Bought a rockhopper comp on cyclescheme 18 months ago.
Have recently gone 1 x 10 with xt casette (11-36), zee mech and on-one ringmaster 30t chainring (because I am fat and weak) on deore cranks.
Replaced the fork with 100mm reba (thanks aracer!)
Replaced the wheels with the new hope tech XC on pro 2 hubs (which are awesome!)
It is like riding a whole new bike!
Not finished though, still have to replace the brakes (probably with deore M615), bars and seatpost (reverb).
Oh, and will also be upgrading the frame eventually (Solaris or sherpa) so I can go the full Trigger…

some of these

Latest upgrade. A full bike 🙂

Sorry, it’s ticsmon I must thank for the rebas, no idea why I thought I’d bought them off aracer, must be going mad…

One of these (in black) for a frame which strangely has lower rack mounts but not the upper ones.

My latest upgrade from a T-120 to a 146 with new forks, crank, stem, mechs etc. only my original wheels, brakes seat, post and controls left. Thanks Whyte for the free upgrade due to a warrenty problem.

New tyres on my CX bike

Fin25, that view looks familiar. Is it Beacon hill?
Oh yeah, just ungraded brakes from hayes 9 tp to xt m775s. Big difference in braking and no worries about messing up the paintwork.

It is indeed…

Just bolting this on. Not going to have the luxury of unlimited training time after this season so going to have to sharpen up the few hours I will have.
