What kind of bike do you have? - Page 6

Rico,

I am in the process of building a new wheelset for my Giant NRS C2 and I have the Mavic XC717 rims and both Hope Pro II disc hubs. I still need my spokes & nipples. How do you like that combo? How light are they?

Mark

Here is my ride now...

Compared to the stocker rims and hubs they are awesome. Lightweight, rolls smooth, look killer and didn't break the bank as bad as a King wheelset. I like the sound of the freewheel hub too...

Maxxis High Roller tubeless tires.The rest is factory specs.

Road: Karbona Muscle Lite Carbon frame with Dura Ace, Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels, Amoeba Scud Carbon bar & stem, SLR saddle, easton carbon seat pillar.

MTB: Raleigh RM9 with XT, Mavic tubeless wheels, ritchey pro finishing kit.

Track: Hansom (south african made steel frame) with a hodge podge group set including some Campy Super Record, Dura Ace, Miche steel bars and Mavic aero rims... Probably weighs almst as much as my road bike!!!

2006 Specialized Stumpjumper comp. Damn fine trail bike.

my new ride is a dakar xlt 1.0, nixon, raceface, x.9; i built it up because a)i needed a new frame, one that didn't flex under me so much; b) the old frame is still viable for someone in the family, so after i rebuild/repaint it, well...maybe my sister can roll it.

My trusty old mountain bike:


Note the family of Swans!

Here's a slightly better shot.


"The flight deck..."


"The engine..."

Be it for the over-cast weather or my camera in need of adjustment; the yellow has come out looking a little like sickly custard! In real life, its a vibrant but non-overpowering yellow.

Please excuse the odd angles in the last two.

N.B. if any one lives near me and wants to hook up for some cycling (I also have a road bike), PM me.

Gary Fisher Advance and I also have a winter beater. Stupidcycle OST

Here is mine after a quick wipe down
Scott reflex 50
Pedals (shimano SPD M424)
Carbon Ritchey WCS Rizer Bar
Ritchey Comp Stem

Bike? Try bikes...I have 12 functioning bikes and 6 in various states of being built up or being torn down.

This is my pride and joy...

Oooops! I apologize...this is an XC thread.

doesnt matter, good to see the different bikes

I've got a Scott genius,the MC 50 is the baby in the range and it still came out with Avid single didget v's all the newer mod's have disk, but it gives me more than my money's worth.
Its light under 12 kilo's,and has decent spec components.
THE FEATURE I MOST Apreciate is the adjustable rear shock 3 modes and operates from a finger trigger lever,on the handlebar.It suits my riding perfectlly, climbing steep offroad trails in travle mode and and comming backdown as fast as i can in full sus mode.
