Eldron Posted November 13, 2013 Share FYI: SRAM 10 speed shifterswork with their 10 speed MTB RDs (both use exact actuation)Their Apex range also has a wide range RD http://www.sram.com/...rear-derailleur Have a brand new set of Apex Shifters that you can have for cheap cheap, if you're interested Indeed. I'm a Shimano man through and through so my answer was based on using their stuff. As far as I know (and that aint much when it comes to SRAM) all their stuff is 1-1 ratio so anything will work with anything. Please correct me if I'm wrong! @maffias - it's an Xlite fork I picked up at CRC. I've since sold it and moved to the PRO XC-R (see attached). It fits better with the round steel tubes of the Niner. More traditional looking. The Giant MonsterCross is back to being a mountain bike and the MonsterCross bike is now steel, orange and Niner :-) jcza, rouxtjie, nonky and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted November 13, 2013 Share PS which is the right bb7 to get http://www.chainreac...ke/rp-prod67750 or http://www.chainreac...ke/rp-prod79346 As far as I can tell....either! Depends if you like silver or black. R100 difference. Looks like you can get the road ones in 140mm rotor if that floats your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted November 13, 2013 Share ag koot...another question road bar....which width..40 or 42 or 44? Wider is better. Jumping a MonsterCross bike is tough with bike courier size bars! Edit: Also try and get straight bars as opposed to the curvy track style (I'm talking the top of the bars). I initially popped track bars on because I thought they'd be a bit stronger but the curved tops really hurt my wrists and caused interesting ventures into bushes previously unknown.

Eldron Posted November 13, 2013 Share http://www.giant-bic....1/14819/66151/ What do you guys think? Ack ack - you're killing us here! Don't let the man force his franchised goods upon thee! Arise and build thy own. Same rule as SSer - the first one has to be built using bits from your garage, bedroom and friends. It's kinda nice.

Eldron Posted November 13, 2013 Share Oh and damn you Rouxtjie! Whilst chatting to Mr. Shimano about gearing ratios I ended up buying a Niner EMD - the old round tubed one (model before the hydroformed stuff). Not sure what it will become yet though... Thank you Rouxtjie! rouxtjie and RossW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted November 13, 2013 Share whahhaha booom that exact round tubed niner will be my monstercross creation.... I like the round tubed stuff - more comfy than the hydroformed stuff and the semi traditional look also appeaks for a "social bike". That hydroformed Air9 I had was stiff as...well...urrr...a very stiff thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
