Brian Fantana Posted February 7, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted February 11, 2012 Share Just bought a Reverb for the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted February 13, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted February 13, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked a real treat at Rietvlei yesterday. Edited February 13, 2012 by Thug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M Posted February 14, 2012 Share 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!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
