new to the forum...posting my ride. swapping out the Thompson stem for a Diety with a bit for rise w/new bars and some ergon grips. Other than that I think she's good for a while. stay well, ride hard!
added another one to the stable...this time an e-mtb...loving it!
Upgrades:
fork (Fox 36 Factory 41mm offset; +20mm over OEM which were Rock Shox Recon Silver)
rear shock (Fox DPX2; OEM was Rock Shox Monarch)
rear mech (SRAM X01)
brakes (Magura)
brake rotors (202mm floating Magura; going to upgrade front to 220mm)
stem (Thomson; replacing with a Diety)
handle bars (Diety)
seat (Diety)
grips (Ergon)
tires (Maxxis Minion DHF DHR)
chain ring (Shimano Zee)
cranks (SRAM OEM)
bunch of little stuff (ex. bolts, spacers, SRAM pulleys, valve caps, thru axels, front fender, etc.)
Basically, I just needed something to use as a canvas to put what I wanted on it.
Oh, I also have a Garmin 830 computer with live tracking and auto SOS notification via txt w/GPS location....just in case I crash!
Pretty much the only things that are original are the wheelset, dropper post, chain, gear cluster, and bottom bracket). I'm thinking about taking every I removed and building a dirt jumper or something....or maybe I'm too old for that....NAH! LOL
