Hey guys,

Just thought I'd share my new build with you! I'm super happy with it and it feels so responsive! It goes well out the gate and has been a pleasure to ride!! She comes in at a shade over 26lbs which is still about 1lbs or so heavier than I want but have a few more weight saving things to get.

Real nice build. How are the white brother forks I think those will be the next upgrade on my charge.

btw where do you get to race 4x round here? Its something I want to get into.

Lovely machine

Thanks gladdice.

Thanks hoepud.

I really like them!!!! I know that the Identiti factory 4x Team all run them and they have been put through their paces all last year and as a slightly cheaper alternative to Fox 831's I had no issues in choosing them! The come in white and black too.

They feel nice and plush, they don't have as much adjustment as 831's but they have enough. I am almost 110% happy with the set up on them and that's after a couple of rides. A tad more air in them and they are sorted!

But the key question is how do you get it so clean - even the tyres!!

I wipe it down after every ride!! If its muddy quick hose down and its done. As i keep the bike indoors I just brush and hose the treads and wipe them over so they are clean! Its a bit OCD to do it but looks box fresh every time you ride and thats worth it in my eyes!

The tyres were brand spankers in the pic so that helps too!!!

Matt,

You have some nice bikes at your disposal...

Liking the white and blue... real cool looking

Cheers chatman,

I shall try and get a pic of my bikes all lined up at some point! All running the white and blue colour scheme!!! Not that I'm a complete tart at all!!!!

You are such a tart but then aren't we all!
