• Alpine Blue Pig

    Blue Pig at Flow MTB - 18in Orange SkwoshGuy at FlowMTB is running a Blue Pig this season.

    Here it is in it’s “Big Mountain” build.

    Sram X9 gear bits
    Juicy 7 Rear brake (185mm)
    Formula ‘The One’ front brake (200mm)
    Fox 36VanR 160mm forks
    Truvativ BB and Crankset
    WTB post and saddle
    Pro2 Hubs – with a 321 Rim on the rear and a DT5.1 on the front.

    Minion 2.5 dual ply front tyre and a Larson TT dual ply commuter tyre on the rear.

    And the most important bits (if you get this wrong, Brant will come and hit you with sticks, apparently)
    50mm Raceface stem
    745mm Sunline V1 Bars

    Guy says:- “I’ve had the bike for a few weeks – firstly with Rockshox pikes on there but swapped them out for the 36′s to see how it handles a bigger fork. The verdict? very well indeed.

    I took it on our 2 day refuge trip this week, with some properly slow technical riding and it excelled itself. I was also suprised at how not beaten up I was – must be those twangy seat stays!”
