Fork stanchions looking a bit worse for wear tbh unless there working fine ? If they are keep it as it is Until something breaks then replace and update. Very nice bike though.

What are the brakes like powerful enough? Noticed you're missing a rear disc

creativejosh

The brakes are nice and yeah no rear disk I was still building it when I took the pictures this morning I think the only thing about I don't like are the forks they work fine but don't feel that strong maybe get some 888 next week. I'll take another picture now

Nice bike fella, let me know fork dimensions if your looking to sell pls

Cheers

mike hunts alpine

Yea I'd get them off sharpish don't look up to much tbh. What budget you looking at for parts?

creativejosh

No budget really just wanted to get it built then replace the parts I'm not happy with, and I'll have a measure up and let yout know the dimension.

I also have some dart 2 180 mm lock out forks

welshkev

how can anyone say to replace those forks when no one has ridden his bike? if they work, keep them til they break/you can afford an upgrade.

what size rotor is on the front? it looks like a 160? is that powerful enough to stop you? I run a 203 up front and 185 on the rear, but I am a fat git

oh, and watch you don't put that seatpost too far down

camerauk

Not sure but I think your front brake hose is a tad short!!
and on the wrong side(well for me anyway)

creativejosh

I always ride back brake on the right more power with my right fingers and yes they stop me fine nth they are really sharp. Front and back 180 rotors and the seat post I was thinking about cutting it down looks a bit long almost like it could hit my shock? And the brake hoses are short but they don't get in the way of anything.

Isn't that admitting they are the wrong way round? the front brake will take more power than the rear!

if you read my first post thats what I said unless there fine because they looked a bit worn on Stanchions pal.

I do say young sir you are forgiven for you're rather macabre discrepancy.
