Had it for about 2 years, upgraded lots of parts along the way, most recent were the forks, upgraded from Rockshox Dart 2 to Rockshox Tora 318 Air + Poploc

+ 1 Nice colour coding with those tyres.0 -
Every time I decide NOT to get some Red tyres, someone puts a pic on, and it's cool!
So, by looking at this, it's gonna cost me £50, LOL!0 -
At first when I put the tyres on I thought they were a bit over the top but now I think they look really good
+1 for red tyres!0 -
So...you gonna donate some cash for my tyres? It is YOUR fault!!!0

Splottboy, I'm sorry my bike is so spectacularly good looking that it's making you buy red tyres... 0

lesz42, Nice Bike, did you have any problems upgrading to 9 speed because I'd like to put mine on nine using roughly the same components?0
-
still 8!
might be going 9 near the middle or late summer, no reason to change?
wheels came first, then the fork, then chainset, cant see going to 9 will make a big difference?
my plan is to get XT 9 speed cassette, 9 speed chain (KMC) deore front mech, and a XTR rear shifter
then change to XT rear mech when the slx one wears out/breaksGiant Trance X0 (08) Reverb, Hope Hoops 5.1D, XT brakes, RQ BC, Works Components headset 1.50 -
