AndrewEH1 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) If I were you I'd just try and get it sold in one. Might be a push with everyone getting excited about 27.5". I had to just sell my frame and forks in the end and move all the parts over. I didn't get too many idiots on Pinkbike, no worse than here really. I broke my shoulder on Sunday crashing the Spicy. Just went a bit hot in to a section pedalling in to a corner and hit a stump hidden behind some grass and it sent me flying. Won't be in a rush to sell, no internet at home at the moment anyway. The Five needs a little bit of attention before selling, plus removing some more premium parts! Sounds like a sore one! Where did it happen, and how long are you out for?

The Five needs a little bit of attention before selling, plus removing some more premium parts! Sounds like a sore one! Where did it happen, and how long are you out for? Happened on one of the secret trails at Glentress, a really rooty, natural one. It'd been raining a lot so it was a case of slippin' and slidin' your way down, but I was doing multiple runs on it getting a feel for it. They haven't told me….I'm awaiting a call from the fracture clinic as I left the hospital with them telling me it was fine (later to be rung and told in fact it wasn't) so I'm going to stay off the mountain bike this weekend but i'll start riding again next weekend. Only way to improve it is to use it, and as they haven't told me any better……. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has told me how long the ol' fusing takes - so I'm guessing a few days before it's at least tacky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Here's the current look of my Stumpjumper project. Just fitted an XTR BB with Deore Hollowtechs and a XT Shadow+ rear mech. This months spend will be an XT block, chain and narrow wide sprocket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Charge spoon saddle now on and a good muck off. On the back of the narrow wide topic I've just ordered myself a 34t raceface ring to drop the mech and stuff as well as a new rear tyre as mines bald as a coot. Other then that just enjoying it. I've been playing with shock pressures recently and think I've just about hot it dialled. Rides nice and soft but still very responsive and at times abit twitchy. Enjoying the decent mode on the shock more and more after finding a pair of balls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Here's how mine is coming along, just fitted the Reba's, Shadow+ mech, Deore cranks, Superstar narrow wide, XTR BB, 180 rotors (overkill I know but they're pretty much brand new), Spesh Enduro 2.2 tyres (£20 ebay bargain) and cheap risers (with a Trialtech stem till I get a proper one sorted). Pedals are on the way so I just need a chain, cassette, shifter, seatpost and shock linkage, oh and some bolts to mount the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 They are notably ahort frames. Need to get a layback seatpost and then I'll see how it goes, the good thing is I'll be able to swap everything straight over to a newer frame if it actually gets some good use!
