Nice guys, some real beauties here

[Hairy]

Hairy, where did you get that pic?! That is my bike!

 

Yo TH ... nice bike ... I got it off the Ispydafly blog site if I recall correctly!

 

So how does the bike ride?

My SSAMHT (Single Speed All Mountain Hardtail)

Nice bike Flowta! I like that chain tensioner, makes the bike look uncluttered and neat ....

[Cav']

Nice flowta, whats the weight of that fork?

Thanks, that's the reason I got that one. also did away with the QR lever on the rear wheel and have one of these instead

Nice flowta, whats the weight of that fork?

 

1.6 kg (150mm travel)

[NotSoBigBen]

Like these I just 'happen' to have lying around - 2 problems ..... wrong colour but that I can get over, don't have the allen key with the 'little' hole in to tighten them

 

How difficult would it be to drill an allen key?

I'll have to get something like this. The rear wheel keeps on slipping out. Pity though, those green Loaded skewers came at a bit of a price

@notsdobigben, heman - are you sure that is an alan key? not maybe a safety torx - that has a hole in it - you can buy a set at midas for less than R50 - not worth trying to drill it out.

 

Somtimes alan keys fit into Torx nuts, but they damage them, and using the correct keys will save trying to get new bolts.

Nope definitely a 5mm allen key with a small hole in the middle .... I may get a mate to 'dremel' the piece out of the QR so I can use a 'normal' allen key

Here is my OnOne Scandal with its new Xlite fork installed

[Hairy]

Nice Steve ..... is that a carbon fork and that bike must be rather light!

Ah, alright.

Yeah, she is a beauty and rides like a dream. I have fat 2.4 Ralphs on which smooth things up nicely. Weighs just under 8kg!

Even if you only do it for the photo:

 

Remove the speedo, bar ends, bottle cage, bombs and holder....

Hi Hairy, yes its carbon. I wanted a Niner fork but suppliers stuffed up the order and after eight weeks of waiting I received a lovely but useless tapered fork. Got this one from Grant. I think it is just as nice as the Niner fork but it is cheaper.

 

The bike is not as ligtht as you would think. As it stands there it comes in just over 9kgs
