my yeti asr 5 al *caution bright parts*

supermike

Here's my yeti just after I bought her last year



Then I bought a few bits... Woops ...







Bling bits include custom spank subrosa evo rims built on blue hope pro 2's, x0 rear mech & shifter, KS lev, chris king BB and headset, answer carbon bars, ti axle race face turbine cranks, nukeproof mag/ti pedals, lots of ti bolts and a carbon/ti front qr15 axle:

Then I built a bike for my gf using the original parts and a half price frame and fork:

Sh!te, my eyes...... Nice bike, shame about the colour scheme!

May want a chain guide for that 1x setup, a new chain stays on for a while, but it won't be long before it makes a bid for freedom!

supermike

I love the colourS but I don't suppose everyone will... It was mega sunny when I took the pic so looks even brighter...

yeah got a guide in the post for the gf's bike... She'll have to ride it more to have any danger of the chain coming off!

The Rookie

Maybe....I need my Oakleys!

LOL, maybe, when I tried my commuter without a guide it used to fall off during shifts!

supermike

Oh it doesn't come off but it is definitely getting a chain guide...



There's an older pic away from bright sunlight

Nope, even away from bright sunlight it's still gopping. But as long as you love it that's the main thing!

Get rid of the bottle cage, Will look loads better!

I like it

Updates...

Swapped the rotors for 180mm Shimano ice tech. They seem to work pretty good and give a more constant feel.

Today I swapped to UST tyres... 2.4 conti x-king on the rear and 2.2 rubber queen on the front. Both are about the same width.

They sealed up pretty well on the rims after I used electrical tape rather than proper tubeless rim tape... Anyone else use this?? Seems to work really well sealed up with no sealant but might run some just in case.

Update pic:

New pink brake hoses, lime green gear cable and seatpost cable + changed to crank bro's kronolog seatpost remote.

Cheers, they aren't the lightest (520g) but they look cool and perform really well, giving the bike a stable feel over roots and rocks. Sealed up well too


Need to get up the peaks and cannock again now the weather has cleared up!

Love the build and the colour scheme (except the pink cables).

It's like you ate a pack of fondant fancies and vomited on your bike.

It's a no from me I'm afraid.

AlexJCook

You're a brave boy, props for that!

I'm more a subtle kind of guy...

But those Caliper adapters, are they actually a Yeti-ish blue? Hard to see on pics.

Not really... Most of the anodised blue stuff is a similar colour though. The caliper adapters were kcnc ones more for the weight benefits. Most bolts are green titanium. I went a little crazy on colour for me bikes are works of art. I'd love to build bikes if I thought it would make a good business... From minimalist simple coloured single speeds to crazy stuff like mine. Sadly from what I've read it sounds like a hard business to make successful

Loving the build and the colour scheme of your bike especially the pink cables.

Great bike, but dam that is a ugly colour scheme. So ugly, I think I like it!

supermike

Well thanks for the comments. Not to everyone's taste but I knew that when I made her lool a little crazy
