    Been waitin for someone to try out the light-bicycle rims on here, tempted to get some when I eventually start my next build. From what I understand they look almost identical to the rims spesh use on their carbon wheelsets, so they should be good! Like how they'll add material to them to make them stronger too if you're wanting a stronger and stiffer rim too, be interested to see how you get on!!

    decided to give them a shot anyway, apparently the same factory roval/spesh wheels are made in....so will see what theyre like, 15 days lead time though so a few weeks till they arrive!

    I'm hoping this means you already own the dog. Because if not, you should!

    The missus feels the same way! Unfortunately not, just the frame for me.

    Shimano M590 middle chain ring.
    Didn't last long September 2012 :shock: need a new BB as well.

    Stopers for the new build, apart for a couple of little bits and some heli tape I now have everything, apart from the forks which I'm waiting on Sram to deliver. Might start a build thread over the weekend, getting excited :D

    Great choice with the brakes! Absolutely love my XT's best brakes I've ever tried by a fair distance!

    Just ordered another pair of Hans Dampfs from Bike-discount for 456, loved them on the Mojo and I think the extra volume might add abit more comfort!

    Jealous :mrgreen:
  • oooh it is LOVELY :)

    suspension is excellent, plenty of grip and huuuge fun in descent mode

    if you're thinking of getting a new full sus and feel you can show your face in public on 26" wheels, i would really recommend one

    I've recently test ridden an EX8 and EX9 - very nice bikes, and seem very well built.

    In 'Large' flavour, to replace the half-inched Anthem 29er - fancied something a bit more lively.

    VERY nice! Get yourself along to Antur at some point, you'll have so much fun on that thing, you will wonder why you didn't go earlier!

    :lol: Seriously, the first time I went down, I was petrified and really slow. After about the 5th run, I was flying down it. So much so, I went back with a HT! :lol:

    Maybe if there's a ride at Coed-y-Brenin or somewhere nearby again, you should join us for the day at Antur, defintely worth it for the skills you'll learn.

    I came very close to ordering that one myself a couple of weeks back, but in medium flavour. Nice bike.

    A pair of Wellgo CNC pedals to replace the V8 copies that have knackered bearings and a new road helmet after hitting the tarmac when an open tubular shredded.
