elendil, how does the Mich Front grip and roll on the rear?
I use one on the front and it stears great (execpt on bitumen where it understeers terribly).

Brian

I've never tried it on my rear wheel. But I like it on the front (as you do)!

Then how do you get matching green tyres?

Brian

It's a XL S and a Front S. If you look at the chainstay-protector: that once was a Michelin Sprint S, it has a different green.

giant XTC frameset. 2001 Mars fork (the non adjustable one). xt shifters / brake levers, crankset, bb (hollowtech crap). XTR brakes, rear mech. Deore front mech.

hugi hubs, sun 0 degree xc rims. DB DT spokes. alloy nips. kenda kosmic tires (1.9) thomson post. flite saddle (not shown).

s works stem. easton EC 90 bar.

not sure on weight




Surly Single Speed. Surly rear hub. King front.bontranger ceramic rims. DT DB spokes (black) avid MAG brakes. XT brake levers. Race Face Turbine LP Cranks (Un 72 bb), race face SYStem, Race face riser bar (1 inch) control tech stubby bar ends.

front fork was replaced with a MARS carbon fork

specialized 2.3" roller pro tires.

32 x 20 on it now (live in the mountains)

pedals switch between the 2. either the easton culley signature pedals or the time atac carbons

also the single speed is getting new wheels. Some Paul Comp disc SS hubs and a white industries free hub. laced up to some 817 mavics with a brake track on them. making the move to disk when i get a new frame (either Spot or sycip or maybe a dekerf. not sure yet)

2004 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp disc. M4 frame, Fox f80rl fork, ec90 bar, thomson post, slr, 959 pedals... Take a look for your self!

Dude,

I can imagine your M4 with a Noleen fork and white SLR saddle ( All white ). You could call it "The ghost"......

Mine.... Kaze no Koe.....unfortunately, no black noleens.

Hahahaha... That would be sweet, no one would even see me in a race! The only thing I hate about having a white bike is that it seems to atract dirt, and scratches, etc...

nice XTC. they are a great lightweight frame for the cost.

There's some nice rides here... I finally desided to rergister (that makes 6 mtb forums so far), I thought this would be the perfect place for my first post

Now I present my... getting there project!

The frame is a Cove Handjob XC, and has a selection of Easton goodies, Duke Race fork... I am planing to run RF's Turbine LP Cranks with Sugino rings... SRAM as far as the eye can see and abit of CK for good measure.

The projected weight is looking about 9.65 to 9.70kg's not bad for a Steel hardtail, thats ment to be a trail bike

Ohhhh! I'm lovin that white Stumpy too

Still working on it to get it under 22lbs.
