Tribar Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Well, finished last week with my Hongfu 29er Carbon Hard Tail build and rode..not raced :-) the Attakwas extreme on the bike with no prior testing!! To put things into perspective, I weigh 100 kg's and rode all the hectic technical downhills at full pace and did a 7:27. I had no issues whatsoever and the frame performed great. Very stiff and responsive.. and obviously STRONG. The components on the bike is as follows:Wheels: Stans Arch rims, dt swiss hubs and Racing Ralph snake skins in front and Maxxis on the backFork: Rock Shock Sid solo airSeat Tube: Hongfu CarbonHandle Bar and stem: Ritchey ProBrakes: XTShifters: Sram xo gripshiftsCrank: Sram XO 3x10FD RD: Sram XOSeat: Specialised Phantom Edited January 20, 2014 by Tribar babse and Meezo 2
