Hi mate i am building a 07 575 and looking at buying a suspention seatpost which one do you have and what do you recon to it, your honest opinion and why that one cheers Daz It's not a "suspension" seatpost, but a telescopic one - and it's a Kindshock i900 Remote (75mm drop) Good quality for money, very usefull on steep & rocky downhills. |

Pretty nice bike. But I have two questions... Why you had switched to Shimano XT series derailleurs. What it was not pleasant to you in XTR? And what is this tatter on a bottom tube with two awful plastic belts?  |

And what is this tatter on a bottom tube with two awful plastic belts? I only changed for an XT rear derailleur because XTR ones were not available when decided to go to 2x10 speed instead of 3x9. Otherwize I would have got an XTR. Though I must say that the XT works just as well as the XTR. As for that bit of thing underneath the downtube, it's only a bit of old tyre that I've cut to protect the downtube and also the cables running down. I put it on depending on where I'm going to ride (i.e. mainly when it's likely to be a very stony area). |
