chrisllandre Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Have just fitted some shimano slx hydraulic brakes to a 2015 16.0R. Well worth the purchase. When your buying try to get a 1000mm left hand lever. This will fit perfect on the back. Shortening the front pipe is then simple and can be done without the need to fully bleed them if your careful. Chain reaction cycles and bike-discount.de are about the cheapest. Also fitted a boost battery lithium battery. Easy to fit with all connectors and 7.2 kg lighter.

scottwitting Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Good upgrades! Also swapped brakes on my lads 16R. Went for Clarkes Skeletal, couldn't stomach the cost of Hope! Shimano are very good though. Also gone down the Lipo route, the weight saving plus the way Lipo's maintain voltage at high current draw really makes the bike much more zippy! Just fitted one of these fatter rear tyres. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=201298453286&alt=web It does seem to give more grip! Think it's just the same as this which is a bit cheaper- http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141556969537&alt=web Great bikes, have fun!

chrisllandre Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 How does that tyre work in muddy conditions which is quite normal in Wales. Had seen them but couldn't find a review on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
