Maiden voyage today back from the bike shop. Few little tweaks to do, but pleased to say that it doesn't seem too big. I'm used to a long top tube so the reach seems spot on. Stem could do with having a bit less rise, but a Velocity stem has landed so it may sort that. Really pleased

Going on a night ride tomorrow so will see how it handles off-road!

Nice... looks so much better with the P2s on, and I bet it handles better too!

I do like the P2's, got a matching Velocity stem now too

Really need to take some pics with a decent camera!

Velocity stem has made a bit difference to the position on the bike, really plreased I changed it. Rides better and looks better. Need to look out for some off-road tyres now as the semi-slicks that are on it are ok for communiting but off-roading is needed

Tyres swopped to some 2.1 Speed Kings. Should hopefully provide a bit more grip in the wet. Also changed the 4 arm XT cranks (M739) to some 5 arm LX cranks (M539). Seems a bit more fitting.

Had bought some Judy FSX forks for this, but after un-wrapping them discovered one of the drop-outs had becomed detached. However, springs arrived for my Judy XC forks, so they're ready to fit.

Rojo's stolen my P2's, which gave me an excuse to fit the Judy XC forks. Picked up a WTB aheadset from Stif's eBay store, which promptly arrived next day. Got the Judy forks on now! Just need to pick up a more suitable ahead stem now, as I've had to fit a Kore one I had laying around and it's a bit chunky. Pics to follow

Sorry about p2's

What stem you after??

EarlofBarnet · Jan 2, 2012

Haha, don't worry. Wanted the Judys on

Think I'll find something suitable at the shop. Just something cheap will do for now.

rojo · Jan 2, 2012

Ok cool look forward to pic's

The judys been rebuilt??

EarlofBarnet · Jan 2, 2012

Yup. Changed the oil in the damper, fitted some new Kronos springs and given them a good regrease. Should be good to go
