Just finished fixing the headset, the rear gear cables and few other little bits. fitted a 190mm shock but its still a little too long so i need to source a 184/5mm one.

gave her a run round the block in the rain with VWDog. Lully. feels much better fit than Cally and certainly a bit more chuckable.


Still to do is fit the chain device, cut the steerer tube to a sensible length oh and fit a rear disc, when i find one

Looking good matey!!!!

Cheers Matt.
I was in Chelmer cycles yesterday, i was looking at the Yeti SB66 thats a good looking bike, and much more burly than it looks in the pictures. do you get to have a play on them>?

New disc fitted, copter tape applied (will need to re do at some point) brakes and shocks adjusted. I think its ready to hit the trails?

Right so today i was going to try a 184mm shock, but did get to try a few other things.
First off measured again the i2i

picked up a 165mm shock off a friend, as thats what the crazy yanks on MTBR are using.


before swapping them over i measured the head angle, 75'
so i put the 165mm shock on.

so not only does it have to move quite a long way in (so loosing travel) it decreases the head angle by 5'

So i'm going to order the Monarch 184mm shock

In the mean time i took some photos in the snow.

You've made a good job of that mate, bet you can't wait to get her to Wales.

Too right. Once I get the new shock I can start thinking about new brakes, forks, cranks erm I think that's it? Oh no cassette

The bike looks superb except for the red cables?

The camera brings them out, but cheers Javi

Why new forks?

That looks the dogs dangley bits, wish i had of got there earlier. bet i only missed you by a few minutes. gutted.

No worries kev.
Ev I want to join the fox band wagon with 15mm trough axles

Would you stick a decal with the name Beyonce?

I'm toying with what stickers to put on her.

She LOOKS good naked
