BlackSpur

Looks light! I'm a big fan of the old XTR cranks

Andy

Cheers guys.

The cranks are better still considering I only paid £130 for them brand new off CRC!

lawman

bargain 8)

how are the formulas??? thnkin of gettin them for the new build

Andy

If you can afford them, get them.

I'm a pretty big guy and I can get away with 160/140 because they are so powerful.

lawman

yer i will be able to afford them

just cant really decide between the r1's or elixer mags :?

Andy

I've got Elixirs on my 456 (albeit elixir 5's) and they honestly dont even compare.

Stupidly light as well

Fair play! Why are you even debating what to get then?

Da Mighty Chicken

She looks like a quick'un.

Gotta say I too like the look of the older XTR as well, looks kinda industrial & means business

cos i can get the elixers just as cheap the joys of being in the industry so to speak

Andy

The Formulas are better though

Easy choice to make

That's nice, like the custom Olympic decals.

As an aside.. I've got Avid XXs, and they're better than the Elixirs I had last season and any Formulas I've played with.

Sweet bike Andy, love the colour scheme, white grips and saddle look good with the forks.

Better watch for that lion in the first picture though, its raring to get a bite into those maxxis tyres as soon as you look away! :roll:

El Capitano

Nice. Very nice.

Did those rims come with those decals? Would look sweeeeet on my rims and just happen to match my scoots colours.

Andy

Nope theres a guy on ebay from like Uruguay or Paraguay that does them. You can pick loads of colours for them
