The first gen V10s ran a santacruz branded Hadley in 12mm if you needed another option.

Got a pressie in the mail today
Cherry red Ti bolt kit from J.A.B, covers just about every bolt on the bike!

That's a sick M-Pire and a nice restoration.

Cheers dude! I did actually finish this one..
Got a mate to bore out the DT Hügi hub to 12mm, converted it to a 54t ratchet and also ran an XD driver for the XO1 DH cassette.
I just couldn't justify spending the money on a new crankset to try shorter arms, stuck with the 170mm diabolus..
Not sure what I'll end up doing with this one. I always wanted to make an idler setup on the main pivot to help improve pedaling and limit chain slap..

It ended up with all Ti bolts top to bottom, custom Ti shock hardware too with flower heads.
