Brian Fantana Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Added the chainguide and converted to a 1x10 Final configuration bar an adjustable seatpost. Still need to service the fork this week as its squeaking like hell. Very cool bike!!! Makes me wonder if I should not maybe upgrade my current 140mm ride to a 160mm
nickelass Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 nice bike!what front forks are you using,and what travel?the reason I am asking as I am changing mine,and need advice on what to use, in the 160 to 170 travel range.

patches Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Just bought a Reverb for the bike. nice! I don't know if it affects its function, but I run mine with the remote on the opposite side and up-side-down. That way it is less likely to get smashed during a bail... and I can turn the bike upside down to get the wheels off, without having to worry about it
Cav' Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 here's my new AM machine. Ok, so it's not complete yet, but the parts should arrive early next week. I can't wait! SWEET Ride Patches!

That way it is less likely to get smashed during a bail... and I can turn the bike upside down to get the wheels off, without having to worry about it Because I'm running a 1x10, my left hand is virtually redundant, so I bought a right-hand mount and did exactly the same, mounted it underneath the bars on the left hand side. Worked a real treat at Rietvlei yesterday. Edited February 13, 2012 by Thug
Steven M Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I see Rocky Mountains are making a comeback in SA, so I thought I would post mine while its still fairly exclusive! It's a lightly custom Slayer SXC50: https://www.bikehub.co.za/gallery/image/2420-slayer/ Handles like a dream and is a decent climber. I got tired of pushing my DH bike up everywhere!
wesley_r Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I see there's a 2007 Rocky Mountain Slayer 30 for sale elsewhere on the hub My LBS has just started stocking Rocky Mountain, apparently they don't sell easily though

Worked a real treat at Rietvlei yesterday. Awesome! I saw some friends on the spruit yesterday and they also mount theirs underneath. It seems to be a way better method. Keeps it compact.

That's a sweet bike! congrats! As for training places, where are you based? GP, CT, KZN? Just beware though... if the DH bug bites you may see yourself forking out way more cash to get a dedicated DH rig haha! I cracked mine (morewood izimu) in December, Got a Cannondale Moto 1 Carbon as a replacement thinking I won't need 200mm travel again, 160 is fine... 1st weekend on the brand new bike I went to one of the local DH courses. Rode the stuff I was used to on the morewood. Wasn't quite the same so bought another morewood the next day I must say though, I've taken my cannondale to a couple of the jump lines that I usually use either my DH bike or my 4X bike on, and I was mucho impressed by the capabilities of the 160mm carbon steed! So happy trails dude

There was a bunch of new Rocky's on display at the Contermanskloof DH this past weekend and also at least 2 guys racing on Flatlines.
Eddy Gordo Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Does this qualify?? Only 130mm travel more like a trail bike

Capricorn Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 with thug: it's borderline, but my word, what a seksi bike!
