My 2010 Team Colours 575 build

[MonsterYeti]

Just came from an S-Works Stumpy 08 Carbon. Wanted more travel and the ability to adjust the suss, guess the brain just did not work for me......

Bought an On-One Carbon 456 but needed bounce so picked up a sweeeeeet 575 frame, hardly used with carbon rear end.

Medium 575 frame Team Colours Carbon rear end
RP23 @ the rear / 150mm 2010 RS Revs Bolt thru up front
XTR gears all round / SLX crank / DX pedals
Avid Elixir CR carbon & magnesium brakes 160/203
Hope Hoops on DT 5.1d rims / Racing Ralph 2.25 tyres
Thomson Stem 100mm & Seatpost 367mm
Race Face Deus XC bars / Yeti Team Colour Grips (thanks Andrew!) Spesh Avatar saddle / Salsa clamp

Edited with pics working..........

Can't open the link. Shame because the bike sounds great.

Very nice! I do love that colour scheme.

[MonsterYeti]

Thanks Dingabell, glad to be part of the tribe. Ridden 5 times in last 2 weeks and LOVE it.

Yes, very very nice indeed.

I am warming to that colour (at last!)

Let us know how you get on with that fork, it is on my short list for the next 575.

On that subject, does anyone have any experience with the Sektor yet ? I heard it is being billed as the general, but lighter, replacement for the Pike ?

Cheers

Cheers Fred. The Rev is very very light but still gives some great bounce and rebound. I am a heavy rider and found it hard to set up with the negative and positive dual air chambers but through trial and error I have got it running perfectly for me. It is 150mm and being so light can cause the front end to rise slightly but that could be down to my riding style as well.....

If I could get a light Talas or U turn I may be interested for climbing but generally this is ideal.

Go bolt through too, so so stiff it really helps.

[FF]

Cheers for that ..

I'm heavier than some too !

Howard at BB pretty much told me I should use 15mm bolt through on the Pike when I got my 575 in '07 and he was spot on.

Would be nice to have the capability of the Pike on the next 575 without the considerable weight penalty though.
