Finally got some new wheels, new fork, swapped over my old brakes and got a front derailleur. This thing rides so nice!

if you lowered your stem the bike would handle better. I would play around with that. Anyways I really love that bike.

really nice nelson. the only thing i dont like are the chromag, stylus and giro stickers. maybe its just the font of them but they look really out of place.

personally i think the 200mm hydraulics are overkill, and well the seat is nice if you can take it.

what is going to be the main use of that?

How so? I've only got an inch of spacers and the fork has travel adjust from 160mm to 100mm. Plus I don't want the steer tube to be too short when I sell it.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, the stickers are the stock ones.

That seat is by far the most comfortable seat I've ever had. I love it. The rotors were just kicking around, I've thought about putting 6" rotors on, but I don't mind the extra modulation and power.

I plan on riding this thing everywhere....shore, epic rides, dirt jumps and maybe a little whistler...

Don't cut the steertube, just put the spacer on top of the stem, lower is better....trust us...

It's on that way for climbing traction :lol: :lol: :lol:
It's a really nice bike, the fork labels and the grip clamps really tie it all together. Really clear photos too, they almost look fake!

Holy fuck haha :lol:

I couldn't get the tires to seat with my compressor so I took them to steed and scott put them. Riding later that afternoon I noticed them and just laughed. I'm surprised it took you 2 pages to notice :lol:

Scott's to blame? Figures.

P.s. This is the first time reading this thread.

Nah, I'm not sure if I had them on in the right direction when I brought them in. I gotta give scott credit for being able to get the tire to inflate in the first place, it was pretty hard...

Haven't dropped a chain yet. Thinking about just a simple Blackspire stinger though.

This is my do everything bike. I'm leaving for the UK in 4 months and I'm going to bring my bike, this should be a good bike for the riding over there too...

yea ok!
