Just had my baby pimped out with some sexy new bits. Really stoked with my new build, the Spitfire came out awesome and the new parts are amazing. I finally got a taste of what Hope brakes deliver and I must say that I'm amazed, the power and control is unbelievable. New Hope Pro 4 hubs don't waste any time engaging and sound like an angel singing in your ear. Hope Cranks are light like a feather, super stiff and have style for days. Sleek new Gamut TTr Chainring and Trail SXC guide are silent and didn't miss a beat this past weekend. It wouldn't have been complete if I didn't get bars and stem to finish off the Blue, Bollywood to the max with Kore Durox Bar & Rivera Stem, looks rad and feels solid.

Some glorious new upgrades to my Banshee Darkside 2015, converted to 27.5 and some amazing parts. Hope Tech 3 V4's are unbelievable, loads of power and modulation and have no issue holding a stoppie at the end of a DH run. Awesome new Pro 4 hubs that sound like you have a swarm of Cicada beetles chasing you down the trail. Hope Cranks, just stunning and stiff. Light & good looking Gamut P30s Chainguide with bash, runs on a rubber "slider" system so its silent and keeps the chain exactly where it needs to be. Topped off with KORE torsion bar and direct mount stem, nice and still and felt great this past weekend.
