Hmm, I might get some white wheels next, I think that might be the next big upgrade! I don't really think there is much else white I would like to put on, been down the line of white grips before and won't be doing that again!

I like my bars though, I'm not enough of a tart to change them just for colour reasons As for the stem, I sort of have a short steerer on my forks, so it is kind of hard to find a stem with a low enough stack heigh to fit, my white one I had didn't fit

I did see a ragley stem which has a stack height of 31mm! Comes in orange too

sounds good! i guess not all of us (me included) can afford to change any part on the bike just cos it doesnt match the forks or whatever! could always find an anodiser for the bars if you do have the money though!

Ooh yes, orange bike, orange stem, orange bars, orange grips! All sounds very orange to me

Thanks! I'm pretty proud of it myself

Very nice. If anything I'd actually switch to a black saddle and keep everything else as-is, although it does provide a nice counterpoint to the forks. Don't get white wheels!

I did really want black forks when I bought those ones, but I couldn't turn these down when they came up at the price they did! Therefore I thought a few other white bits would go nicely with them, but then again I think the black and orange wiggle charge spoon might look even better, especially if I had black forks.



I might swap out the forks in the future, for one I don't ever use the U-turn so its just adding weight, and I would like something with a bit longer steerer just so I can play around with the front end height a bit more!

The only problem is all this costs money, which seen as I'm a student, I don't have very much of it

Keep the white saddle!

I will be for now! It seems to be getting stained a bit blue, my shorts must be rubbing on it or something. Thing is my shorts are grey and black.

Very nice. Could use a chain device though.
Summer Seasons are awesome fun for not a lot of cash. I bought mine to use temporarily until I could get a Cotic BFe but really impressed with it.

I have been thinking about getting a chain device, but I never really drop the chain with the set up as it is so for now I don't really see the point!

And yes they are great, this is the second frame I've had now (first one was too small) and for the price they cost you can't really go wrong.

Bought and fitted a Mucky Nutz Bender Fender and took the bike out for its first ride since all the new bits were fitted this morning. What a great ride it was. The weather was terrible (the pictures below don't really show it very well) but I was all nice and warm and dry for the whole ride, even though it was tipping it down the whole time. Bike rode very nicely, it was very very muddy but very fun! Very pleased with how the bike is running at the moment

*EDIT* Forgot to mention, all the pictures below were taken in Canford Heath just outside of Poole.

Looks awesome! I'd stick with the black rims tbh.

I agree now, I'm thinking of getting rid of most of the white bits, so it would definitely be black rims when it comes round to a set of new wheels.

Haven't updated this in a while now, few changes to the bike and a new camera so I thought it would be nice to post up a few more pictures.

Main upgrades are some new wheels, ZTR Flows on Superstar Swithch Evo Hubs. 10mm rear and 9mm front also from Superstar.

I'm thinking a new set of forks next, most likely some 2013 Revs. Mainly because the steerer on my current ones is a bit short so more variability would be nice, but I also want to get rid of all of the white stuff from the bike.

How u getting on with the wheelset? I've got the same and I think the rear needs a re tension. Only had a few rides. Bargain though!

Wheels seem fine so far, haven't pushed them too hard yet, but I did smash the rear incredibly hard into a pot hole on the way home from my local trails. Resulted in an almighty bang and changing a tube during a thunder storm but the wheel took it well. Still straight and true as far as I can see.

Definitely a bargain though, had been thinking of getting that combo anyway then Superstar had the deal on so I couldn't resist.
