My Upgraded Hardrock

nickel

Hi there,

This is my 2010 hardrock disc, despite the pro frame I bought this as a base model 2010 hardrock disc last summer (spesh had run out of bikes so were cobbling them together from random parts, hence I got a pro frame with a standard disc spec, not complaining!), I've steadily replaced and upgraded parts as I've worn them out/ felt they limited my riding and now the only things that are stock are the seatpost, cranks and front mech!

The bike has been very good to me and has done everything from all day epics on the quantocks to commuting to uni to 60 mile road rides.

Apologies for the quality of the pics!

I also have a hardrock and the same parts are the only stock ones on mine but the saddle is still standard and I have an SLX crankset which needs to be fitted.
My spec is:
SLX 9 speed groupset except front mech
Elixir R brakes
Hope pro2/ NoTubes Flow front wheel
SLX/NoTubes Crest rear wheel
Rockshox Tora forks
Shimano DX SPD pedals
Tyres change very frequently but curently on two Armadillo Elite Captains 2.0 as i kept getting punctures.
