New pics of new parts on my Blindside

[jmallory]

So I have upgraded a few things on my Blindside and I thought I'd share some pics. Upgrades include: Shimano XT brakeset, Azonic Outlaw wheelset, Saint pedals, Geax rubber, and Boxxer fork. It's pretty much where I want it and have been really happy with it!!

It's...colorful.

I love it! Well apart from that front derailleur, are you really using all those gears?

[jmallory]

The color isn't for everyone but I got an awesome deal on it because of it and I figured I might as well keep going with the blue accents. I do use the FD, I have to pedal everything I ride so it was pretty essential. It's not the most pedal friendly bike but it makes it up everything and makes me stronger on my trail bike.

I think it looks sick man! I love colorful rigs, as long as you having the skill to back it up

i think it is sick, i would take the decals off the rims though

I did, they came like this

I've got an 11-36 cassette with a 36t front ring on my TR250 and I pedal everything on it as its my only bike, what cassette do you have? Ninespeed right? So 11-34? Why did you choose a DC fork if you have to pedal on it? And leave the rims like they are now, de-stickered rims look cheap :P What bar are you running BTW?

/One last question, never heard of those Geaxes before, how are you liking them?

Yes, it is an 11-34 cassette and I put a DC fork on it cause I do ride DH on it but I have to pedal to the top of most trails. I don't do much shuttling. I've gotten pretty used to pedaling it and I don't mind slugging along. It's actually made me quicker and stronger on my trail bike. I'm running an Easton Havoc DH bar and I do like the Geax tires. On par with Maxxis for width, a little rounder but really good grip. Mounted up tubeless really well too. A little heavy but I will probably buy them again when these wear out.

Ah okay, thanks for your reply Well then I understand if you've got a trail bike as well. Thought it was your only bike. Anyhow, really sick bike! Shame they quit making the Blindside :/
