Using a truing stand.
Old and cheap rim.
Pulled a cheap bike apart for the rims as they were the same as the ones on the Blade.

Oh well keep at it then. Did you lube the nipples when you laced the rim.

Yes, and looked fantastic in my fishnet singlet too.Oh well keep at it then. Did you lube the nipples when you laced the rim.
I may have to get a better quality "new" rim as it's going to cop a bashing on the terrain here and these ones are just cheap Alex DA-16's.

Step away from the milo, tooo much sugar...
Best Frenemy you could have!
Depends if it was the fishnet singlet or the talk of bicycle parts.
Either way, I consider you weird, and I'm happy you're at the other end of the country (anything south of Bombay is of course the other end)

Well done rebuilding something older but you can get some great gear secondhand at moment.
I have one of these http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/cycl...-582840733.htm but diff colour, one spec level down on components and no DRCV shocks n forks. Mines about 3 years old now, done about 4000km of fun riding and crashing on it.
Next bike will be all mountain setup 150+mm travel or maybe downhill bike. Had hardtail and played on a mates carbon fibre one but full suspension is where its at for me.
The best thing to do is ride motorbike in morning then go for mountainbike ride afterwards

The geometry's are very similar.
Just need to adjust the MTB seat and play with the bar position.
The Bomber EXR's are only 8cm travel no matter what I do to oil/air levels, but I checked Marzocchi's latest x-country forks and they're still only 8cm travel.

Woah steady on with all that suspension there young fella- you'll be jumping off curbs next.

First things first, been wearing my baseball cap backwards to get in the right mindset
Scooter boy
The trance sounds good, you can get some great deals on 26" second hand bikes with good spec for under $1000, everyone wants a 29er so the 26ers are cheap as chips, if you are doing alot of technical downhill trails the 26" will probabaly suit the purpose better anyway.
As one of the other guys mentioned try and get out night riding too, if that does"nt sharpen your reflexes I don't know what will, I almost hit a horse that was stood directly across a trail last night!
Two wheels good, four wheels bad.

Have a looksie on trademe at the mo barrie - there aren't many good bikes on there for cheap. There were a while ago. I thought the 29er thing was a fad but it seems the 27.5er is a fad inside a fad.
Each to their own I spose.
I reckon this is a very good buy - only biased cos I have 2 of them.

I may get out for a ride this weekend & get the bike covered in mud.
