99 Specialized FSR Ground Control re build

[Anisawrus]

I was very surprised by the rigidity of the assembly
The behavior is homogeneous, and very nervous, despite the big direction angle.

Hahahah why not man go have some fun, looks like your sitting pretty high there though!

keep cool, don't worry, this is a bike rebuild for fun, just for fun, not for competition, jump or DH.
The objective was just to retype a wreck.
I use it to light cross-country, nothing else.

On the ground, excellent behavior. Brakes are perfect.

Bonjour!
that is a lot of travel you got up front there - and im sceptical about adding a 130mm fork to my FSR.... :shock:

otherwise a nice rebuild there.
may i suggest, for the rear brake adapter, i would use something to distribute the stress from the rear dropout of the seat stay by attaching a 'strut brace' from point 'A'&'B' up to the rear brake mount 'C' (as per the original sharkfin disc adapter design) - you dont wont your front AND rear end splitting......mon Dieu!

par exemple, the image below shows a threaded rod with 2 x rose joints bolted to either end. costs around £5 (~€7)....
