I want to get my Yeti on the scales and see what it weighs, I would imagine yours is going to be lighter than mine I would think...

Very nice. I'll have to put some pics up of my mojo SL which was finished only about 4 weeks ago.
Ride it hard

She's beautiful, is that a cadence magnet on your left crank - you're not a closet roadie are you? Smiling

leopafe's picture

It is a cadence magnet as I use my Edge 705 in all my bikes (including a roadie) and I had a spare cadence/speed sensor lying around.

Long time no see mate

How do you like the Revelation forks
And how much did they set you back
Next year I'm thinking of changing from Fox to Rock Shox

Hey Andy, it's been a while as I went back to Brazil and now I'm living in Melbourne.

I don't have much to compare to as my previous bike had a 2007 Fox F100 RLC, but the Revelation is butter smooth and it is not even close to broken in. I reckon I'm a Rock Shox convert now. It cost $700 including shipping from Canada (eBay).
I don't know how good the new Fox forks are, but I can't imagine them being any better then this.

Thanks Brian.......i dont feel so left out now....cheers

Hey Leo
great ride - good to know you still around.

The new FIT damper cartridge Fox forks look pretty good.

Had a ride of jacojoco's new Reign 0 and it was real smooth and a lot more linear than other fox forks I've ridden - that extreme ramp-up that means you never use the last quarter of the travel seems to have been fixed.

Not in the class of a Lefty, but you can't have it all, can you? Sticking out tongue

Welcome to the Mojo clan!
Looks great, and you'll love the Revs. I had a set on my mojo for a while, definitely adds front end precision.
I've gone back to Fox float RLCs just for the weight savings (11.06Kg current weight).

BTW If you find you get ghost shifting over bumps, shorten the middle rear derailleur cable outer to 'as short as you can', because you'll find it really loops up when the suspension is at the static sag position, and being such active suspension in use, it gets a lot of flexing there. (It looks a bit longer than needed in the photo).

Thanks for the tip on ghost shifting, I'll keep an eye on that.

Unfortunately mine is heavier than I thought it would be at around 11.9kg, but with the burly wheelset and heavy tyres it should be expected. Just 100 grams heavier than my 07 Anthem 0 though, what I'm happy with.

Cheers.

.. of me. Sad

Ahem, let's start over shall we?

Very nice bike! Smiling

I'll plead jealousy as the reason for my bad manners. Eye-wink
