very nice pal!!!! ive just finished building mine minus saint cranks that aint turned up yet check her out but yeah loving yours what chain is that ive put a kmc on mine but the colour dont stand out like yours???
i love this bike mate looking at building one on a 2012 frame with fox 36 talas with xtr drive and brakes just wondering what they ride like and whats the rear shock like , thanks
Its a great bike man! The rear shock is a little firm as its an air shock but it means it can climb really well, and also keeps the weight down, I've built this for FR and it still only just weighs in at 36lbs, very fun out on the trails indeed
I've just looked at your pictures, I think it looks different because you took yours on an iPhone, whereas these pictures were taken on a proper camera, so maybe its just played around with things a bit?
Yeah its a pretty sweet bike man! I'm out of action at the moment due to a crash but the bikes fantastic! After a few crashes I can confirm it is strong
haha fair enough man, cheers for the info, climbs well as well as descending? sucks about the crash mate, what happened? get back on the bike soon bud!
I'd say with my setup it prefers descents but you could easily built one up to be as good at both, even just changing tyres on mine would help the climbing! As for the crash there was a random kicker on the one of my local trails I always accidentally missed and always wanted to hit, so the one day I actually try to hit it, it launches me full chat into a tree My hips quite painful still though my knees are getting a little better
The lower portion of the chainstay Pretty much one batch of Megas apparently had a fault in them so as a precaution Nukeproof sent a replacement to anybody who'd bought a Mega for free just in case.
