Next time I go I'll fit a set of 2.5" Minion super tacky tubeless DH tyres from the outset - the extra weight just isn't an issue if you're getting lifts up the hills. 8)

Haha sorry what? Minions make a noticeable difference to that whippet of a beast?? Looks awesome - I think that era and model Enduro is the one of the best looking full suss frames ever produced. Even prefer it to the Mojo.

Glad to hear the trip went well Mark. (says with very envious tone).

I thought I would post a pic of my BB Stinger now fitted (with the slight bend in the plate). I've only test ridden up and down my road at the moment but everything seems fine.
Thanks again for the tip.

nice. i have mine now as well and it didn't need bending :P

Been away from the bike for a little while doing other things, but I'm getting back into it now. I've been doing most of my riding on a carbon Stumpy HT, but had the Enduro out for a 30 mile loop last Sunday, and I'm still loving the way it rides.
I've splashed out on a few upgrades recently. Picked up some Easton Havoc wheels on offer at CRC - half a pound lighter than the Hope/Mavics and noticeably stiffer. Proper sealed UST rim, so no messing about with rim tape. The wider rim is better suited to 2.3" tyres as well. Currently running Spesh Purgatory Control tyres tubeless.
Just bought some Hope Evo X2 brakes from another member - I've put the new Evo levers on the Enduro with the M4 calipers, and the old levers and X2 calipers on the Stumpy.
Need to get a dropper seat post sort out at some point, and I've been looking at getting the Easton Haven bars and stem to match the wheels.

Nice ride, liking the carbon weave on the frame.. Interested in the weight now.

I reckon this is my favourite crudder bike, along with some Lyrics and a coil spring for an optional beast-build. Good going!

The weight's around the 27.5 lbs mark. Pretty decent for a 6 inch bike running DH wheels and fat 2.3" tyres.
I could've gone lighter on the wheels and tyres, and a few other bits, but I've gone for kit which is solid and reliable, rather than super light.
