My 2010 P7 was full XTR , carbon Easton Bars n Stem etc… like you it was just what I had to build a bike, twas a nice ride though :D probably my fav bike yet, had to sell it when I lost my job :(

Just got back from riding Degla trails were all clear :D

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2644138

weather for LLandegla :D

my local bike shop has something in your budget

Bike :-)

I had 36’s on my 09 Remedy was great

200×57 for 140mm , my wife has a 2006 Heckler

All my bikes seem to end up around 30lb + or – a pound or so , must weigh my new bike , scales of truth at the LBS, I’m guessing 26lb

I have 5 hope clamps no trouble with any of them , I do lube them up before tightening :D

Never serviced mine til the other week , when I messed it up by removing the wrong part , all went back together fine just would go all the way down, I needed a special tool , I wipe the shaft with chain lube same as i do fork and shock before each ride, mine had developed play, so I replaced the bushing and seals and its fine now.kit was about £6 ….
if I can buy the tools for setting up the IPF bush I will be able to sort it next time.

as said 10 tens starting Thursday

there great had mine nearly two years had an inital fault went back fixed and back in 3 days awesome service, never gliched again til I tried to do a service my self which was ok til I pulled a part out that the video said Don’t remove this :oops: LBS sent it back for me it was sorted as a good will again awesome service, and again only took a few days even with all the snow.
I’m going to get another to replace my old KS900 dropper which again has been great, nearly 3 years old, its a lay back and I would prefer an in line again , so saving for a Reverb.
Mine is ridden 3-4 times a week in all weathers, and I use it like I would my gears or brakes , :D

I’ve said ” again” to many times sorry

looks ok , a few upgrades , should be nice, still prefer the pop of a 26 bike.

Awesome is it built yet shows us your pics :D

never ridden a Bmx , can you start at 50 8O

I use mine like I would the brakes or gears it just becomes a natural way of riding , its only when you go back to a standard post you realise how much you do use it, been riding one for 3 years now so its normal for me. :D

I feel more comfortable with low and slack on steep stuff , but my 29er Salsa Spearfish also felt great on steep techy stuff , very low BB on that bike, but not slack , me no understand , I think alot has to do with the whole bike not just some of the angles.. Brant will be able to explain , far better..

5 year warranty with SC and life time on the bearings :D

I’m running 175mm cranks and V12 pedals so quite thick by the latest thin stuff available, my 29er was more prone to strikes…
So far I’ve been really impressed by the bike flies on the DH techy stuff but light enough to climb easily , when you pump it , the bike shoooots forwards and leaves the ground with ease , and has so much traction on climbs its amazing, the fitter you are the more you will get out of the TRc :D cant wait til summer..

out on the trails today :D

Had mine for about 8 weeks not had any problems with low BB , not one pedal strike….which is unusual for me :D

My NP has fitted a Hope 12 x 135 and a Jumping Flea also no problem.

I used some coarse emery cloth in the vice gave it just enough grip not to spin, didn’t have to go mad on the pressure.

heres something very similar

Adapter thingy

Nuke Proof do an axle that converts 12 x 135 into 10QR X 135, I have one some where :D just for those moments when you need a wheel, put it safe :oops:

The Nomad has a 1.5” headtube. We recommend a proper 1.5” steerer fork or one of the newer tapered forks for a stiffer front end. There are also plenty of reducing headsets on the market which allow use of the larger bearings of the 1.5” system along with your 1 1/8 fork. If you want to continue using your current 1 1/8″ headset, give us a call and we can sell you some headtube reducers.

From the SC website , if this helps

Kyle straights for me , but thinking back not worn them for over a year, must be due a big off soon to remind me :D

They are local to me and I’ve used them plenty of times , cheap for most things, service has been great, placed orders with them, and they have called me when items came in, great service, and friendly helpful, staff.
They all seem to ride , and have fun on bikes :D

I’ve been using the BB mount E-13 XCX on my Blur Trc has been fine so far with the XTR + rear mech.. :-)

I too fancied a black one , all my bikes are black at the moment, after many years of bright and neon, must be a phase :D

Ride with a mate on a Saturday, on my own the rest , the odd night ride with a few of us 3-4 I’m the slowest and really don’t like holding people up, they are all awesome riders and fast , were I am steady and not so awesome. :oops:

would be fun with rim brakes :D

Santa Cruz Nomad :D

Offas Dyke on my way over to Llandegla Forest, stopped of at Oneplanet for a brew to warm up :D

Yay me too can’t go wrong for £12 :D

Im using XTR 980 , with a King BB :-)

Fitted one last night , used a couple of the provided shims, so two shims then the guide screwed up tight with the BB , so far all seems ok ,
Santa Cruz Blur Trc, 73mm BB :D

twohats spill the beans :D I have my bombers ready if you don’t 8O

Nice one Yetiman good feedback cheers

Is it possible to use travel spacers on the new Fox CTD forks ??

yes pretty cheap but all 1 1/8″ steerer wanted a taper :D
