[Closed] Bike rebuild - Tropical Mojo...Too much colour?

ha ha - looks like a tin of Lilt!

i like it 🙂

Very nice.

Don't usually like them at all, but the bold colour makes it looks a bit beefier.

Not sure about the hubs, but the frame is a lovely colour.

No colour hubs really match it, so I thought I'd go in the opposite direction.

A colour scheme inspired by Tic Tac. 😀

My mate has a Handjob in the opposite colour scheme - orange frame/green hubs/bits. I don't like that either 😀

Hi Daffy, still a poor, broke, student then? 😉

The green mojo looks great, not sure about the hubs though, mind you I don't like chris king stuff much anyway....

I'm as skint as a Polish immigrant, but I sold one wheelset to fund the other.

See classifieds and ebay for details 🙂

Woody, cheers! 🙁

That looks great 8)

you need to get those rims powdercoated orange, then it'll be super-duper

I'm only pulling your leg!

Your bike, your rules mate 🙂

Powder coating olympics *shudders at the thought of the extra weight*

That's okay Woody, I was doing the same. T'is all pantomime...especially with this colour scheme.

Maybe you should go for a full on harlequin effect and stick on some nice brightly coloured diamond shaped stickers.

I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those driving around!

New bike is pretty colourful too....perhaps I have a problem.

Out of interest when did you get the front hub?

Is it a 32h QR?

I've been waiting for Evolution to get mine for over a month, it came in 2 weeks ago but due to their incompetence my hub was sent elsewhere and I got posted a 20mm one. I have just been told it may be another 2 months before I can get another QR 🙁

Is that my hub?

Second hand mate. As is all of the bike.

Sorry to disappoint.

Totally tropical taste! And very nice too.

Back on topic, I love it.

Just need some cheap DT Swiss 150mm forks for it now.

Looks wicked to me, good job.

I'm afraid I think you need to be bolder with the forks when you can afford to. Orange would be good. Looks very good though. 🙂

good point, white forks would look ace

I really like the way DTs feel though. Powdercoating maybe...

Is that the royal armouries in the background in that 1st pic?

weight?

26lbs with UST tyres and the daft seatpost. With tubeless Nevegals and my carbon EC70/SLR it'll drop to about 24lbs.

top bike, cheap at stif now too..... (not that i'd ever ride a carbon bike, for roadies really)

*Pfft* for roadies only indeed. carbon takes impacts just as well if not better than most alu frames.

Impact resistance is much higher, couple with some surface protection (Heli Tape) to protect the laquer and it's safe as houses.

Alu frames will dent through heli tape, this won't.

Besides, mine was cheaper 🙂

That doesn't answer my question though!

Sorry twohats - Yes it is.

Ah, then I remember that frame when it had Lyriks on it and was being ragged around the Alps!!!

Every time he posts a pic of that Mojo I get the urge to climb up to that balcony & steal it away.
Mmmmmmmmm.
Hubs...what hubs...
I just see Green Mojo...
MMMmm.

You're refering to Ian then? yes? 🙂

I'd love to go to the alps with it.

Mojos rock. Nice colour, now give it the Fox 36s that it deserves, put some proper tyres on and give it a good spanking. Lopes Link wouldn't go amiss either.

Lopes link is the next thing. Fox 36s make it really heavy at the front end and you end up with really slow barge like steering.

What's wrong with my tyres? 🙄

Fox 36s make it really heavy at the front end and you end up with really slow barge like steering.

I haven't found that the case. Talas would sharpen the steering in the middle setting, although I'm quite happy with the non travel adjust Floats, in a full travel full throttle way.

What's wrong with my tyres?

Nothing. I just looked at the back one and then out of my window in Calderdale.

Daffy, sorry ive not emailed, been working some long days at work and i cant access them from there. Ive claimed with city-link with the wheels being a day late and ill have the invoice on Monday to find out how much it will be. Will send over whatever i get back.

Right of to work AGAIN, least its our demo w/e so ill be outside instead of being stuck in the office. If anyone is planning on coming its not raining... yet! 😆

Oh and the bike looks awesome 8)

Needs a pair of orange Bombers

I'm with Ed-O on this. When I had my guinness foam mojo, it started off with Pace RC40 fighters (bolt-thru) which whilst being very light, made the bike just a bit too twitchy. For a laugh, I stuck a pair of Marz Z1 Lights (same a-c as 36's) and found it made the bike such a riot, they stayed on.
Worth noting that Floats can be reduced internally (both travel and a-c) - reckon 150mm Floats would be awesome on the mojo.

Hmmm....what about 150mm DT EXCs?
