Spez has a special on their 2.3 ground controls at the moment (not the T7 casing) 

Thanks, but I have a set of bontrager xr4 which I love on any trail and condion, set of Maxxis rekon race and ikon, a schwalbe racing ray (the new ones still cutt as easy as the old that's why only one) and a vittoria barzo. All with minimal mileage. 

So I would either need to ride them klaar or build a bike and use a set (which I'm considering) or selling some of them.

New bike day tomorrow... back to the trusty hardtail😍

Got moeg with sukkeling with my generic bike stand. Bit the bullet and got this Park Tool one. I can see it will be worth every penny after using it once.

Had a steel Farr before this. Parts was not bad so I just upgraded the frame.

Undecided, will likely keep it if I do go do some multi day enduros next year 

 

 

bike is over 15kg now 

Lol only 15?. 
 

sell it, you wont miss it. It will feel wooden after riding s coil for a week.
I also got me a coil a few weeks ago. fox DHX.
I Up/downgraded from a Fox Factory X2 (how ever you want to look at it lol). And i can honestly say it transformed my bike for the way I ride it. i really feel that for larger folk (90kg+), having to run an airshock at its upper limits ito psi doesnt make for nice riding bikes in the rear at least. My X2 on my bike just always felt too progressive, pogo’ey.

Im not too sendy…and just plow through things most of the time due to lack if skill ☺️. The coil literally just deletes rocks from the trail.
Magic carpet ride…🎶a whole new world!🎶 Haha

im lucky my frame geo with the single pivot means it climbs pretty good with almost no bob even without locking the shock out, but even if it did…the extra half kilo it adds is totally worth it. Since it went on an enduro bike i just paired it with a 30T chainring too. Not like you ever use 30/10T going down a trail.

New tyre day for Simone 

[Me rida my bicycle]

I got the adult version of Lego 🤣

To think this all started because I had to many tyres 🤣 

Been hiding parts all over the house till I had everything 🤞🏻

Well she came out better than expected. 

There's just something about a raw frame especially in the sun light ☀ 👌🏻

Surprises :

the DebonAir spring feels so much better than older Rockshox, nice plush feeling without just running through all the travel 👌🏻

The budget friendly Deore shifts as good as the much more expensive XT. 👍🏻

All and all quite happy now for the next project 🤣😂

2 months ago i had a stem lying around in my parts bin….there was some dust on it, but no real soil or anything. The garage tends to get s bit humid with the dryer in there and all this rain. Next thing I knew the stem grew some bars, levers and a frame. I came back the next week and it had grown wheels and a groupset too. I have a fully grown Banshee now, kind of annoying i know 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sounds like a good garage to have. 😁

I told my wife all these parts where sent to the wrong address and without a return address or contact number. I had no choice but to put it together so I don't lose any small bits 😄
