hey monkeys,
i need some heads up on the new 2006 Specialized SX trail FRAME
and I'm planning to put things together as the time goes along, what should i lookout for in terms of compatibility for components, like drivetrain, wheels, disc mounts, etc.

 

[SXtrailrider]

ask punkassean he set mine up, He has the wires and cables perfectly set up, everything looks so perfectly placed.

Sean built up this guys bike like the pros do, but before they even had the idea

You can't get the complete SX Trail? The complete bike already has a sweet build up. Plus, you won't have to wait all kinds for parts to arrive, and you can spend the extra money on a cool riding trip.

^^ really. Why not take the stock build? Its pretty damm great out of the box.

I'd grab a 06 Sxtrail 1 and change the following.

- ditch the stock pedals, get what ever you like.

- Put on a set of ODI lock on grips, I like the rogue's my self.

- Change the stock headset to a RaceFace Diablos

- Thompson Stem and post if you wan to spend a few bucks on pimp'n

- Grab a Titec El Nore sadle.

Thoes are the only changes I'm making to my SXT other then maby getting a ti coil down the road.

I just ordered my sxt II. You already get a sick build right outta the box. why not do that and save some money? the only thing i'm going to change is a king HS, lock ons, and tires.

 

[clandestine]

It's $4600 CAD for stock, $2000 for frame, any ideas where I can buy for cheaper? I don't mind ordering.

Any cheap places in the Vancouver, for those who are local?
The price above was dizzycycles.

 

[sneakysnake]

what build does it have on it for 4600? just curious, and i'm to lazy to look it up myself

My gf just bought a Enduro (sx frame) and did the exact same thing.
New grips, pedals, seat, King HS, bars and stem.

The bike came with a Fox 36 and DHX-5 air and juicy 7's. Tough to beat for $2700

Pretty similar to what I did...but the stock pedals kick arse. Best flattys I have had yet.

Are they the same geometry ? I think the trail is slacker than standard Enduro geometry.

stock, lol.

 

[Bicyclist]

Well if you're set on building it up, I'd do:

-stock post
-King HS
-TruVativ stem
-Easton bars
-Holzfeller cranks
-TruVativ BB
-Shimano shifting (saint shifter, 105 derailleur, Dura-ace chain, Ultegra cassette)
-Fox 36R Vanilla
-Mavic 721s on Hope hubs

I run Dura-ace on all of my bikes, mainly because they are all race bikes but another reason is because they are so lightweight and still take the same abuse that mtn cassettes do.

True the ones on the SXTII are rad but on the SXTI they blow, well at least I think so.

 

[clandestine]

Do you have a site or contact where I can order just a frame of the SX Trail II?

I'm not a pansy so I can pedal the hard gears up a hill and enjoy the benefits of tighter gear spacing.

And the Syncros is fine. I'm a cheap bastard so I wouldn't pay to upgrade it.
