Trek Slash 8 - 650B 1
5/18/2015 3:14pm
No cables hanging around, except in the cockpit. Very clean build
Old, worn and very well used Defacto pedals. I've been running these bad-boys since they hit the market. Probably the best pedals I ever had. I already had a few of them, none failed, they have my trust!
Roval Wheels were the best bang for the buck I could find.
Custom Rasta Disc Brake Bolts
Smooth shifting thanks to teflon coated cables, extra slippery grease and custom dust stoppers
A lockout shock is mandatory in this bike, the Monarch R holds well descents, but lacks climbing abilities.
Short stems = extra handling = lots of fun!
Extra range with the american bred 42T ring.
Adjustable geo, but, I don't think I 'll be playing with that, the bike feels amazing the way it is.
Fatties anyone?
DT Swiss Internals are a fail proof option.
Wolf Tooth retainer ring dismiss the use of a chain guide.
No cables hanging around, except in the cockpit. Very clean build

Additional Info
Weight: Not too shabby!
I didn't have the chance to weight it yet since my scale is not working properly, but I reckon it is somewhere around 28lbs (13kg). Once I weigh it I'll update this info.
The bike itself rides amazingly, going downhill it is a beast. However pedal bob is noticed when pedalling, so, for a better climbing experience a rear shock with some sort of lockout or propedal is a must. Probably the next upgrade, very likely to be a CCDB CS.
