GT LTS DH Finally built

[hybrid666]

Boxxers are great! Dale played around with them and seem to work fine I have totalled the rear shock though But thats covered this week and I can finally ride with a working rear shock

I was suprised to see peeps riding and just "slaming" down (using there travel) and not using themselves to have a smoother faster landing- Suppose a lot has changed lol

I will check that over the other side out - I don't think my legs will work tomorrow after riding back to Egglestone with the gears I had

You'll be fine, I used to ride up to Hamsterley everyday on the Foes and Intenses in the weeks leading up to all of the races remember, you'll be OK.

As for the slamming..... big travel bikes make people lazy. Don't lose what you learned when you rode with us lot, stay smooth. Slamming just makes you slower, and more prone to crashing.

Yeah seems so! It all came back to me lol never forget how to ride a bike just need fitness increasing ten fold haha

 

[boxxer]

Nice but would look much better with DHO's or 151's

 

[hybrid666]

Yeah they look nice! I got the boxxers for a very good price though and as long as they work and last me a couple of seasons I'll be a happy

Looks mean and purposeful but are you sure it is a bike and not a motocrosser missing an engine? What does it weigh? Can it go uphill as well?do you have to still use petrol to take it to the trail ?I would get knackered on the way there! :twisted:

 

[hybrid666]

Engine is in my legs fella!

Weight wise... Now thats where I am having the fun! Most friends DH bikes weigh twice what mine does so its lighter and I can through it around more and I really am seeing the advantages it is giving me.

Not so easy up hills but I can manage but then if I wanted a XC bike I would of put 3 rings on the front with single crown forks ( which is what my M2,P7 will look like when I find a frame.

This was built to ride to abuse and to race most importantly have fun

Just a few more up to date pics! I decided to go with Maguras on the back and bought a new seat.

Looking great

Here's mine, before the rear shock blew and the brakes siezed up

Will get it built back up eventually but firmly on the back burner for now, frame looks nice on the shelf anyway

What chain guide are you running on it Mark? So are you keeping or selling still?
