So I changed my fork from and old rockshox fork that had oversize steerer where I used giant OD2 stem and spacers etc.

 

Issue now is I replaced fork with normal tapered steerer, replaced the spacers but still play in the headset, guess the inner top headset bearing must be where can I get headset compression bearing 44/56mm, don't want to spend R2k on hope headset etc

For the Momsen STR folks and the hubbers who love tan sidewalls

 

I fell in love riding this over my dual suspension

Very good looking build. The tan sidewalls work so well with the paint on that frame. A steel hardtail built right is special...

Thanks man!

 

I was skeptical at first, but they go well with the green

 

Steel frame also handles so much different to an alu frame, I'm enjoying it

It's the 2020 version... the good year is at an all time low.......

Bike was sold last week to a very happy chap in Jhb.

Couldn't get the front tyre's writing to match the rear ;) so decided to toss them before the sale and slap on some reckon race rubber with tanwalls.

Below last pic before she was boxed and send to her new owner.

Will sure miss the sound of that chris king hub when coasting

Nothing for now, but maybe an enduro rig in the future...

No idea on the grips, stole them from the wife's bike
