your wheel/tyre combo is certainly eye catching.

your bricks to the left of that first pic look like there's some subsidence going on as well...

ooh, and the saddle???

nice bike, though 🙂

Freak 😉

If you 'need' to run your saddle at the angle, and fully forward on an inline post, I'd guess your shock is set up too soft. Yes the rear shock should sag when you sit on it, but your fork should by about the same amount (given they're so similar in travel)
It looks slightly odd as it is IMO

the cracked wall is not mine, nor near my house & I'd just fitted the seat before the pics so hadn't quite got it right

^what James said.

Just looking at that seat makes my hips hurt.. Can you get away with a shorter stem, like 60 or 70mm? and maybe drop the height of it while you are there.

Maybe he/she likes it like that.... We are all different dont forget.

Back to the bike! Although perhaps you have gone a little 1987 Ringle Red overboard the rest looks neat as!

And the labels aren't anywhere near the valves.. 🙄

There is something devilishly attractive about Yeti's, I'll say that.

(Turner owner here)

I like the hardtails but the f.s bikes have abit too much bearing and pivot wise going on for me, single pivots the way forward

so which full susser do you ride with less 'pivots' than that? 😉

right, finally got round to trimming another 15mm of the steerer but............................................................................Where are your YETI pic's boys & girls ?

Go on then.

Might not be as pretty, but 19 and-a-bit pounds.

course you would probably get more bike interest on the bike forum, but im just being a pedant.

That photo was taken about a year ago,it's "evolved a bit since then,new forks,wheels etc. A great bike.....and I couldn't give a flying one what the singletrack perfectionists think.

Fat bloke i think i've seen you riding that through Coten end and Emscote rd

Mine is Here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elguid/3724991104/sizes/m/

sorry dont know how to post piccies

Well not so much "pivots" one that does nt have lots of bearings in the swing link which IMO are poor.

here you go Guido

Cheers- suppose i should read the Forum Help page... 😀

G[i]o on then.

Just sold this

now replaced with this

[img] ?ver=12604640190001[/img]

Does everything I want

I cracked my ASR in Verbier in September 🙁

[img] [/img]

I don't think I'd have spotted that on any of my bikes, tbh.

forks are fine.........Where's your pic Mr Yeti Guy

One should not assume that because i have named myself yeti guy, that i have a yeti 😳

I am an aspiring yeti owner.

In fact i am picking it up today,(575) but its a Chrsitmas present so will be locked away until Santa gives it to me on Christmas day.

Pics will be provided before the turkey, i promise

Oh go on then....

I like the hardtails but the f.s bikes have abit too much bearing and pivot wise going on for me, single pivots the way forward

Had an ASR and now a 575.
Top bikes, although not that keen on the new 575. Yes I have ridden one.

Better pic coming soon!

It's because the linkage driven single pivot simply works better. Check all the "copies" that are around these days. Even Cannondale (Rize).

My old ASX.

Well done all.................................lets keep adding the pic's of your YETI's

There not what you'd call good looking bikes though.

"There" what I'd call the best looking bikes on the planet.
That's why you were sneakin a peak at em.

Never really liked them personally. Look pretty ugly to me.

Fascinating. No, really. Fascinating. 🙄

Jeez, untwist yer panties, just cos I don't like a bike you dribble over. It just a bike. An ugly one at that.

Each to their own. I've got an 07 575,which doesn't look as good as the later bikes, but I prefer how it rides to the newer ones.
Don't get wound up by folk not liking your bike.....but it is a bit odd posting twice on a thread for ugly bikes. Trolling?

I'm just replying is all. Open forum etc etc...

Make that three replies now. Is it now very odd?

I will back to the Tribe with my 06 Yeti DJ. I only have a frame now but in the course of few months I should get the rest 🙂

Well that^ proves that yetis can be awesome.

Not a member at the moment but hopefully will be soon if I get over this injury. Here's my entry into the club anyway when I had this 04 ARC
[IMG] [/IMG]

Later bought the 08 575 and here it is how it finished before selling it

Flapjack, shame you had to sell your furniture to buy it! That Hemlock you were with today was nice though!

That's better! Now in it's glorious full size (yes it has got a puncture on the rear)
Mickasaki - If you want to ride a bike that looks like it's been cobbold together from the Sh1te you keep in the skip at work (Your Hemlock) that's up to you - in fact let the people decide.

Hey Flap jack - sweet ride - what size is it, large?

Heres mine

[img] [/img]

not the best pic but you'll get the drift...

[IMG] [/IMG]

arc for winter use and fast easy xc, dj for 'utter overkill' chasing my lad round the bmx track/jump park.

i'd really love to get my hands on an ano asr and an arc-x.

for bounce though its INTENSE all the way! : )

Flapjack, I prefer the hemlock (no I don't have one).
No flexy carbon chainstays for me ta. Would like to try a full alu one though.

I miss mine, cracked chainstay.. It was fast.

My old 575, which i miss dearly...

must be honest, the very existence of "yeti tribe" would probably stop me ever buying one

🙄 must be honest, not sure we would have you!

(removes tongue from cheek) 🙂

Flapjack - is that a triple speed? No rear mech cable! You listen to Backhander - obviously knows his stuff!
