[Miloshark]

You had your chance with my yeti size medium

[onepunkcop]

tough to say but I would suspect 50mm

I'm 5'9" on a medium with a 50mm stem. 5'5" should be on a small most likely.

[Dogboy]

A couple of pics of mine. Coming off of a SB66a, so the ride is very similar but the weight difference is noticeable and it rides a bit smoother.

[Dogboy]

Can I use rockshox Reverb Stealth on this frame?

It does not have internal routing for a Stealth.

Where/How did you get that mudguard. And how is it working?

Nice job on the mudguard MrFish

Bike is awesome. Rear shock was not progressive enough for big hits, if i was using it as a trail bike, the rear shock would have been fine, now with the large air can spacer, takes big hits impeccably.

I demoed a medium, it was too long, got more and more back ache as i got more tired from being stretched, small suits me really well.

I couldn't imagine using it for trail/xc with 160mm fixed forks, too slack, having the u-turn forks really makes it a multi purpose bike with next to no compromise.

Isn't quite up to some of the other specs in this thread, but there is nothing on there that isn't up to the job whilst being an ok weight.

Let me know what you guys think..

Nice looking bike you have there Miloshark.

How are you getting on with the Rockshox Monarch RC3? Did you ride your bike with a Fox RP23 to be able to compare the two?

In getting one of these in a few months. It's gonna be sweet.

[fishboy2807]

In the meantime get yourself a bib because you'll be dribbling a lot.
Oh hang on... I see your avatar ;0)

[da peach]

Mmm. Yeah. Gonna be a while.

Did the whole 2x10 XTR crankset bash guard question get answered?

I'll definitely be running 2x10. I definitely won't be using a taco.

Is the 3x10 crankset my only option?

No problem. The crankset on mine above would work fine with a bashguard.

[da peach]

What model? M980? 2x10 plus bash works? I guess you just have really long bolts?

What kind of bash? Shimano?

[Demolition]

I would consider a 1x10 for the sb66 c

Here's my christmas present, built more trail than AM. I transferred most of the X0 drivetrain from my 2008 575, and the Reverb (new warranty replacement this year)

Weight = ~28.4 lbs on my bathroom scale accurate to .2 lbs.

Have ridden about six times, in love with the bike. I ride 95% a local trail in NJ (out my back door), been out in the snow the last few days. Took a few rides to get the settings correct. Bleeding the avid rear brake (shortened hose) was a pain, thought it was spongy, but after a couple rides the brakes work perfectly, not sure if they have an internal mechanism to get rid of residual air, or the cold makes it all firmer! Ride open on the shock and fork, except found that platform helps on crunchy snow.

Still need to trim some cable housings, when it's too cold to ride!

My Build is still in progress... Waiting on new wheel set and brakes. Weights 28lbs as pictured... I mainly ride aggressive trail, and coming off of an ASR5C, still trying to get it dialed. Truth be told, Not a fan of the Talas CTD. I feel the new CTD leaves a lot to be desired for tuning.

2013 Fox Talas 34 CTD Chris King Headset
Renthal Duo/ Fatbar Lite
Hope Race EVO M4's (getting swapped for Magura MT8's)

2012 Crossmax st's Tubeless (swapped for Carbon wheelset)
KS supernatural Ibeam/ Kore Seat

[gunt pimp]

I think you have the seatpost cable set up wrong?

[Scotty Slc]

I think you have the seatpost cable set up wrong?

Yes, Good eye... I need a longer cable. At full 150 up with the wide bars, the cable is to short, I ran the cable so it would work for the time being...

[Demolition]

I can't figure out how to put my pictures in here?
Little help anyone?
I have an iPad and my pics in iPhoto
