niconj Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 SLX cranks, RT76 Rotors, Nukeproof pedals. I think this is it. Won't change anything now as it feels quite comfortable. Have to get rid of the pad know though. It's horrible with the new rotors even though they brake better.

Thought about red but I will probably leave it like this. Funny that with this bike I care more about riding it than having matching colors. First time this actually happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Got myself a very cheap set of BR-M810. They are in mint condition and I prefer them to the MT5s but only because of the pad clearance. I hate rubbing rotors and I sometimes hit them slightly when doing weird moves. Still happy with the bike though. No need to change the color of the rims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know why they went for white back in 2012. The guy doing the power coating did a great job. Looks flawlessly. If I could only get those rims in black. I may go for the new Inspired Team V2 ones but they are only 34mm wide. The Stiffys are 40. Edited January 27, 2017 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daviesdt Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Leave it. Think the green rims and green frame work, especially with the black tyres, forks, bars etc to set it off. Maybe green grips but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Now with brakes. Had a short ride today and I really love the BR-M810. Way less pad knock than the Saint 820 with the exact same pair of Trialtech pads and also less pad knock than Magura MT5s. Brakes are bled with Putoline HPX 2.5 and don't show that annoying bite point movement when pulling the lever in short succession a couple of times.

niconj Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Spank rims incoming. Makes the bike half a kg lighter. Pretty much what I gained during exam period without riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
