Yeah, tighen everything before use Wink

Play will have a very small audience anyway. Not that many slope style riders

I find the tanwalls giving more contrast.With the black rims, black tires, black cockpit it is for me to dark. Anyway just customizing the way you like it! Smile

I also lifted the saddle a bit on the tanwall photos, which makes the bike look a bit dorky.

Tan walls look nice on that bike IMO.

As you can see. I'm not very good at dirt jumping. It's my first dirtbike so I still have to learn a lot.

Step by step Hehe.

Btw, I have no news of my bike for the past 34 hours. So it looks I will not be able to test it this weekend. Frown

i dont even dare to post video's. You do quite some trial work!
That is why I consider front brake,not that I do many tricks but doing turns on front wheel is one I practice also for riding on the trails.

I'll try doing this without a front brake. It isn't that hard actually once you got your head around it.

Why the.... I ordered a DT EX 471 rim. I could‘ve just re-laced the hub but yeah... Now it‘s going to be a super strong rear wheel with this rim and the Hope Pro 4 Singlespeed hub. Big Grin

This time I went for silver spokes though. I think they go well with the frame and the nipples that are to be used with the rim are silver too. This will probably end in me lacing a front wheel soon too. Big Grin

So how does it ride for you? As I don't know anything about dirtbikes, I think it's doing just fine. I am still getting used to it having only ridden it 3x so far.

Didnt ride much yet. Basically just bedding in the brakes after delivery and building it. No time till at least monday next week....

But didn't feel small or short or anything. Just regular.

So you went for a dual brake setup? I don't need a front brake and I'm very amazed at how well the SLX performs with a 140mm rotor and resin pads. I can even bunny hop to rear onto small obstacles without the brake slipping.

No... Typo out of habit...

The level TL is definitely not a SRAM guide!

I want first to ride it as is. Do some pumptrack and some dirt jump, if they finish the local park. Then I will see if I change anything.

I went for the SLX just because of the bigger pad clearance. This and a 140mm rotor will give me a rub free brake even when crashing a bit.

Finally, I recieved my bike today. But, I had a problem with the stem. One of the screws seems doesn't reach as deep as the others... It looks that it tightens enough, but I'm not so much confident about it.

Is it shorter?
