wesley_r Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 tomorrow at about 8:30 / 9 - if I can get these damn brakes sorted
Iwan Kemp Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Bike looks killer. Really like that blue. I'm also at Tokai today to dial the SL-R
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 May be able to hit up a few trails this arvie. Depending on how far i get with little Mayhem's room
wesley_r Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 Rode Tokai yesterday for the first time ever and the bike performed great and very dialled... the cockpit dimensions are now perfect, the 25mm rise / 760mm width of the Deity bars feels spot on! I also love the bike's geometry, which let me get away with murder. Even though there were some obstacles I was too nervous to try, I hit a lot of lines faster and smoother than I would have in the past, so my confidence is up and the bike is helping  Now to get the chain guide fitted, and the new tyre (and convert back to tubeless) and then I'll weigh it just for interest's sake...

wesley_r Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 nice bike  I want to "all mountain" my XC bike  So, what's stopping you? What's your "XC" bike, by the way?
wesley_r Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 Looking good Wes! Wide bars short stem FTW! I'm telling you man, 760 wide, 25 high, 60 stem is the SWEET SPOT for me. I never felt right on the 780 / 20 boobar - never knew so little could make such a difference
