Chuck CR-HT

[Kevhl]

I wouldn't want to ride without a dropper now, they're ace!
I had to wind the forks all the way down for the big climbs but that's easy to do as you're about to hit them... it flies well too!

 

[CTK]

Great looking bike. Really fancy one because of yours!

 

[Kevhl]

Think she needs a clean!

You have a very understanding wife to let you bring that in the house in that state! Are you still enjoying it?

I went to Llandegla today and it was surprisingly dry. Weather was great too.

 

[Kevhl]

No chance of it getting in the house, that's in the garage/man cave.
Upgraded since you picked up those wheels!

 

[Mindmap3]

Fair enough...that looks like a pretty pimped out man cave.

How's the bike riding?

 

[Kevhl]

Better than me at the moment, I'm feeling anything but fit!
Put the Thomson stem and 25.4 bars on my Kona so chucked a 55mm easton stem on with my havens, have a brand new
Ritchey carbon 70mm stem to go on but a. It rides great as is and b. the ritchey stem is lovely but a little top 'xc race' for my tastes!
Contemplating going 1x10 with it in the new year.

 

[Mindmap3]

I've been really impressed with the 1x10 thing, even more so with a clutch mech and a narrow/wide ring. I've not lost a chain yet on the Banshee, even on an uplift day. I'm really liking not having a chain guide cluttering things up.

This frame is currently on the way down under to a gent in aus... We'll have to see what comes next, there's currently a foes dhs mono and yeti asr5 in my garage in accounted for... But I think the trusty Kona is going to be rebuilt as the do it all hardtail and maybe something full sus is on the cards again!

Whoa..wait...did I miss something??
