Here's my TCR. Built up out of 2nd hand frame and wheels and then bits I already had (plus new cranks and disc rotors). Swapped the shock from a 200mm x 50mm to a 190mm eye to eye to lower the BB and slacken it off a wee bit. Run it with Pikes at about 120mm for just razzing around, but I also use it for uplift days at Cwm Carn and at FoD, so wind out the forks and swap the wheels for a set of Singletracks with Super Tacky High Rollers on – nice! 1 x 9 works a treat for local stuff and Welsh trail centres. It's fantastic fun and actually quite versatile.

How's it for skids?

Rad to the power of sick, dude!

Is that my old X9 on the back ricky boy?

Indeed sir. Nice short cage, eh?

its a bit fast for my liking.

aye, perfect for your 1×9
