[Closed] Show me your....... Nukeproof Megas

Blimey, looks like Everyone else feels the same, i'll try and get a new pic of mine sorted for tomorrow 😉

Unless I've been blissfully unaware of the stw collective dislike of the bike 😯 😥

I've been looking at the 2014 Mega FR Pro on CRC recently...daily...a lot...

Awesome bikes, I own and prefer the 26 but have rode the 650b both are tip top 8)

2012 Mega.
Because green is the fastest colour.

Wow, that's some extreme layback and bar positioning you got there jwr 😯 😀

and St colin, I wished I had gone for the Yellow flavour instead of the black now, Doh!

No pics handy but I love my Mega AM. Way better going down than I am. A bit of a drag on long constant fire road climbs but good on slower techy climbs. Off the top of my head the spec is:

2013 Mega AM medium frame
780mm Nukeproof Sam Hill signature bars
70mm Nukeproof Warhead stem
Nukeproof Warhead headset
Nukeproof grips
Shimano XT front brake, XTR rear brake
Rockshox Lyrik R2C2 forks 170mm travel
Rockshox Monarch RT3+ shock
Shimano Zee Cranks
Raceface 30T N/W chainring
Shimano Zee rear mech & shifter
MRP chainguide
Shimano SLX 11-36 cassette
Stans Flow rims on Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs
Superstar Nano pedals
On One Smorgasbord rear tyre/ Chunky Monkey front tyre

A mk1 Mega. Currently in bits in a box in the loft pending next trip to somewhere with proper mountains.

... though I would swap the shock for something coily I think.

here's mine, its been housebound for over a month due to me having a bad gum infection (Horrific tooth extraction) me not the bike 😆

26 TR, swapped all the bits from my Charge Blender. I really like it but I don't think it's much faster than the old Blender really, the old girl could really schralp turns! Def way way better riding up though. Now running clipped in which suits it better. Someone needs to come up with a dropper that changes seat angle when dropped... Loving the bottle cage, one of the main reasons for choosing a TR, hucksacks suck!!

Could the original frames take tapered forks?

Not a great picture of my Mega TR.

Now fitted with a CCDB Inline and Saint brakes.

Here's mine.

Its a 26" (XL) TR, and is a really really really good frame for the money (I paid £680 - might be even cheaper now). Since updated with inline post and replaced the 2x9+bash with 1x10+NarrowWide which after a few teething problems works great. Just bled the 9 yr old saint brakes and they work a treat! Next up is servicing the forks and converting to float.

@chris - yes, I've got a 2012 one, so I think that is pretty much the original version (after they upgraded the rear triangle). It's got a 44mm headtube, so run an external lower cup, with internal upper to run tapered forks.

Also managed to do the bodge with a Stealth Reverb before last weekend, which was nice, as it pre-dates that type of dropper, but can run them without any drilling.

Sweeps arrived today so hopefully get it built up over next couple weeks. Looking forward to it, not been out for too Long.

Any body got a 2013 small TR? What's the standover like for a short person?

26" version which has seen a lot more use now.
With a reverb & flats these days.

Great fun and more capable than I am.

rudyard197 I have a small tr, my29" inside leg copes ok with it.

Here's mine. 2012 with Pikes at the front and i've recently swapped the monarch for a Fox RP23 Kashima. Much better!

I'm now 1x10 Narrow wide. Just realised that last image was before the conversion!

Barfly .... looks good without the stickers.

What did you use to get them off?
