"Stock" with 700 x 32 WTB Cross Wolfs - this is now the spare wheel set (XT hubs, Salsa Delgado rims). (http://home.comcast.net/~vintagewater/slc_cx01.jpg) Love the stem... (http://home.comcast.net/~vintagewater/slc_cx02.jpg) Monster-ized with Winwood 26er MTB fork, black XT/WTB Trail 29er wheel set, Avid CS2 rotors, IRD 12-28 cassette - all to fit the Bontrager XDX 29 x 1.75 tires. (http://home.comcast.net/~vintagewater/slc_mx01.jpg) Yeah a bit of toe overlap...oh well, more leaning less turning... (http://home.comcast.net/~vintagewater/slc_mx03.jpg) Meaty 'Tragers (http://home.comcast.net/~vintagewater/slc_mx02.jpg) All in all fun in the sun - gonna take it up Railroad this weekend - it might even rain!

although i'm still scared of carbon forks. Title: Re: Monster Cross Post by: ericb49 on October 10, 2008, 09:12:19 AM although i'm still scared of carbon forks. I guess it depends on what you compare them too. The stock forks didn't so much "chatter" as "vibrate rapidly 2-6 inches fore and aft under braking". Stiff MTB forks on a cross bike...yummers. Oh and I'll take carbon over these forks too :D even though they are purty. (http://home.comcast.net/~vintagewater/eb10.jpg) |
