e.thirteen Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'll get some pics tomorrow. I have SPD's on the road bike, but that only comes out in the summer to ride on the country roads in the dales and pennines. Amazingly fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I currently have 4 bikes. I'd have 6/7 if I had the money but as a student I'm somewhat limited by my loan! (and expensive new RC hobby!) Hopefully next year I'll be doing a year in industry and will have enough pennies for a heavy duty AM bike. Will get pictures up when I've finished modding then building up my rear trials rim...

e.thirteen Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Few quick pic's I got of the bikes today. I'm not gay, honest... I didn't have a seat to put on this one so it just has some crappy old velo one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc_nutta539 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Few quick pic's I got of the bikes i like the top one, is it hard to single speed a bike?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e.thirteen Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Only single speed on the front, still running a 9 speed at the rear. Not that hard to turn a bike into single speed, depends if its front or rear. You need the right tools for the job tho. Getting the rear casset off is a real pain.

Mr Terminator Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Used to do a bit a long time ago but give it up as a bad job,I prefer just twisting the grip,no peddling anymore,too old and knackered now.I did have a Raleigh Max Cromo 3 about 10 years ago and added Shimano ST-R front duraellier(sp) already had ST-R rear and a Alivio crank,also stuck some LX-I STI shifters on it instead of the twistgrip crap and it was great for what I wanted,I think you lose a certain amout of forward momentum with Full suspension bikes so I liked front only...

ben_rc Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) I'm thinking about upgrading mine.... but I need to get my PC done first, bloody recession. I'm skint! Hahah Like the look of the E13 DRS, with a Blue Bash..... might get some DMR V8's, in blue, new grips, in blue, and try match the new bits in colour, have some flow through the design.... hmm, tempting...

e.thirteen Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) I think you lose a certain amout of forward momentum with Full suspension bikes so I liked front only... Thats why people take them to top of mountains and do stuff like This ! with them. Unlike young lads who ride round on them going off kerbs and stuff alike. Most forks have lock out now, so it stops sapping all your speed, not sure if they do it on rear suspension tho. I prefer hardtail but would like a full sus now, especily for dalby. The prices are too much tho. Edited January 8, 2009 by e.thirteen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe of loath Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 suspension lockout is really useful, I have it on my new trek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlcurtis83 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 My mountain bike had it years now, Cannondale M700 caad2 upgraded some bits from lx to xt put the x-lite xc bars on mavic rims with xt hubs, odyssey triple trap peddles and thats about it, use it for the work trail (well not in this weather) mainly, thinking about getting some shocks for the front but dont know yet.

Shaun H Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Just finished modding my rear trials rim. It involved drilling 192 holes hahaha Although 32 of them were already there, just not big enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what posses freeriders, they're all ill in the head (proper) full sus bikes have lockout on the rear shock are well as the front fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_b88 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Giant XTC se. never lets me down. I have the same bike. They have a very good spec for the price. Mine has had some punishment over the years, and it has taken it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_b88 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yep mine too. no matter what you throw at it, it keeps on truckin'. I have done a 12 hour (dusk till dawn) and a 24 hour (TwentyFour12) enduro on it, and it performed just aswell as bikes worth 4 or 5 times more.
