Not a rockhopper!

Well, I'm either stupid or you lot are useless at convincing me I didn't need a full sus. A huge thanks to the lads at Evans, Woking for taking the rockhopper back in exchange for this (and a few more £££).
Pretty standard apart from my S-Works carbon bars and stem. Wellgo MG1's should be here soon

A little detail that I though was quite nice where the cable for the front mech passed through a section of the frame.


Will be over Swinley ASAP!

XTR carbon rear mech and a non-series (deore maybe) crankset?
Methinks you made the better choice of the two - it's a stunning looking bike and I dare say it'll perform well.

And the kitchen is the perfect place for a bike, i mean, why have a kettle, fridge, oven and NOT a bike... :roll: haha
That's just typical Spesh
Went over swinley but it was very short lived... got a puncture that wrecked the tyre and tube, I can only think it was one of those really thin/spikey tree stump thingys
I did however have enough time out there to get a feel for the bike... I have made the right decision, the difference the rear shock makes is amazing!
That's a nice feeling when you've just spunked lots on a new bike isn't it?
Did you rip the tyre wall open?

Yup sure is, just glad evans took the hopper back with no fuss at all. I thought the spec of the hopper was good and that upgrading to fox talas rl's, elixr carbons etc would only be noticed to a small degree but boy it all adds up and completely transforms performance!
Not the sidewall, bang in the centre of the tread directly opposite the valve (coincidence)?
Was going down a fast decline that was quite stony, just as I got to the bottom ready to shoot up the other side the tyre went. Made a real noise too - pssssft, psssft, pssssft as the hole passed the frame - I thought Id got something stuck in the rim.
Plus.....white is the new black...
Try keeping it clean though...
