Hi Guys,
My spanking new SB66C arrived last week in medium turquoise flavour. I have been busy building this week in the hope of getting out to ride at the weekend with some mates. It's been pretty time consuming. I have built a few bikes so I have most of the tools, but nothing of this caliber so a bit of extra care has had to be taken.
The spec is stock so far but more than adequete:
Headset: Cane Creek
Front mech: XT
Rear mech: XT clutch
Shifters: XT 2x10
Cassette: SLX
Chain: SLX
Cranks: Raceface SIXC, these are nice
Stem: Raceface turbine
Bars: Raceface SIXC
Brakes Formula R1S
Wheels: DT Swiss X1600
Tyres: Maxxis Ardents EXO tubless setup 2.25 rear 2.4 front
Forks: Fox 34 150 FIT
Post: Current Tompson Elite - have a Reverb on another bike to be fitted.
Hoses etc got shortened last night and I took it up the road for a quick spin. First impressions where pretty amazing, light, taught, stiff, plush and really quiet.....I hope to get it off road properly today. I had better take some more pics first before it gets covered in UK winter cack.
Hers some pics if I figure out how to post them up!
