 Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2012 6:39 pm Post subject: Cube Attention 2010 (UPGRADED!) |
 |
|
As she is freshly clean and I've been on here for a good few months now, thought it was about time I posted a few pics of my current bike. 
2010 Attention 18", upgraded the forks from Suntour XCM's to Rock Shox Recon Silver TK in February. Also upgraded from stock pedals to Acid Red DMR V8's, the seat post to a Race Face XC and added Cube lock-on grips.
The tyres are coming to the end of their lives so think they'll be the next upgrade, would like a larger front rotor as well so they will be the next upgrades
Hope y'all like it 
Comments and suggestions good/bad welcome
Thanks for looking 
Pete

| bike looks nice mate. only thing id change are the ryde brakes but if they work then why change. at least its not covered in a load of bottle cages, mud guards, saddle bags, bar ends computers, toe clips, pumps on the frame and streamers on the bars like some lol. keep it simple and clean is my outlook. others will have a different opinion. get a ruck sack for all the crap we need to carry. i use a camalbak havoc and they are awesome. keeps the bike clear. |

Cheers! TBF, the Rydes have been high on my list of upgrades since day one, never been overly impressed with their stopping power. However, I ended up instead talking myself into a new bike instead, which I'm saving for
and same here, don't like a lot of clutter - in fact, I resent the light clips when I'm not actually using the lights. The bottle cage is actually there for the bottle of water I carry for the dog lol!

Yeah man, they certainly did. Feels like a completely different machine. I got them from here for the bargain price of £110. I highly recommend them

- Hope seat clamp
- Nukeproof Warhead laidback seatpost
- 180mm Hayes rotor on the front.
- Nukeproof headset spacer
Opinions as always, very welcome

Yeah it's gonna make a world of difference I think, went the shop on it before for like 5 mins, feels miles better already.
Still nowhere near as nice as your Fritzz though my dream bike that.
Hugely disappointed it's been axed from the 2013 range

| Nice looking bike mate. What do you think to the forks, have you given them much abuse? I've just recently upgraded to these from some crap Suntour ones. |

Cheers
Mate, the RS are boss, handled all the abuse I've thrown at them, so much plusher than the Suntours. Ok, I realise they're not the best but they've made riding the bike so much more pleasurable.
What do you think to them?

| Yeah I'm impressed with them too, alot smoother and just more of a positive feel overall. Took a couple of big hits but took it in their stride. Big test will be how they perform round dalby forest on sat!! 😃 |
