LTS DH : (Pos... :? )

LTS 1 which is lovely!

 

[daj]

The dh looks clean enough!! Are you building it for full on downhill style ?

The LTS looks lovely, thats where I want to be with mine. ..long way yet though

Its that a 18" frame? If so ....how tall are you?!!? :shock:

The black LTS1 is a 20" frame, Im 6'6", and 17st, hence the 800 Ib spring.

Actually feeling very pleased with myself - the LTS1 was creaking a bit from the trunnion, so I stripped it down and relubed with stendec fork grease, now silent. The build for the LTS DH is as follows:

Front end : FSA PIG headset/Azonic stem/Protaper bars/Junior Ts
Brakes: XT Vs - 1st gen (levers and cantis)
R mech: 739 XT, to an 8 sp STXRC shifter pod
BB: Shimano most likely
Cranks: Sugino mighty 900 forged, with a 42t syncros ring (nice)
Wheels are d521s on an LX rear and hope front
Tyres - Nokian gazza's of the LTS 1
Seatpost - plain silver alu
Saddle - WTB same as on LTS 1

So I suppose Its a fairly DH setup.
Got a road cassette on there too.

Im gonna see how it feels static built, before I spend any money on shocks and bushings - I worry Its too small...

[hoegaardenadds1]

its in various bits around the shed as cant work out how it goes on? seems to be specific to the lts and needs some bits to attach it to the pivot points maybe?
