There's a ride on at Thorndon On Sunday if your up for it.

Got a few more bits to add onto the bike yet... All in moderation though and each bit has a job to do...

So far only replaced the seat post clamp to qr but anodised red of course. All im really intending to do is just replace a few bits to add a bit of colour, all bits will be an upgrade from original parts so all new bits will be a fully functioning part of the bike

the floating rotors will look nice mate, have to watch they dont rub on your forks as was looking at getting some myself but have found they dont get on with Fox forks as rub on the caliper mount..

Superstar components seem to be a popular place to get them and well priced...



My floating vented rotors have never fouled the forks, calipers or mounts and I've always run Fox forks.

Carbon for bling

Its not just the forks....There are some hub / calliper / mount / fork / rear stay combos where the floating rotors can rub... its pot luck really but is usually fine.. main thing is if you are buying them just be prepared that there is a small chance they wont fit for some reason.
