Anyone else got a Kinesis Maxlight XC Pro?

Just built up a SS using XC Pro 2 frame bought off classifieds here.

Apart from the graphics, really impressed with the ride.

Wonder if I could get it up any more hills with a 1 x 9….mmmmmm

By the way, if you need a replacement gear hanger, then BETD no 38 is the one to go for….silly accident…BETD one is so much nicer than the original

Yeah, I’ve got one of them Kinesis frames, Think its the XC Pro 2, too.

I’ve got it built up 3×9 with reba race forks, XT stuff.

I like it.

🙂

I have a XC Pro 3 frame on my XC bike.

This wasn’t the final build though, just completed with parts i had. I’ve put a 90mm stem on and swapped out the rotors for 160’s.

Quite like it to be honest, it’s great for the XC stuff i do and handles well. It’s a little long on some of the tighter courses but a good balance.

Carpet needs hoovering.

@avdave2 It’s not my carpet :p

Here[/url] is my maxlight SS, not quite a professional pic as superted666’s

You can’t go around saying you enjoy riding a hardtail with 71/73 angles! What will the slack fashion police say?

I have a beaten up XC2 with 100mm Fox forks. I throw it at everything i have the cajones for and it manages everything well. I would happily buy any other Kinesis frame after owning this and a couple of Crosslights.

The XC2 looks a lot like the Kona Kula it replaced, and was significantly cheaper.

…which I snapped the mech hanger off today. 👿

Had to bodge a singlespeed gear (44×12) to travel the 7 miles home.

Time for a number 38 from BETD I think.

Makes me laugh. Hoover owns everyone, as most people I hear always refer to vacuuming as hoovering.

Make it two, keep one spare. This means you can repair and ride again, while the next one is on order.

I have a spare hanger in the saddle bag.

Usually do Solo, but for some reason never managed it with this bike.

Just listed my spare hangers on the classifieds.

Got an XC Pro 2, which was my race bike, and is now my training bike. Absolutely awesome bikes. Love it.
