new pics of my bike...:D

phew...been a while since I have posted an update about my bike, and a LOT has changed in the meantime...so there you go...



looks pretty much like it always did, but a lot of new (and better) parts have been added.
the 2 biggest changes were the crankset and the wheels, both from canadian companies (raceface and syncros).

the crankset is a superstable (but still pretty light) one, actually for downhill use (RaceFace Diabolus):


the pedals have also been replaced by downhill ones (Syncros Meathook):


next the wheels, actually for enduro use, also from Syncros. I have switched from the standard 5mm skewer axle to a 9mm thru-bolt one, which makes it of course a lot more stable:










and last but not least, a new bottom bracket from Hope:

There's no nature to use a cool bike here for so ... this will have to do for now

the bike has to fit to it's intended use, so if you want a comfy ride and transport some stuff every now and then your bike is a good choice....
the only use for mine is to have fun, it would be a VERY bad commuting bike for example....nothing to carry stuff and I already go mental when I am not served instantly in a shop when the bike is outside unmonitored.

wohoo....finally got my "pro" stickers today! really sweet quality, the flag/text is laminated between 2 layers, so it was worth the money (20 bucks for 5 black + 5 white)...
