For those of us not so lucky to have year-round riding conditions, late Winter is the time to put all the upgrades on the bikes, service suspension, and get them ready for action!
This will be my first season riding a full suspension 29er and am looking forward to getting acquainted with the SB-95.
Slowly getting there... April Moab trip. Got new front tire (High Roller LUST - same as rear I've been running). Debating upgrading the Float 32 150 to a Float 36 RC2...
I just went through my winter rebuild a few days ago after many many miles in the snow. Re-greased plus upgraded to XT Shadow+ and Fox DHX RC4. Can't wait to get out an ride on Monday!
Sweet- just finished complete rebuild on the SB-95. New seals and fluids, shock and fork, complete teardown, and new bearing kit. Ready to roll in 2013.
The SB-95 is new to me. It's dogboy's old frame. I replaced the Switch bearing as the rear triangle felt a bit sticky but I suspect it's mostly due to the non-driveside bushing.
My Asr-7 is ready;
Both shock and fork all rebuilt and fresh oil and seals
New wheels, Flows with Chris Kings
New brakes, Shimano Zee's
New handlebars, Raceface Atlas
My 575 has gone through some upgrades since 2012...
Fox Float 36 rc2
Dt swiss 240's w/star ratchet upgrade, 10mm thru rear axle
Xtr pedals
Complete change over to xtr/xt 10sp drivetrain..
I need to sell my SB-66 The best bike I ever had. I got an opportunity I couldn't pass, and will be riding Liteville 301 this year. I hope this will give as many grins on my face as my SB-66. Will still keep following the Yeti Tribe closely, though
Thanks pixi it was not my first choice either.
I was going to go wild colors but when I landed the wheels cheap and the white avid ultimate brakes it was fate.
I have to say it came out much better than expected and now I am a white fan also, who knows if I do another I will go all out!
I wanted just the polishe aluminum look but thus frame had some corrosion issues here and there so I needed to fix those areas
so maybe my next will go full powdercoat Chrome and who knows.
Awesome to see a couple of my former bikes in the hands of stoked new owners. My SB66c (which is the product of some bike consolidation) is ready to rip for the season.
Mine is ready ! Just picked it up Friday. I went out early this morning while the trails were still frozen to try it out, big change from a hardtail 29r. Was limited where I could ride but I got a feeling I'm gonna love it
