Gee the wheels are small.

Not really, those are 6.0x29, the sidewalls make the wheels look small.

 

[BurnieM]

Money all spent. Very happy with my parts choice. They’ll perform faultlessly and do everything they should say after day. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, I say.
It’s being built to ride, not win VitalMTB bike of the day.

Or both.

Proofed and risen.

Have you taken the spacers off the spring yet? I would happily purchase the middle sized one off you if you have..I can't hambo one anywhere.

Have you been getting much time on the bike?

Just swapped out the DHX2 for yore Öhlins TTX air this morning. Will try it soon, but after a glorious weekend (both days riding the Stanton), the weather has been utter porridge. I’ll head out on an already trashed Orange later tonight.
Swapped out wheels/tyres also for local trail duties, and it’s rolling a lot better with current combo.
I could only sell the spacer to someone who would run if the wrong way. No one would do that, so I’ll hold onto it.

Down to a svelte 15.6 kg with pedals now. It’s virtually a World Cup cross-country bike.

Not bad for a FS Steelie, that Cotic I built up is a 14.6kg HT

Just EXO minions, so fairly light tyres. Still heavier than Felixs 165/170 Revel with DH wheels/tyre and Lyriks.
Not fussed in the slightest by the weight. So nice to ride.

Errr... thats 14.6kg with a 2.35 Dissector and a 2.25 Ardent. Not even Minions.

Trying to use up my humongous stack of tyres.

Very nice rig. That’s a very respectable weight. I got my ally raaw down to 15.6 with my trail wheels.

+1. He hasn't even shaved his legs, put on 2.1s or got his lycra bib on yet. Just a warming up.

What makes you think that?

 

[Mr Crudley]

He has standards........Errrr......doesn't he?

 

[pink poodle]

That yellow on the ohlins has ruined it for me, unsubscribed.

What makes you think that?

I'm sure he will show us when he does.

I thought he rode in ass less chaos?

Bike looking good @moorey very bobby on the climbs at all?

Oh that would indeed be chaos.

Don’t find it bobby at all, and I never flick the climb switch. Bobs less than an Orange, probably due in part to the steep ST.
