SB66 Enduro / Downhill Build

[rjwspeedjunkie]

Hi All,

Thought people may like to see my recently finished bike. I have had it a few months now, but have literally finished the spec today by fitting some nice shiny new wheels in my freezing cold shed!

I've built it up to be able to do all day rides (more so than my usual DH and freeride bikes anyway) as well as some downhill and bike park riding - Which is where it will mainly be used.

It's happy to do the big drops at Chicksands so plenty strong enough for mostly everything I can find locally and good enough to throw down the hill at Cwmcarn.

Spec is as follows:

• Yeti SB66 - Small - Yeah I'm a shortarse!
  
• Cane Creek DB coil shock
  
• BOS Deville 160 TRC tapered fork
  
• Hope Headset
  
• Carbon Ti headset cap
  
• Straitline Headset spacers
  
• Thomson 50mm 4x/DH stem
  
• Enve Carbon DH bar
  
• Renthal lock on Kevlar grips
  
• Thomson Seatpost
  
• Selle Italia SLR flow carbon saddle (yeah its for a road bike, but its light and comfortable)
  
• Yeti seat QR
  
• Saint M820 Trail brakes with 203mm front and 180mm rear Formula rotors
  
• Saint M820 I-spec direct mount shifter
  
• Saint M820 clutch rear mech
  
• Hope jockey wheels
  
• Shimano XTR ti cassette
  
• Shimano XTR chain
  
• eThirteen LG1+ Crank
  
• eThirteen ti nitride bottom bracket
  
• eThirteen TRS+ chain device
  
• Hope F20 pedals
  
• Yeti front mech blanking plate
  
• Mavic Crossmax SX 2013 wheels
  
• Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.25 tubeless tyres
  

Heres a few pics, sorry about the quality, poor light in my shed and too much snow outside today to get out anywhere....

Nice to see one with BOS, can you let us know how they are!

Cool build.

Cheers Andrew, im pretty chuffed with it.

As for the BOS forks, i couldnt be happier with them, they feel much like my fox 40s in terms of damping and the travel seems more like 180mm than 160 because of it. theres a little bit of flex, but nothing more than a fox 36 or a lyrik. Id say from all of the forks i have had with this travel that they are way more contoled than any other and they ride like a well tuned coil fork than an air one!
