When u consider my other buddy paid £425 for a 2007 , well I think it is . The one with the part carbon swing arm . from pb ! Got to be the deal of the year :-)
I have one and I absolutely love it. Picked it up last year and it was in kinda rough shape, started by rebuilding the Marzocchi Drop off 3, new set of Hayes Stroker Trail Brakes, WTB dual duty Free Ride Rims with sram 506 hubs, new Shimano XT rear cassette, and Race Face Ride XC 170mm crankset. Then after all of this I broke the chainstay on the rear triangle in September of last year, got the new triangle (300 from rmb) and she is ready to slay once again!
Nice built man, here something I did to me bike that you should all do. I replaced my BB twice already and they didn't have that much time on them. I found that the plastic cap on top of the tube where the front derailleur mount is to blame. It's not water tight so water make it's way in and accumulate in the BB housing and ruin the BB. So I used some grey RTV and sealed it, no more problem.
just built my 2006 slayer,lyriks,hope/stans flows,answer 720 bars and 70mm stem,e13 32 chainring and e13 lg guide,xt brakes 180mm rotors,xt x10 shifter,xt 785 crank,hope bb and headset,thomson seatpost,charge saddle,minions front and rear.great for xc and equally at home dh,big grins and big fun,probably never need another bike,profile pic was before i upgraded some bits,that were of the old bike
does anyone know how the 2006 slayer compares to newer 160mm frames,in case i fancy a change,i prefer to huck it up for more fun down,seams a fare trade off to me,any thoughts?
I am still riding the 06 slayer, but I just destroyed the rear triangle!!! cracked all four legs to the pivot! :-( would love some help finding a replacement...
Nothing doing in the uk for RM,had to have pivot bolts made at great expense,has RM abandoned the UK?Evans cycles are supposed tho be the dealers,but they don't give a shit unless there selling you an overpriced trek or speshy
