The Bontrager Revolt Super X - that I am selling

Hi I have an older model Reba Race, I could possibly get a R7 platinum. Would this be a worthwhile change? While I am at it, anybody else selling a Reba Team/ WC or Fox - 100mm, for XC.

Yep, that is one cool post

Beautiful frame, you would save some weight if you took off all the bubble wrap I am sure you all checked out this site already http://www.light-bikes.com/BikeGallery/

Thanks man, but it is probably not gonna happen. Just had one of those crazy days at the office and had the brain working overtime - anything to get the mind off work

I figure that if I shorten the stanchions, it would lower the headtube of a 26" wheel bike and bring the angle closer to the "correct" one for the frame - if I fit a 29"front wheel. Just thinking. Everybody - forget you read this post

Ok, probably leaving it a 26" Does suspension corrected mean that it is corrected for a frame that is actually meant for 29" wheels - so the head angle would still be pretty much out of kilter Sorry I posted this before I realised that this is what you all have been saying So essentially I could retrofit a 29er fork by shortening the "stancions"?quickdraw2008-09-09 09:51:47

I haven't really done any research into it, but just thought that the rigid fork would, geometry wise, offset the bigger wheel (not sure if what I am saying makes sense).

Hi Does anybody here use a rigid carbon fork on their MTB - 26". How drastic a change is this to having a suspension fork esp on the singletrack (roots and rocks). Also would fitting a rigid fork and a 29" front wheel to my Fisher put the geometry way off? Are there any benfits or is this just a niche thing

Thanks, and by the looks of things her first day out is gonna be a nice muddy one

Not put together purely for weight, but: Frame: Gary Fisher Big Sur Fork: Rockshox Reba Race Wheels: ZTR olympics on Sun Ringle dirty fleas cranks: XTR Derailleurs: XTR Shifters: XT Cassette: XT Seatpost: Thomson Saddle: Specialized Phenom SL Stem: Ritchey WCS 4-axis Bars: Ritchey WCS carbon Brakes: Juicy 5's Pedals: Eggbeater SL

Here she is, from the father of MTB'king Nice old school, external and internal butting - carbon stays Almost complete, brake upgrade to come.

Between the kcnc (not sure on the model, but the VERY minimal looking one) and a Thomson - would the weight difference be worth the surety of a Thomson

Hi, checkd these out and they are freaky light. Anybody using a kcnc seatpost on their MTB? What is the verdict on these posts regarding durability?

True, have not heard bad things - but would it be considered an upgrade over an XTC1?

You mean check the hanger? Will do. Actually meant cables and housing

Probably still worth your while to check it - only takes a few minutes

With the fork set up correctly, there should be no need to be messing around with the compression on the fly. It would not be that "on-the-fly" anyway, cos it is a mission to turn that adjuster knob and concentrate on where you going

Originally posted by quickdraw I might be confused, but would that problem not relate to a Top normal setup? Top Normal = top or highest gear = Smallest sprocket. Low Normal = Lowest gear = LArgest sprocket Exactly! quickdraw2008-08-14 05:48:01

Maybe check your B screw setting Turn the limit screw for the low setting (cannot get to the technical name right now) out a fraction Check if you der. hanger is straightquickdraw2008-08-14 05:19:10

Unless you getting it for nothing, it is not worth it. I have the poploc adjust and only use the full lockout when on the road. Only reason I got the adjust is because it cost me a 6 pack Windhoeks and I had the setup but no remote lever

Hi Anybody have any feedback on this bike? Good/bad?

Hi I know this has probably done it's rounds more than enough times. I have a buddy looking at getting a MTB in the 5k-7k mark new. What is the best bang for buck going around out there?

Thanks man, will go out and get me a proper patch kit tomorrow
