My rockhopper build

MTB Jackasss

hello,

im new(ish) to the biking world,

quite recently i bought a rockhopper 2007 m4 disc off a friend of mine, here's the spec,I'll list whats left of the original bike first,hop-ups second..

M4 black alloy frame

Rock shox Tora 302 SL frorks with lock-out (100mm)

Shimano Deore M530 front & LX rear derailleurs.

Shimano Deore shifters SL M511

Shimano FCM 442-8 chain set

Specialized gel seat.

Hop-ups

Race face Deus XC alloy seat post

Race face Deus XC alloy 4-bolt stem

Race face Deus SL carbon fibre bars

Race face grips and chainstay pad

Mavic cross ride disc wheels

Maxxis Ignitor tyres (26x2.1) with HD tubes

(all Hope parts are anodised red)

Hope alloy seat post clamp

Hope alloy skewers front/back

Hope alloy stem doctor

Hope alloy bar ends (protects the ends of the carbon bars)

Hope M4 brakes (limited edition), CNC'd brake levers and master cylinders,

floating rotors,200mm front/180mm rear with alloy carriers,

CNC'd calipers with CNC mounts (IS) and braided lines.

Eastan cully platform peddles

Cateye micro wireless comp.

I think thats it.









i have noticed that the springs are way to firm for my weight, i have been able to only get a maximum of 50% travel and thats when riding on really rough stuff. i have looked around and i was not able to find anyone who stocks springs for the 2007 tora's; will the current 2010 springs work or shall i just save up and upgrade to some nice rockshox sids?

thanks

Very nice; I pick my new commuter 2008 Rockhopper up on Saturday

That's a very nice bike you have there. All the red Hope parts finish it off nicely.

VERY nice looking bike... I have a rock hopper that im up grading but i dont think it will ever look that good... What sort of weight is it now? Id like to know how low they can go

google 'TFtuned'. they should be able to supply you the springs for the fork

Looks good.

Question though...do you not lose teeth every time you touch the front brake lever?

pastey_boy

those brakes are all wrong ,they totally ruin the bike. seeing as im in a good mood i will buy the brakes off you

It certainly looks nice but if it was my money I'd have spent more on the forks and wheels rather than the bling!

This bike was built to look good by the previous owner as apposed to perform well

I'd change that 200mm front disc rotor to 180 or 160 as 200 is rediculous size for a bike like that, those toros won't endure alot of that much stopping power,

looks good

just needs to be ridden in anger now

no use pottering around streets on it...

still up for epping on monday?
