What's the fender on that?

Found it!

Its called a Crud Guard (and I think the front version is called a crud catcher.)

It can be found at http://www.nwmtb.com/.

To be honest I think its pretty good. Does the job reasonably well and doesn't get in the way

Here's my 2007 Rockhopper still working on it , so far upgraded the brake levers, shifters, and rear derailleur. Next week Avid BB-7 will be added and new wheelset...

Not an AM but its a HT anyway...

I don't know if it is really considered All-Mountain, but I ride it damn near everywhere and have fun doing it. The Float 120 RL was by far my biggest splurge, but I got a good deal on Ebay and I made about $70 back on the old MZIII.

Medium '06 Specialized Hardrock Pro Disc

Upgrades:
Float 120
Thudbuster LT
BB7s (185/160)
SPD M520s
XR 3D (60mm x 12 deg)
Rogue lock-ons

Stock:
2x9 SRAM drivetrain
Singletrack rims

Soon to have:
Rampage 2.35 front/Rampage or Small Block Eight 2.35 rear

Eventually:
WTB seat
I'll probably replace the BB, hubs, and headset with nicer items as they wear out.

I think it weighs about 29 lbs now, even with the thudbuster-I still have the hard seat post, but it is only a couple of ounces lighter.

Saint Cranks with DRS (later replaced with LG1)

I already ordered a new frame which will host most of the components on the bike. The fork was always too long, works for downhill, but makes the front end wander... I think I'll make a fully rigid SS out of this.

I just got my 06 IH Bakuto and I like it. Took it up to Gooseberry for a test ride last weekend and it passed with flying colors. Will post pics soon>>>

Hey everybody!

I have updated my Devinci Hucker with a new lighter wheel set. Gone are the boat anchor doubletracks. I have replaced them with Sun SOS rims and Formula hubs.....things are much lighter now. Once the 2.5 Weirwolf's wear out I'll be getting lighter and narrower rubber too. As she sits now the bike weighs in at around 33 lbs.

I'm gonna resurrect the thread here. My Norco Rampage. Does everything I ask, but the down is definitely easier than the up.
