How long do you want to ignore this user?



Most of you don't care, but those of you who do know what I'm talking about.

2005 Specialized Rockhopper
Manitou Axle Comp 100mm adjustable fork
Shimano XT rear derailer
Shimano XT front derailer
Shimano Alivio 8 speed cassette (XT mega 9 comming soon)
TruVativ crank (XT comming soon)
Shimano Alivio shifter/brake handles (XT comming soon)
TruVativ v-brakes (XT v-brakes comming soon)
Alex DH2.0 double walled rims
Specialized Adrenaline XC tires


This thing is bad, as soon as I get done swapping out all the alivio crap for XT components i'll be almost done. I'm looking forward to racing with the A&M cycling team for the next 4 years. My cousin Christa McDanel (Godsey) and her husband Greg Godsey were both active in the cycling team in their time here, hopefully one day I can be as good as them.

Anyways, thanks and gig 'em.

No offense, but why are you upgrading to the XT componenets, If you are talking about racing you should move to the XTR series of components. Otherwise I would just keep what you have on the bike for right now, until you are ready to make the move up

XTR components are considerably more expensive than the XT components, and the only real benifit is the weight. XTR components weigh about 3/4 what the XT components do. considering that I weigh over 200lbs already dropping 2 or 3 pounds of the bike isn't really worth the extra money.

If you are going to be racing on Mountain Bikes, the weight mean a lot more than you think.

That should get you started.

As time passes and you really start racing, you'll probably upgrade.

This one will last me at least a year until I can get a Stumpjumper FSR.
