Nukeproof Mega AM 2012

My Tomac really wasn't getting on with the weather here in South Wales and after chewing through it's third set of bearings I decided it was time for a change. Clocked a small 2012 Mega on sale at CRC and pulled the trigger with the intention of stripping it and using the bits from the Tomac on it.
Here she is newly unboxed in the office :

After a few days of fettling I got it to this stage :


And a mere day after this I set off with it to do the Mondraker gravity Enduro :

It's definitely a lardier beast than the Tomac, but I'm loving the Lyrik fork and the smaller size means it's a lot more playful. It does however make me really, really wish I'd invested in lighter wheels.

I'm yet to put it through its paces on a decent DH, but it seems to handle everything I chuck at it!

Let me know how much you would want for your rear wheel if you get some new ones
