Your Enduro ride

[Edge_Design]

Very nice! That puppy must be light with those wheels, how are they holding up?

I'm quite a lightweight and I don't need the burliest components... however.. since these newer, longer slacker bikes have come around I am thrashing my wheels pretty quickly..dings all over.

 

Based on my limited (and relatively disastrous) experience with AC wheels on an enduro bike - avoid them at all costs. They get dings in anticipation of hitting a rock.

Yoh! That's mooi. Just one question though.

 

 

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose of that 'thing' ?

[MrJacques]

Build done... almost. Just need some fork decals and a nice burly tyre up front and that's it (oh apart from a Fox 36 maybe).

Grey import?

Front derailleur mount. Would be part of the frame. Suspect the pic in question was looking for the blank off plate that can be fitted after removing the derailleur.

Get hold of Bibi here on the hub ask for a MRP decapitater... not only is it cool but functional... basically closes off the silver patch left behind after you remove the FD

Or just apply some black car touch up paint or nail polish to the area.

That too...

For a less permanent solution, you could also use black electrical or duct tape...resale value and what not. All the above are certainly heaps cheaper than the MRP decapitater (even if it is pretty cool)

Some nice 3D print design out there and any decent printer can do them for probably R50 a pop, if that much......

Hey .... you going as the Hub Privateer ... better pull your socks up

Oh, they're pulled. Just don't know whether they'll stay up there. May need a couple of sock-garters! Or some instant-benefit EPO.

What coil is that? Fox on CC? Thought you would've gone with the piggyback

RS coil sprayed dirty orange. Got the inline 2nd hand from a mate of mine. It's performing flawlessly on another friends reign and on multiple reigns around pinkbike.

Yeah I have the same one feels like the back wheel is glued to the ground, makes rocky stuff a lot more manageable... heard the piggyback is better for heavier guys, something about more oil but hey if it works for you SEND IT! So bleak I'm missing out on ezel
