My Ruckus- New bits (again!)

Unknown · June 2007

Hi all,

Just got/fitted some new bits to my GT Ruckus so thought Id show you all them [8D]

Basically, fitted a Marzocchi Z1 FR2, a Shimano Saint crankset, and Mavic EX721s laced to Hope Pro2 hubs with DT.Swiss Comp spokes [:D]

The Marz and Saints were second hand (Gungun 24 and someone of STW), and the wheels are from Roger at www.wheelpro.com

Various pics of the newest upgrades here.

So, a quick summary of my bikes current spec [:)]

Current spec:
* Frame: GT Ruckus
* Fork: Marzocchi Z1 FR2 130mm '05
* Crankset: Shimano Saint HT2
* Pedals: Gusset Slim-Jim- black, sealed bearings
* Front Derailleur: Shimano Deore
* Rear Derailleur: Shimano Deore
* Shifters: Shimano Deore 9- speed
* Cassette: Shimano XT 9- speed (11-32T)
* Chain: SRAM PC991 9- speed
* Wheels: Mavic EX 721s laced to Hope Pro2 with DT Comp spokes
* Front Tire: Tioga Yellow Kirin 2.3
* Rear Tire: Tioga Blue Dragon 2.1
* Brakes: Avid Juicy 7 (07) 185/160mm rotors
* Handlebar: GT Riser Bar
* Stem: GT 4-bolt
* Grips: ODI Lock-on Rogue- Blue
* Headset: FSA Orbit XLII
* Saddle: SDG I SKY
* Seat Post: SDG I beam 6061 construction with one key allen adjust
* Seat Clamp: GT Oversized alloy cold forged
* DMR Dual Chain Reactor Mk.2 chain tensioner
* Transfil Flying Snakes cables.

Im almost done with this bike, although (hopefully) a new stem, bars (O/S most likely), seat/post (current is really uncomfortable), tires, e.13 bash, and the 08 XT Rear mech is still to come [:)]
Then its hopefully a full suss frame [8D]

Anyway, some complete pics;
