Had a ’06 Enduro expert, so 150mm each end, massively heavy 36’s compared to current ones, a DHX air which had propedal which wasn’t like current ones – 18 clicks fully on to fully off, it was meant to be for fine tuning not making a 34lbs bike a ‘climber’. 100mm or so stem, 500mm odd wide bars and such a low BB that it felt like walking climbing because your feet hit the ground on every rotation, you could fix it by fitting the high BB mount but it ruined the way it rode.
Loved it though, did everything, tough (frame and forks anyway) and very, very quick downhill by the standards of 10 years ago.
At first when the shitty OE bits died I beefed it up with Saint cranks and hope wheels with Mavic 729 rims, but it was awful, a slow unresponsive tank, but with lighter rims and lighter crank it was great and managed to keep it modern-ish with shorter stems, wider bars and better brakes etc but in the end it’s sheer weight and steepness made it ‘old’ and I striped and sold it 5 years after I bought it and Trigger often tells Del Boy that his broom is like P-Jay’s Enduro.
