Love it. Now come do all that to mine which is still stock after 2 years!

When someone asks what your superpower is, tell them its "buying a mountain bike and keeping it stock" hahaha

Hi All,

thought i would do a little bike check update. Been a while since i did last.

A couple of changes since last update:

- Now running a BLACK spring on the DHX2, went with the DVO 425-500lb spring (the 450-550lb cane creek one felt too stiff, plus i wanted black spring anyway. I lost about 7kg after putting the cane creek one on, so once that happened it was way to stiff so went down a spring with the new one, feels pretty good for now. Still no bottom outs)
- Maxxis tyres front and rear now
- Now also running cushcore pro in front and rear (LBS talked me into it when getting new tyres after finally popping one of the stock bontragers). Rather annoyingly i got a snake bite pinch flat on the rear FIRST RIDE with the cushcore, annoyed was an understatement!!

So that really is it for now unless something breaks haha. But you never say never i guess Updated pics below, cheers

I still remember my first peddle strike like it was yesterday. I wanted to carry her home on my back. It was sad. But there’s been many more since then and surprisingly no problems.

Nice Rail bro. This thread makes me feel better about all the money I wasted on my bike .
