Looking to set my 2011 frame up a bit looser, mostly for trail centre short blasts and a bit of jumping. Suggestions?

The pic is a few years old now, but generally the same set up. Hard core ๐Ÿ˜‰

Very nice indeed sir!

Are those Fox 140s? I was thinking of going for a Fox fork /Thompson headset combination.

Fox Vanillas, yeah. Mine uses a Hope headset and not had any trouble with it, going on 4 or 5 years now.

Heres mine set up for just that - trail centre mincing and dirt jump radness. Ive since put my brown Tree Ergo seat on and it now has a front brake/front tyre that actually grips. With the other seatpost/seat on its a good pedaller as well, instant acceleration! Im gonna go back to a 50mm stem though, dont like the extra 10mm this has. Matching red pedals will be incoming shortly as well.

mines very much like that one ^ apart from it has black Revelations, a Flite saddle, a layback Thomson post and a front brake. Lovely bikes, it doesn't get used as much as it should though. I think I like even more nowadays with only the one gear - it's like a big BMX.

Last model before EBB. Getting old now and a bit shabby. Love it tho. Like a loyal hound that's blind in one eye and on its last legs but you can't face the idea of putting down.

Excuse my arm in the way....

I'm the same as biscuit powered. I tried to replace it with a Cotic Soul. It didn't go well and I'm back on my Chameleon but have treated it to a less garish bar and stem combo to make up for cheating on it.....

Do like a Chameleon and would love one of the new frames. Can't be long before they they go 650B though.

It has one now but doesn't work very well at the minute. tbh I haven't really needed it yet.
