Hairy Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Well at least you will be able to stop that sled quickly
Mada3400 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 once you get those slx brake on the bike, let us know how they are, i'm getting mixed responses, bikeradar says that they are the best that you can buy and i know i guy who didn't like them, i wanna use them for dh and get rid of my XOs (they are amazing and i love them, but i'm thinking that they might need a better home)
TheV Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Just got this overnight. Thanks to TheV. Great person to deal with. Every time I touch a set of those SLX's I am soooooo tempted to swop my Avid XX"s on my SB-66 to these.... They are better looking than the XT i.m.o and do the same Job!....
TheV Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 XTR Cranks! .... going big hey Uncle! I hope those XTR's fit that frame... I just had some bad luck with trying to put those on a Yeti BigTop 29er... no way it fits... had to downgrade to XT... let me know!

DONE!! Anyone interested, I'm willing to trade a set of brand new Avid XX"s for just about anything, even for a look up your girlfriends skirt...

Unclerico Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 whats happening here? still waiting for the frame to arrive,should be next week,got to ride a complete bike around the Morewood Factory on Monday,They have one built up for photo shoots. I have ordered the rest of my parts through rush sports,Cane Creek H/SetE-13 Dual ring chain guideRenthal low rise fat BarsSpank trail stemShimano press fit bb 92xt 10 spd chain and 11-36 cassette Super keen,just so hard to wait haha
Unclerico Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 So how was the factory parking lot test ride like? haha awesome,bike feels super plush but at the same time does not bob under pedaling,weighed it. It came in at 12.5 kgs not bad for a 150mm bike Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, RossW and (Deon) 3
