You have a good set up, just watch out for the nevegal tires weight, they look and perform great (so I´ve heard) but they are too heavy.

I'm currently running some 2.35 ust nevegals on my crossmaxs and they're SUPER heavy. I'm planning to drop back to 2.1. Besides, people are telling me that my rim is too narrow for a 2.35 tire. Also, think a 200lb rider is too much for crossmax sls?

next few nights? i say you'll get it done by tonight... XD

Nice project. What is taking so long with the pics?

Sorry for the slow build. I have summer school and my final is due this week so i've been trying to be smart with my time...
So this morning i got everything on the bike. I noticed that my 2.35 nevegals are a little bit too big for the rear triangle. Theres maybe a few mm to spare. I'm planning to order some 2.1 nevegals, or maybe try an excavator as a rear tire. I'll post pics soon...stay tuned...

Dude, you totally ruined the fact that I thought I was the only one in the Bay with a VF2. At least yours is a different color. I see you're in Alameda; I've been riding JMP & Redwood with my cousin lately; we should hook up for a ride!

Oh damnit..i thought i would be the first. Yeah, i love JMP. I'm probably gonna ride there this weekend. Gonna bring along my co worker whos just starting out. I'm trying to get in shape to ride demo at the end of the month.
pics on the way...Took the BLUE VF2 out for its maiden voyage. I'm still in the adjustments phase so i won't comment on ride characteristics just yet.

Those tires are heavy!
I would buy some lighter non ust tires, and then use Stan´s to run them tubeless.
You will save a LOT in weight.

Nice work. And nice pics, too, the blue in the sun really highlights a lot of tubing manipulation that is hard to see well in a pic.
So, when is her maiden voyage? We need a good ride report next.

I took her out this weekend. I'm still working to get my shock setup so i don't want to give her a full ride report yet.

You can check competitive cyclist web page, there´s a tutorial to set the shock´s sag and everything else.
