Rear Brake: Avid 20 with green Brodie magnesium booster

Brake Pads: stock… still
Brake Cables: errr yeah the rear has one – front is a Magura hose that was hideously expensive… don’t ask
Cantilever cable hangers: n/a
Brake Levers: Rear: Avid SD1.9 Front: Shimano Deore Hydrolic ‘cause the Magura one was made of crap plastic and the threads stripped fitting a new hose and the Shimano one was there for a reasonable price and amazingly it works with the Magura caliper
Front Shifter: m739
Rear Shifter: m748
Front Derailleur: awaiting the fitment of an m770 as the old LX that’s there at the moment has developed a nasty rattle though it still works fine
Rear Derailleur: m951 rapid rise with funky built-in rollamajig thingy – I’m not convinced about rapid rise, but I’m giving it a go

Tyres: IRC Mythos XC
Tubes: they’re black with lots of patches - truth is need some new ones with longer valve stems as I’m now running the deep rims, maybe next time I get a puncture
Saddle: black leather with grey kevlar corners and crotch cut out hole - branding has worn off, but it is comfy - I think it was originally off one of my road bikes
Seatpost: Ritchey Comp
Seatpost Binder: it’s black and made of metal
