Today's Fettling (With NEKKIDPIXORZ)

El Capitano · May 2007

Coiler:

Fitted New Bars and End Caps, and gave it a nice clean.

XTC:

Fitted New Rear Mech, Cassette and Chain. The new XTR stuff is just soo sexy and light!

FrankenJeyBeast:

These are pics of the LRS - which is an ongoing project. Probably needs new Forks as the steerer tube MX comps fitted is only just long enough, without any spacers! Still not 100% convinced about the way the Back end moves. I've stuck 120 PSI into the rear shock, but it still feels a little soft - any advice?

[:(] I want a nice bike. However the LRS looks like a patchwork quilt of the ugly variety (tyres methinks). T'other bikes are nice... and i'm loving teh barz.

The LRS runs at a really high pressure I think. Never had a manual with it but the Merida site has a PDF to download for more info.

What's the red thing encasing the cable just as it goes into the mech for?

I'm not showing off, I'm practising.

Very nice. Has that dropped the weight of the XTC any? And the Coiler is crying out for a lightweight Mavic + Hope wheelset. [;)]

Its an Avid Rollamajig (yes thats its real name), it provides a better/more direct cable rout to the rear mech. Sadly Avid dont make them any more - i just bout one more my XC bike from US ebay! as it was the only place i could find one.

Not really surprising, as you only need them with a Shimano mech, and Avid is owned by Sram.

XTR Stuff is super sexy. GIMME!

Had it a couple of weeks now, courtsey of Andrew156. I may build it into an XC enduro race beast later in the year, but at the moment, I'm just putting the stuff of Dan's XC bike on there to see how it rides.

It will appear on the commuter bike, which is in desperate need of a Rapid Rise rear mech. [;)]
