New Hoops for the SnakeDriver

Picked up some Velocity P35s laced to SRAM disc hubs from bullitboyz about a week or so ago and mounted them up to an Ardent 2.25 in back and Rampage 2.35 in front and installed them on the SnakeDriver.

I think these are the widest rims I've owned - pretty wild. I hope they hold up well. Relatively light for how wide they are. So far I'm diggin the SRAM hubs too.

I also went with some Fleegle bars up front paired up with and old Race Face stem I got during the summer. Pretty comfy cockpit set up with this configuration.

Pretty sweet, what are you using for a cassette?

That's a cobbled together SS spacer "kit" using all sorts of stuff temporarily. I gotta get another set or convert my other bike to 1x9 to use my good SS spacer kit on this one.

I used to have the same grips and had them pointed differently - but they were on Mary bars - with the fleegles they feel good as I've got them now. Also these are the smaller version of those Ergons and they suit my hands much better.

The shape of the Ardent is really changed - I hope to make it faster rolling actually, and the Rampage shapes out quite nicely on the P35 rims as a front tire.

With this particular frame the 2.25 is about as wide as I can go really. I'd like to try something different in back as well just to see. I never found the Rampage to be a great rear tire........good traction, but kinds slow "feeling" as a rear tire for me.

going to try to leave this thing alone for a long while. Hopefully I can do it!

I'll let you know shortly Toddre!

Rides good!

Lookin good as well Kris!

Maybe it is camera angle - or maybe you tweaked the geometry numbers, or maybe it is your custom fork - but your current iteration of the SD looks a lot slacker at the HT (visually) than SD.1 does.

Did you make some Tweaks?

That's probably it
