Sports The bikers (cyclist) thread

[Padi]

Hmm, you had the Diamondback right? Possibly, got a parts list?
Buying a better, used bike is in most cases smarter than blowing a fortune on upgrades.

 

[Gianclaudio]

Yes. The drivetrain is made mostly of Sram X3 and cheaper

Yeah, would be maybe wisest to just change the bike entirely then TBH, no offense. Those budget bikes are great for introducing you to the sport, but not much else :/ I started with a budget hardtail too, then went over to a 160mm fullsuspension bike, and now I built this current one. This sport is so addicting

 

[Zonda]

If I were you, I'd buy a completely new, used bike though.

Yeah, that's my second thought. Stupid as I am, the bike has a sentimental value that I need to get over first.

No offense taken, my dear friend

I've only parted from one out of nine bikes that I've had ^^ The one that I did part from didn't have any sentimental value, although it taught me a lot and was my first fullsuspension bike, it was a total of four months out of twelve in service, which pretty much ruined it for me Got to hate Specialized's custom sized parts..

Buying one of these frames, only certain parts are these:

Gears (1x10) Sram XO
Saint Cranks
Mavic 823:s on Hope 2 Evo hubs (tubeless set up)
Avid Code R brakes to begin with
Raceface Atlas FR bar
Straitline Vertical Wedge stem

Still wondering if I'll get Totems or 36 Vans.

Super stoked

//Yeah, its blue but planning on painting it light green, same graphics.

Small update.

Got a new Sram X9 Type2 derailleur, as my old Sram X0 DH derailleur decided to die Can't notice a difference TBH, the new clutch systems are overrated I'd say.. Did cope today's 12 hour cycling well though, no complaints at all.

And I just love Fat Alberts. Copes well on rocks, in mud, on dust, roots and hardpack, roll well, are reasonably light and survive a beating (rather big gaps, drops to flat et.c.). Couldn't be happier with them.

Next upgrades: Vivid Air, new SDG i-fly

@Padi me o'l mucker a 12 Hour race!? Your fit and decicated for sure. Great bike and thanks for sharing!

Friend of mine is the sole distributor for Shimano parts here in SA, had learnt a lot about cycling from him. Though admittedly I am too lazy to get in the saddle myself.

Mikä muuten oli se suomalainen pyörävalmistaja, joka teki rungot kokonaan hiilikuidusta, ja hinnat oli lähellä kymppitonnis? Sorry for the others, if I didn't speak in English
