  1. Did you actually fit it in the parking lot on the back of your car!? :D Not judging, just funny. That's something I would do.
  2. My problem was more with those slow engaging hubs, in technical climbs that really throws me off.
  3. Very hard for me to focus on the brakes with that frame in the same photo...prettiest one of lot IMO.
  4. It's the weakest part of the standard spec (not that there are many) and a must upgrade. I went for Arch MK3 rims at 26mm ID and it's great. Lighter than those DT Swiss OE rims, proper stiff and more than wide enough for 2.4-ish tyres. Worthwhile upgrade all day long.
  5. Personally I ride with a chinbar on my Bell Super helmet, not so much because of the gnarliness of the trails (on social rides I'd go without it) but rather because the risks of competition pushing you beyond your normal responsible limits. Chances of a proper faceplant is just more likely in a competition than on a social outing...well in my case at least.
  6. MDK! Feel like selling? Because Eddy feels like buying
  7. No offence to your bike but my word that is one terrible design decision from Commencal. What the hell did they think would happen!?
  8. Oh no man!! Hopefully the custom decals help with someone identifying it. This is why I adjust my insurance on the same day of any purchase that affects the value significantly...you just NEVER know.
  9. Yup I agree. The value for money is insane. Post some pics of your new ride!
  10. That's a bit steep for some stickers I agree
  11. Oh I see what you mean. Thought we were talking about upgrade from 10 speed.
  12. So? It has bigger range with less clicks and not such a huge dinner plate cog...win, win and win.
  13. Nice man!! Such cool bikes. Really super stoked with mine as well. How exciting is it to get that box...next level xmas feeling. Cool pics btw.
  14. This is a tyre combo I really enjoyed in the past and had a new set lying around. The Onza's are not bad but they're not better either and at a significant weight penalty (and poorer rolling resitance) I'm just not sold. Will probably give them another go at some stage but for now I'm really keen on the tried and trusted.
  15. I removed the original shock sticker, cut out and re-used the "monarch" bit and added a leftover "ROCKSHOX" decal from the stealth Pike decal kit.
  16. As mentioned I don't like default white decals. So what do you guys think: Blue decals matching the frame Or Black decals matching the stealth fork/shock
  17. Yeah also made this rear mud guard out of a plastice bucket. Works great.
  18. Only $18 but be patient as you'll wait about 6 weeks for it to arrive. https://sramnation.com/collections/rockshox/products/copy-of-lyrik-decal-kits#sm.0000d9zebfg7qe3xzhw2lnbt1h7kf
  19. There's a reason the Pike's been the benchmark and shootout winner for years now. Such a great set and forget option. And besides...black stanchions!!
  20. Some new stealth fork decals...hate the standard white ones Before After
  21. Some stealth fork decals...hate the standard white ones Before After
  22. Hey man, I also like a clean bike so I shouldn't judge. Besides, the number of pictures of my bike on my phone can't be normal so let me not pretend
  23. "Will attract dust like crazy"...are we talking about the Tallboy mountain bike or is there an executive sedan with the same name that I'm not aware of? :D
  24. You're probably right. Just a vibe I got, nothing more concrete. Legend talent though.
