New Bike Day

Every 2 years or so, my coaching bike is sold and replaced with something newer and hopefully better, thanks to an ongoing partnership with BoutiqueMTB and Yeti Cycles.

So earlier this month, my 2018 Yeti SB5.5 was put on sell on Blocket and sold, paid for and collected a few hours later.

Now after a 2 loooong weeks of waiting, my new SB130 TLR AXS has arrived and need some TLC to become trai worthy, since I bypass the shop, and will be building it myself so to change a few things particular to my personal preference …

So if you want to know what it takes to build a high end full suspension bike, stick around.

First we need to unpack…

Then comes the dead full moment when I realised that once again, I will be passing the next 3 hours installing an Invisframe kit.

This is by far the best frame and most discrete frame protection on the market, but, as a wet install, it takes a clean room, good lightning, clean hands, soapy water in a pray bottle, rubbing alcohol, a squeeze, and a mountain of patience.

And I am not know for the later…

So after 3 hours of that, I left the frame alone to rest to make sure the glue was 100% set and took my trail bime for a lovely ride on Bogesund beautifull trail with a friend…

And i needed that!

So cone back tomorrow. As tomorrow, we finality build it!
