Nothing left to upgrade on my mottera Nero 3 now
This was my first MTB so i wasnt 100% on what i was buying at the time .
I have since spent a fortune on upgrades lol .
My friends have been in to MTB for years and taken me on some sketchy rides , downhill was not what i had in mind when i brought this bike but i now have the bug .
Bike park wales , HOD and Jacobs ladder in the first 6 months of riding , Tarland and Laggan in 2 weeks time , bike park wales and HOD at the end of the month.
I have fallen off a lot and ended up in AnE last month with a suspected broken neck lol , but im still made for it .
ive also lost 2 stone on this cheating Ebike HA .
This bike give me the confidence to try any trails

Upgrades are

Just curious... My moterra neo 2 came standard with 160mm rear travel and a 230x65 shock. How did you get 170mm using the same shock size? I thought moterra neo's have the same geometry.
I removed the 5mm stroke spacer from inside the shock.
When i accually measered travel i was getting closer to 180. So I have fitted a 2.5mm strock spacer backing in, giving 165mm

Ha I got the Carbon 1 and I still see lots to upgrade!
Cassette, chainring, cranks, levers, hubs/wheels... and on it goes.
I do like the feel of the Lyrik but might upgrade to ultimate. I think I just need the Rc3 cartridge but may be wrong.
