upgrade update

m0t1v4t3 said:
Thanks, I love this thing! I'll probably beef up the front end with a oversize stem and bar when I have the funds. The bars are 24", is that too narrow? My shoulders are about 22".
Now with shorter 50 mm stem, wider bars and better brakes. I also put on some wider tires. A 2.4 Rubber Queen and a 2.25 Fat Albert, I like the combo for the terrain around Phoenix, I don't wash out much anymore. :D

New pics

Just wanted to show some pics. New grips BTW and wonder why I waited so long to replace the old ones. Much better Lizard skins. Had WTB that were really thin. Gotta love an RX. Wishing for an FTM or El-Guapo. But ain't we all. :thumbsup:

Man I've been contemplating the switch from the stock rp23hv to roco tst air ! I'm just afraid the $300 swap isn't gonna be $300 the difference. What's your experience?

My Titus El Guapo 2010

I'm insanely happy with my El Guapo. It is super plush and a built to bomb.

Specs:

Fox RP23HV
Marzocchi 66 RC3 Ti
Hammerschmidt FR 175mm
Avid Code R 203mm
Sram X-0 Shifters
Sram X-9 Short Derailluer
DT Swiss 240 hubs
Mavic 321 Rims

This bike is killer. I highly recommend it... That is only if you like having fun.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I just installed this Roco Air TST R!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Straight out of the box and down my steps, the Roco air feels amazing! Makes me wanna chuck the crap foxrp23hvwhatever! Too bad Titus didn't spec the Guap with a worthy air shock. Just squishing around on the pavement, the compression in the rear feels like a 6in bike should....----OOOOH I can't wait to hit the trails! I'll post more well-lit photo later!

New stuff!

I've been using this winter as an opportunity to shower my Motolite with gifts. The biggest upgrades were wheels (Cobalt) and drivetrain (X9). I also thought I'd give 11-34t cassettes a try.

Here is the current set-up:

Rider: 6'2", 180lbs with gear
Riding Style: Trail, XC

2007 Titus Motolite II (black, large)
Weight - 29.4 lbs
Shock: Fox RP23 XV Air Can, Pushed
Wheels: Crank Brothers Cobalt
Tires: Front - Kenda Nevegal 2.35 DTC Rear - Kenda Dred Tread 2.1 UST (not running tubless)
Crankset: Shimano FC-M442, 22-32, 32t BBG bashguard (2x9 setup)
Shifters: Sram X9
Front D: Shimano SLX FD-M665 (double)
Rear D: Sram X9, Med Cage
Cassette: Sram PG980 11-34t
Brakes: Shimano Deore BR-M486, XT RT76 180mm rotors
Fork: 2010 RockShox Recon Race Solo Air 120mm travel (w/PopLoc)
Pedals: Crank Brothers Candy C
Headset: Cane Creek S2
Handlbars: Crank Brothers Cobalt 3, 15mm rise, 700mm wide
Stem: TruVativ AKA 80mm
Seatpost: TruVativ Hussefelt 25mm offset
Seat: WTB Silverado
Grips: ODI Ruffian Lock-On
Bashguard: BBG 32t

Unless my wife pulls the financial plug, additional future upgrades will include brakes (debating between XT, SLX, and Formula RX), crank (XT or SLX), perhaps tires (Nobby Nics?), and QR15 fork (Fox F120).

Great bike.... Love the wheels. I have a set of XT brakes and love them but I would recomend the Hygia Elites over the XT's. They are cheaper, lighter and just as easy to use, not to mention stop you just as well adn use the same pads. They come in many great colors to. Check them out. I think you can only get them off ebay. I really like mine.
