Mr Lord of Steel


Nader I love looking at your pictures but the more I look at the one below the more I'm convinced
you've use 6mm SLR brake cable as shifter cable as all the cables look too uniform to me

don't get me wrong it looks aesthetically pleasing.... but I need to know if you've found chunky
gear outter.... or just bent the rules

Nick, I'm afraid, I bent the rules

They are all 6mm Jagwire Ripcord Titanium and I think so they look so much more harmonious.

for comparison...

I've thought about doing this myself, but perhaps I'm to much of a conformist to actually do it,

B.T.W there is a marked difference between the two pictures, and agree the white looks the best

do your shifters work okay ? as there's a reason why brake and gear cable are constructed differently

yes they do.

Re: first trail

Had today a nice trail with Yeti and 've realized that I'm not quite so young anymore
and that this damn stem can not be tightened enough! (no matter how hard you screw it)

 

[Nader]

Re:

Since this Yeti has convinced me, I'll make a few improvements

First, a suitable stem (made especially for this bike and I think it deserves it. Thank you Frank)

And because all parts are xt 730, why not the pedals (although I was very pleased with Looks)

And finally come new Araya RM-17 rims on it

Cheers dude It would be such a shame not to ride this bike.

But when I use those wheels then I would think twice before I take it out in the dirt...
