My new single speed XC rig

[Eedubz]

This build all started with me making this post in the injury thread, mentioning that I wanted to build up a single speed XC bike to train on before I got back to riding DH.  Later that day I picked up the frame, seatpost, bars and stem from Hog_

 

Over the last 4 weeks I've slowly been getting all the parts together from various hubbers and the LBS.

 

The build is:

 

Frame:  Mongoose Meteore Comp - medium

Fork:  Fox F100 RL

Wheels:  Sun Ringle SOS wheelset - running ghetto tubeless

Tyres:  Kenda Karma UST front, Maxxis Crossmark rear

Crankset:  Shimano XT

Brakes:  Shimano Deore

 

Finished building it up this morning at Mike's Bikes, weighs in at 11,5kg, not too bad for a thrown together "brakkie"

But you've ruined that 2nd picture with the PnP packets.

Trust me, if the GF wasn't the one holding the bike up, it would have been rubber to couch!

I see Grant came 35th in the ultra marathon on a single speed 29er. That is awesome. Grant if you read this well done mate.
