Some Oaks are tendering for bans around here, with this 26er talk. There is a vintage thread somewhere... Don't make me press the report button.

This bike is the cleanest its ever been since new. I've just replaced the rear derailleur cable which required dismantling the suspension pivot to get the outer through the chainstay. It was easy enough to get it out of the cable port up top thanks to the removable covers the frame uses. I broke the chain on my other bike and looked for a worn replacement for it. This bike donated its original chain, now over 2 years old, which had just reached 50% wear and its now running sweetly on my 10 speed hard tail. I bough the cheapest SRAM chain I could find at R285 odd for this bike and its working great. I also replaced the derailleur hanger recently. The wheels are new. The rims were cheap and the rear one has taken  huge strain already but at least I have proper 32 spoke hubs front and rear. I'm looking at getting a narrower stronger rim out back. tyres are Aggressor EXO's at both ends. The front is on backwards - done by accident, but I've left it and if anything it grips better than it ever has. For our local rocky and dry trails I find the tread on the aggressor quite grippy enough but I'm keen to experiment a bit this winter.. The Yari fork has been brilliant - I upped the travel to 180mm and it just works, consistently. Brakes are the standard Guide R's which I hated initially but now quite like. The rear brake needs a warranty replacement for the dreaded "sticking piston when hot" issue. Front pads are still original. The grips are Nukeproof Horizons and match the Spaz top cap colour from my previous Enduro. I liked the Ripmo AF bike name so I made an AF decal for my bike from an old Race Face sticker. The dropper post has already had a service - see the shiny label... Got the bike from Revolution who helped me brilliantly with the warranty claim on my old frame.

Edit: Thanks dude! Has been my dream build for a while.

Jis man. I can’t really compare it to anything as I have been on that Inbred for 7 years. But I dig it. Can’t wait to go fetch it and see how it does here.
