Some updates to my BC podsol HT. Tried to get rid of most of the components from the "big S" companies.

Podsol with no components from the big brands.

My very much not stock Specialized Rockhopper. Great bike for hitting pretty much any trails I feel comfortable riding. And its super capable for the investment imo.

Clean build. Looks really nice.

Cheers. Low maintenance too (10 speed less sensitive to bent hangars, dropped coil fork, indestructible "cheapish" dropper).

Advent? That’s what I’m running. Affordable and works fantastic

Yup, advent x. Don't feel like I'm missing out when I switch to the shimano 12 speed stuff on the rest of my bikes, which, as far as I am concerned, is a glowing review.

Yeah, its a nice color. Hides the dirt nicely too, which probably isn't the best. The weather right now is great in AZ, perfect time to get out for a bit of riding. Makes up for the summer when you have to keep odd hours for riding.

Did you use the ole easy off method? or just sanding and patience?

Debating doing this on my build,but have been hesitant to put in the time.

3 minutes in the caustic soda bath plus some sanding with a pad will get you a great finish with very little effort. To be honest, this one I did with a dremel because I didn't have caustic soda at home.

Couldn’t agree more on the Advent gear. I actually am preferring it to my sram stuff ag this point. I did grab a 9 speed set up but it came without a clutch. Which sucks a bit but to its credit I only dropped chain once on a 4,000’ DH descent this fall which is pretty damn good.

The ten speed with clutch is the one though. Solid
