Santa Cruz High Ball HT


User Error

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I recently got my self a 2nd hand Santa Cruz High Ball frame (m) and this is what I have planned.

 

The frame will be resprayed.

 

Color ideas are still wide open, but I think a simple design and sticking to the original lay out will look clean.

 

Parts:

 

2015 Rockshok Reba RL SA 100mm fork - black

 

Will be going for a 1x11 

 

XO1 crank

XO1 trigger shifter

XO1 rear derailer

XO1 cassette

X01 32/34 chain ring

XX1 chain

 

Stem - KCNC.

 

Bars -  Specialized S-works flat bars

 

Bottle Cages - Specialized side entry 

 

Seat - Specialized Romin Evo Pro with Carbon Rails

 

Tyre's - Specialized Ground Control 2.2 F & R

 

Wheels - American Classic Carbonators

 

Seat Post - Truvativ Noir T40 

 

Brakes - SRAM Guide Ultimate 

 

Rotors - Avid HS1 160 F & R

 

Pedals - Shimano XT   

 

Grips - ESI Chunky 

 

All the SRAM items will be put on order @ months end. Should take 6 weeks to arrive. 

 

Will upload some pics once I start making progress. 

 

Just finished my build on my Giant Glory 1 DH bike.

 

Will do a build thread on that as well.

Welcome to the hub Enzo, Small world we live in. I was on the phone to you earlier this afternoon about a SID WC air leak through the CSU. :P

 

Congrats on the Frame, the Highball is a great bike and Spec looks spot on, :thumbup: any reason for going Reba and not SID?

 

Keep us posted on the build.

Great bike! Have the 2012 version. Bought the frame last year to build a lightweight for the DC. Got it down very light with a rigid fork.

Hi Enzo

Do you have a contact who is doing decent re-spray work ?

I need a quotation on behalf of a customer from Zambia for a warranty claim on a damaged frame in transit

Hi all.

 

So the bike is finally complete.

 

Decided to get XX1 Groupset rather.

 

X01 crank.

 

SRAM RISE 60 wheel set.

 

XX Hydraulic lock out on the REBA along with a 80mm travel conversion.

 

Using my road bike saddle for now until I get a mtb one...

 

Must still get the frame redone, but its fine for now.

 

Going to do the 24 hour MTB race in the solo cat this weekend at Grabouw.
