If anyones interested I'll post the spec list, but most of its revell....

Things I want to do:

Lower the forks - (still not sure :confused:)
New tyres
Rear Brake - doesnt even work ATM :confused:


I feel like going for a ride now :(

[Purt]

Seat and grips have arrived.

Might take the brake off and run it brakeless for the moment. (brakes dont even work so no point being there)

Still not sure about lowering the forks.......

Also de-stickering it???

Yeah i would lower the forks, don't ask for advice i have no idea..
I would desticker them but. Cleanliness FTW.


Why do you need new tyres? I heard they were awesome...
And what is wrong with the brake? What sort of brake is it?

Looks nice btw. How much does it weigh?

Yeah bike looks nice alright. I assume you bought it as a complete. If that is the case then I would leave the forks as is, ride it for a while and see how it goes.

Why do you need new tyres? I heard they were awesome...

They are awesome. Possibly the best tyres I've ridden, want to try schwalbes though. They just need replacing their really worn and the rear has holes in it. Just dont know where to get them from, Ive been to a few bike shops.


And what is wrong with the brake? What sort of brake is it?

Its an MX-2 :o. Was fine till I went riding in the rain, then got really sloppy, then when held fully on it wouldnt do anything. Contaminated pads? New ones?


Looks nice btw. How much does it weigh?

On my crap scales at home I got around 14kg. Though they can be a kilo either way....

Ok guys, heres an updated pic. Had to go out and get some new ones because I'm selling it.
