobs with the exception of aero road bikes and tri bikes with internal bar routing and other "features" designed to handicap their practical use.

Review: Park Tool DAG 2.2 vs Coherny Derailleur Hanger Gauge Tool
ruler (basically free, slower), or rohloff (faster). Anything else is a waste of time and money

Review: Park Tool DAG 2.2 vs Coherny Derailleur Hanger Gauge Tool
the spoke tension app that uses the microphone is pretty good--to a point. I make sure to get a couple good readings and then tension the remainder by ear.

Review: Park Tool DAG 2.2 vs Coherny Derailleur Hanger Gauge Tool
any time shifting is problematic the derailleur hanger should be investigated. Any time a derailleur hanger is installed it should be aligned.

Jun 14, 2022Trek Ticket DJ Short
$300 USDSelling my ticket DJ frame. Short. 10x135 axle. Includes headset, axle, and dropouts. Takes a tapered head tube. $300 Shipped.
Extremely stiff and maneuverable. Would be great for a smaller shredder or someone that likes smaller bikes.
Frame is in good shape. Minor scuffs to the clear coat.
Things i would consider trade value on: an i9 hydra non boost front hub in black. Magura MT7s. Deity carbon bars.

May 31, 2022Trek Ticket DJ with Profile Goodies
$900 USDSelling my Ticket Signature DJ
It's a short. Reach is around 410mm and wheelbase axle to axle is around 1030mm. Great for people wanting a more maneuverable bike, or people coming from a BMX background. I'm a hack though so i need a long bike that feels more like one of my mountain bikes. No expenses spared build except for the fork. Was going to save up for a marzocchi dj but decided to go a different direction.
I can ship at buyer's expense. Would also be willing to drive up to 2 hours from Knoxville TN to meet someone half way. Or come down for the day and try it out at Baker Creek pump track. Will consider parting out if someone offers on the frame. Will consider trades for a DH bike or a 27.5+ frame + cash. Will consider credit on a few specific items: magura brakes, deity cockpit, industry nine hydra or factor non boost front hub.
This is the same frame that's been in production for a while now except that Trek had gone to 12x142 rear axle and now only offer it in a long. Same neato forgings at the rear dropouts with nicely designed tensioner. Same provision to run gears and a chain guide. Lots of impressive hydroforming and gussets.
Frame is in good to excellent condition. There are some scuffs to the clear coat and a couple of small nicks on the non drive chainstay.
Handbuilt wheels:
Profile Elite 36H rear hub laced to high-end eyeleted rim (i believe they're Mavics but may of been DT swiss)
DT Swiss FR440 36H hub laced to eyeleted rim.
Manitou circus comp fork 100mm tapered
Renthal fatbar lite 740mm width 30mm rise
Renthal Apex stem 50mm length
Profile 170mm cranks with 25T profile spider
Sram level brakes (Not Pictured)
Chromag Overture saddle
Oneup pedals
Bontrager Rhythm Elite Seatpost
