Apocalypse Death Project

Looking for an MTB drivetrain, but with a twist.  So went with this to give me more 'streetable' gearing on a robust setup

After much debate and toiling over...I landed on this!  Big rubber, burly to carry the world and able to cruise over ANYTHING!

What other bars can do so much so efficiently?  Jones H bars for a bike that can do so much, so efficiently!

This one was a fluke.  I wanted Onyx for the silence!  But the cost!? UGH.  I got a set of Bitex on my Solaris Max Stan's Flow wheelset and love them!  Pretty quiet, smooth, rolls great...sooo...less costly and very nice!

I  had to.  Wanted to match the valve stems!

Deciding on Nextie was hard...yet easy.  The Best low-cost carbon wheels on the market!  And super customizable!  Matte 3k carbon, outline purple lettering, Bitex/SP hubs, silver nipples, 50mm wide!  All thanks to Speedgearbike.com

GX Eagle is some of the best stuff out there. No sense spending money on the high-end stuff if you don’t need to. 

The RF Stuff just works and is pretty universal.  No funky spindles or BB's.  Just BSA 30mm!  A go to.

I was going to go with a set of formula brakes, then thought about TRP‘s again. But for the money? Nothing beats a Magura. So I thought we try the MT5 this time around. 

MucOff Oil-slick valve stems and titanium brake rotor bolts...attention to details.

I use a Schmidt on my SOMA, but a just as good but less costly SP might be in order for the ODP. Was going to reuse the Schmidt, but am going TA on this build

Made in Wales and amazing!  I have a few things of theirs and love their stuff.

Wheels Mfg BB's!  Made in the USA and a great BB.   A go to for the money and quality!

Came with the bike and stainless!

A take-off from the old GDP as it's fits the "Tank Green"

 This one is new!  I usually use brandX, but they didn't have a 110 mm drop and external route.  So one of the best of the rest...PNW!

I love using these on the brakes if available.  Cleans up room on the bar, especially Jones bars.  Even though they have tons of room, this area is always a bit tight.

It works and works well!

Searched high and low.  Decided on Overland and Local Deluxe for carrying capacity, weight and cost!

Reusing the best of the best in bags!  Oveja Negra.  And they just work well, fit the new bike perfect and match the scheme!

USA made and super nice!  I have micro, large panniers and this grocery bag!  Love their stuff! 

These are spares til the REAL rims arrive...just need to get this badboy done and will use these on something else eventually.

Ditto on the rear!

Yes, these fit the 3" tires!   Only issue is the front one's struts are too short.  We'll fix that!

I was looking for something for the "front" rack to hold extra stuff and not make the light look like a honking nose!  This will do nicely.

I got these for the front for some hardcore Overlanding, but will use them for everyday light use as well.

I was going to stick with the WTB Rangers, but was torn.  So putting these on the Nextie carbon wheelset will be the go to tires, the others will be back up use only.  I also have a set of Surly Knards.  Go figure.

I've used Supernova in the past, but I heard these are the best of the best!  We'll see soon enough!

Wired into the headlight and complete with brake function, because...why not?!

This thing is a beast!  The light output is crazy!  And just a heads up?  Haven't used it much, but over a year later it's still FULLY charged!
