MTB Upgrades
FOX 2013 34 Float 26 160 FIT CTD
Hehe that is some mouthful… the short version is there’s a new fork on the front of the Mojo HD. The 2008/09 36 Float has been retired and replaced by a FOX 2013 34 Float 26 160 FIT CTD. Luckily the new fork is easier to setup than it is to say! (more…)
XTR Shifter
I upgraded the rear shifter from XT to XTR a couple of weeks back now and am loving it! The difference between the two shifters is surprising. Compared to the light and definite action of the XTR shifter, the action of the XT shifter is like pushing the shift lever through sludge with indistinct shift clicks along the way. (more…)
Shimano XT 2012 Brakes
Got the new 2012 XT brakes fitted on the Mojo HD, have been looking forward to these! HUGE increase in braking power compared to the old SLX brakes (of a couple of years ago), the 2012 XT brakes definitely require a gentle one finger touch else your face will be scraping along the trail before you know it. Dropped down from a 180mm rotor to 160mm on the front. 160mm on the rear. (more…)
XTR Trail Pedals
Another dream upgrade to the hippie mobile are Shimano XTR Trail pedals. They sure are mighty purdy, beautifully made, the click-in and release action is sweet, as is the extra support. Now the only thing to do is… plough them into a rock or two! (more…)
Rockshox Reverb Seatpost
Oh yeah baby — Thanks to the guys at The Bike Vault the hippie is now on Reverb, one of my Mojo HD dream upgrades… wucka, wucka, wucka, wucka! (more…)
Dreamin Upgrades
I guess not riding much lately can only lead to one thing… spending too much time online watching bike videos and reading about bike stuff, which leads to obsessing about upgrades! (more…)
