Mountain Biking

Nice looking bike, I would keep the decals or the red hubs don't make sense

All xt shifters I have bought have come with full length outers (and the end things to chop em up).

That red "hub" is the hub freewheel. The hubs are black

Of which the wheels are only £125 today only on Superstar!

those new switch hubs are nice and clicky ive found.

New frame/wheelset arrived a minute ago. Going up the 650b wheels

Just got to find some bargain forks. Pikes probably.

Nope, Shan.

I was a tart and went for the Steve Mc Queen Porche colour scheme. Just need to wrap the whole thing in tape now, so it doesn't get ruined. 1st bike I've ever been so precious over........not that I'll ever get to ride it with crazy work hours and 2nd nipper on the way...

New Pike should be turning up today for the wifes trail bike. Not bad for ~300 quid in the sales. Especially as I'll recoup a chunk of that when I sell the Fox that's on there currently

It's not even her main xmas gift either

Having to sit on my hands to avoid purchasing a Boxxer Team for ~530 quid to upgrade my 888 RC3 Ti.

Unfortunately very little resale value on the 888 at this point being 26" and a Zoke which hinders my justification...

Wouldn;t be much of an upgrade 6th, that Zocchi is a fantastic fork.

ps: Decided not to sell the bike, can't part with it

Awesome, you would've just ended up buying another bike anyway

Work has decided to do an uplift. Don't think I've been this excited in ages.

hehe, well, tbh that was never in question. I would have bought something in a year's time most likely, but I just wouldn't be able to afford something as nice again any time soon... not to mention the fact that I won;t have connections on the other side that can get me stuff at cost price

Has there been any deals on Reverbs? Need a 31.6mm 150mm for the Aeris.

neil_g · 4 Dec 2015 at 10:34

Shame my old reverb is a 125.

Got my stealth from CRC, wasn't much different.

Are you really tall? I find 125mm plenty, but then I'm tiny.

Begbie · 4 Dec 2015 at 15:14

I'm 6ft, but would love a 150mm reverb. Were on offer on CRC last week, but I think it's ended now. Might be worth waiting for christmas deals.

ive just put a 380/125 on the large patrol and its perfect (im 5'10").

PU7E · 9 Dec 2015 at 15:38

Didn't notice there's now a MTB section, will just leave this here

Begbie · 9 Dec 2015 at 16:34

Is this the new TR? Looks lush

I'm really confused to where you are in the world...

thewanted · 9 Dec 2015 at 17:15

Argh, the TR is so pretty. The levels of want are high.

6ft or just above. Long legs too.. Got a 125mm on the Shan and it's just not quite enough. 150mm I need.

Missed the CRC deal

There's a pretty famous bridge in the background

Was riding down Santa Cruz and took a trip up to Donny while I was there, some amazing riding to be had.

It's actually a one off Zero, Looking at swapping it over to an Aeris next year :cool:
