[Closed] show me your hecklers

Sorry, large frame with Pikes but heh, its a Heckler! Hoping to get a shorter stem and 160mm forks this season to make it even more fun.

My Heckler doesn't really fit your description, but here it is anyway:

This photo was taken when it was freshly built... it doesn't look so shiny any more 😉

fits it close enough, tbh, what size frame is that on the yellow one?

And what are the reports, ride-wise? How does it compare to previous/subsequent rides? Worth a punt?

here's mine and she is great;

Mine's a medium. Compared to my previous / other FS bikes (Cove Hustler and SC Bullit) it is generally good all round. Climbs well, descends well... the bike can certainly handle more than I can. I ride a lot of big-hill terrain (Grampians and Cairngorms), the Heckler suits me perfectly.

I still prefer my Bullit for DH'ing though (see my webshite for piccies of the Bullit). It's a bit more planted and solid, but a lot of that is down to the build rather than the frame.

gooner how does it ride with the lyrik at 160mm?

Im thinking of one with a Wotan and an RP23

it rides superb and climbs
i only use it at the trail centres, alps etc the frame is a 2005 but everything else is only 12 months old
i have been thinking of getting the new frame but can't really justify it as it goes so well as it is

Nice. How does it climb? And finally and this is open to everybody how heavy are they?

does climb well but as i said i only ride her at trail centres and the alps (uplifts!) so not a gtreat deal of climbing

weight - not sure but 30lbs tops at a guess

l_ache if you are ever up yorkshire way you are welcome to try it

This piccy is so old its pretty much back to this spec lol!

Really must take a pic somewhere nicer than my garage!

Mine is about 35lb as you see it above, which I personally would like to make a bit lighter for generally trail duties. That's with a DHX5 coil, Pike 426 coil u-turn, WTB Dual-Duty FR rims and fairly robust finishing kit.

I'm also interested to know how it climbs with a 160mm fork, wondering if I need to bother with travel-adjust (U-Turn/TALAS) for those steep granny climbs?

Thanks Gooner although not often up that way.

Want one... really want one.

i got a 2nd hand one as a stop gap and it's blown me away its ace
