It's not finished, only a test build to see the geometry. Missing parts are the Gustav M for the rear wheel, the front spacer between frame and stem and the whole SRAM x9 group. Front tire will be also a 2.35" Kenda Nevegal. What do you think of my build?

Looks like a solid build but its a little too slack looking for my tastes. I live the build, but I'd have spent a little extra cash and gotten an 06 or 07 66, they're a little shorter.

I dig the color !!

id change the fork if you can to lower the front end a bit although an e13 zero stack headset arangement would be a cheaper alternative. Other than that its sweet

Your front tire is too small & 6" rear rotor too IMO ! Although SLACK IS GOOD my V10 i used to have was almost TOO slack when you sat on that thing,it had a 2005 66RC(taller than the 06 66RC)..
I love your Morewood bike & would be my very first choice if i had the $$..I need to hook up with one somehow & take that baby on a roadtrip to Whistler.

That's very slack.

what's the point of this bike? single crown fork, no chain tensioner.

V10 trail bike?

seems pretty comical to me. wouldn't a VP-Free or Nomad be better if you're into SCB rigs and you want no chain tensioner and a single crown fork?

 

[ATOMICFIREBALL]

Yeah, that was a ghetto tensioner(upper roller only crap) that day for sure, i had just built it up & wanted to ride. It was horrible at Windrock riding with profro from the top trail because my chain kept coming off. So i took it off & threw it in my camelpack . Actually i didn't need to pedal the rest of the way down from the top anyways.
Hey, that V10 pedeled like a friggin hardtail, & did trail ride it a few times but the HA was too slack for that by far.

Anyways i SOLD it & it was fun for a while.....
I had to run a 66RC because the frame was too small.My knees hit the DC fork real bad. I'm Steve Peats size..

@ATOMICFIREBALL:

my front tire is a standard 26" mavic ex 721 on a specialized stout hub, why should this be too small?

and u can test it, hit the next plane to stuttgart, germany

The kenda 2.35 is the same size as a Maxxis 2.5. Its not small. Heck its not that much smaller than the 2.5 Nevegal.

check my pic of the 2.35 vs the 2.5.

i should have gotten a shova lt instead of my yeti...they look better imo, but i havn't ridden one, and i still love my yeti. change out the fork and the bike will be fine, the 05 66 is soooooo damn tall. something like a 66 SL from 06 would be great, but if you can get one of the new rockshox domain or totem forks, jump on that.

 

[SteezyWeezy]

sick bike fore sure, but like everyone else, that fork is too tall, try the e13 zero stack as mentioned first though

Nice ride!

 

[sunny]

Very nice. I raced the Shova (shorter travel, not LT) on sport DH courses the year before last and loved it! They're just good bikes. Enjoy!
