Guest Omega Man Posted August 23, 2012 Share This is my new (to me) Yeti ASX. First ride was this arvo. Turns out my Mbuzi was way too short so it's going to my mate Vince's son. It will make a great little dh bike for him. This thing rides up like my mbuzi but down I'd go so far as to say it's better than my Izimu was. Amazing what a linkage can do. There's a rockshox monarch that's going on there as soon as the blown seal is sorted. My Avid Codes will also make their way onto there soon too. It's a bit tatty so if anyone knows of a place that can acid wash or soda/bead blast it please tell me. Sorry for the crappy cellphone pic.

Guest Omega Man Posted August 27, 2012 Share My Yeti ASX all done. When the money comes I'm hoping to get it bead blasted raw. I've "found" some yeti logo files on the interwebs. Gonna do those in black. I've put my Avid Codes with straitline blingy levers on and changed it to the 160mm travel setting. hopefully it will pedal up a bit better.

CharlG Posted August 28, 2012 Share So did you finally get the Large or the Medium frame? Decided on the large...Medium i think would have definitely been that tad too small...Large feels good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlG Posted August 28, 2012 Share I can't see on the pics very well but.... are those toeclip pedals on the bike? Hahahahah! Well spotted.... As mentioned in my first post, still looking to get a decent set of flat pedals...the shoes im currently riding in and those standard pedals that came with the crankset dont work very together so hence the toeclips... Busy looking at pedal options...pretty keen on some crank bro's 50/50's...but no one has stock! Other suggestions??? Ok, i'll stop talking now...lol!
