  • Here is my before and after, for the most part its the same but some parts got donated to my full sus.

    SLX brakes were replaced with Deores, wheels went from ZTR flows to DT 5.1D plus a few other bits. Whilst i was at it i decided to drop the triple and go single with a guide.

  • Really nice bike
  • Not a hundred percent on the yellow grips though.. :D

    They are crappy and too hard but they came free with my saddle (Wiggle bargain!). And they are more of a baby diarrhoea colour i'll have you know!
  • Hmmm, I'm going to rebuild my mmmBop tomorrow, all this talk of "hardcore" hardtails has got me wanting to ride it again, forgot how much fun I've had on it.

    Changed slightly since this photo but not much, just new wheels, tyres and seatpost.

  • As the title says really, post your agressive hardtails!

    120mm min travel, single or double drivetrains and strictly front suspension only!

    I did say I was not sure if this would fit in there as aggressive but it has 140mm of travel and even though I am still just getting back into this after time off. So after only 2 off road rides on this since I got it I am still getting to know what I want to do with it...
  • Oh right, I don't know why you wouldn't be sure - it's pretty clear :)

    Small Cotic BFe in gritstone black (reflective Cotic decals not showing). Its got a dropper post and different chainset, pedals and tyres now. I might try a shorter stem soon (70mm just now but looks longer in this photo). I'll update the photo if I get time.

  • I like a nice clean set of bars. Shifters add clutter. Unfortunately I'm not fit enough to do without!
  • My old 456, yes it had a triple, new single speed coming soon

    I noticed this thread dropping down the forum a bit so I thought I'd post a couple of 'arty' shots.

    can I ask how you all keep your bikes so clean?

    do you ever ride them or just spend ages cleaning them? I can never get my bikes that clean :lol:
  • My photo was from when I first built it... It's in a bad old state now, too ashamed to take up to date photos and put them on any thread.

    Yeah, mine was from not long into its first ride, there's a little more battle damage and dirt now. I've never been able to keep a bike as pristine as some of my peers seem to manage. Saying that, it's not too bad at all, one thing I've really liked about it is how much easier to clean than my SB-66 it is, no complicated linkage to get in the way and 1x10 simplicity.

    My bikes are never particularly clean unless they've just been built.
