Well the mongrel headset was obviousley never going to work ,

So I ordered a new Fsa Pig Downhill and its arrived and fitted by one of my technicians at work

And how handy is it to have a fully equipped automotive workshop with 15+ techs in it with every tool you could think of (not bike tools though)

A Bearing press makes fitting headset cups a doddle

So just having a cuppa before getting this built up and hopefully ready for a run on my day off on thursday, maybe some action shots if Mrs P is up for a wee ride in the woods too

Bada$$ :shock:



Looks a lovely day to be out from the pics

How does it ride?

How much does it weigh :shock:

 

[Enid_Puceflange]

No idea how much it weighs , (plenty though)

The forks, bars & brake weigh more than the frame though :shock:

Its useless at climbing, so I think a change of shock is on the cards, something with lockout so I can get up

Its so so forgiving on the way down though, stuff that had the Sv's back end squirming about, it simply floats over

Stairs , roots, rocks , nothing is getting in this fellas way

Need to Name it though,

I feel it deserves a name.............

Something like Cleetus
