The BikeThis is where I can rant on about my fantastic bike, a K2 (Proflex) 5500c frame with Smartshock, Pace Proclass forks and mostly XT gruppo. Most recent spec incarnation is listed below, or just click on area of interest on the picture right. Oh, and the mags have reviewed K2's version of my bike, read what they say here |
 |
| Frame | K2 Proflex 5500c with Smartshock | Way past cool, once I'd got it dialed in, there was no looking back! Now with Ti spring and no smartshock |
| Fork | Pace MXCD Proclass | 90mm of well smooth travel - head and shoulders above my old RS Judy SL's |
| Headset | Orbit XLII | Its a headset |
| Stem | ControlTech 120mm 15degree rise | Nice - and not too overpriced like Syncros |
| Handlebars | Club Roost Go Fast Comp II Riser | Risers are cool - Just go FAST! |
| Grips | Yeti | Nice 'n' comfy |
| Seatpin | Dean Aluminium | What I could get - some hate the colours, but it's way strong with 'Mercedes' style ribs internally |
| Sadddle | Flite Kelvar | Comfy, lite and tuff (good spelling huh?) |
| Gear shifters | Shimano XT | Workhorse standard |
| Front Mech | XT | ditto |
| Rear Mech | XT | ditto |
| Chainset | XT | 4 arm - looking good! |
| Pedals | New Shimano Platform types with alloy cages | Not sure about the bearings quality... |
| Chain | Sachs PC91 | Way cool with slotted links, but I'm not sure of its long term durability with the full sus frame |
| Bottom Bracket | XT | Standard stuff |
| Wheels | Mavic Crossmax | Yum! |
| Tyres - Front | Specialized Team Control 2.0 Kevlar | Best front tyre I've ever used |
| - Rear | Specialized Team Master 1.95 Kevlar | Still awaiting 'best rear tyre I've ever used' |
| Cassette | XT | Standard stuff |
