But, I destroyed them in no time as well. So they were fast! Somehow they climbed well on smooth flowy trails and somehow not bad on rocky stuff. The Happy Mediums were actually pretty cool, they hooked up in the corners due to the side knobs and rolled awesome because of the pimple tread down the middle. The front suspension is a Fox Float F100 RLT fork that still functions perfectly. The rear suspension is handled by a Fox Float RP3 that still holds air. The Slant 6's were kinda cool but not great at really anything.but I destroyed them really fast. The main frame is a Turner XCE in a size medium with an awesome copper color. Edit: They did not hook up well on climbing loose dirt and sand bad. Old school components including those brakes we all. These charges are the buyers responsibility. The Small Block 8's are great for a hybrid bike. This is a 2000 Era Turner XCE in a powder coated metallic blue ame size Small. 1999-2000 XCE I-Drive 2000 XCR-5000 1995-1996 Zaskar 2008 Zaskar Re-Issue 1996-1999 STS International Buyers Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. He sent me "next day shipped" six tires for free. With Rx Tune on Rockhopper, the SR Suntour XCE brings size-specific. They had a Rep contact me and we talked and after I told him the type of riding I do he was upset that those were the giveaway tires at a race event. The Frog 73 offers total independence, with wide tyres and a sturdy frame it is. So I contacted Kenda and told them their tires suck! Every day I would go in the shop and again they would be flat (Both of them!) I messed with those hateful things for hours and hours. So I put them on my bike tubeless and they would not seal. I won a set of Kenda Tires at a US Cup up at Big Bear two years ago. The rest is simply marketing bull to get us to spend money.To be honest I'm not much of a Kenda fan in general. Suspension systems have been tweaked to be more efficient. If you swapped that frame for a Turner XCE, ligter tyres maybe and wheels youd be getting towards 24lbs (although i would say a little over with 10 year. As perhaps was indexed shifting, and clipless/SPD pedals (refinement of ski-boot tech). V-brakes were a significant development in pedal cycle technology. In fact I often think I’d be quite happy with XT thumbshifters, over the ‘cost loads use it for 18 months chuck it away’ overpriced tat we now have to endure. TBH, that’s not ‘improved’ over the years, along with technology.
How I judge things is by my level of enjoyment I get from MTBing. I’ve had SqT BBs last me 10 years or more… HT2 type stuff doesn’t seem to be a particularly good evolution from SqT. These hold my hydraulic brake lines to the older cable stops on my Turner XCE.

CNC machined 6061 aluminum Black anodized finish Attaches to frame with (2) M4x8 Flat Head Screws Fasteners not included Replaces Turner part XCDH. My personal observation of the ‘evolution’ of cycle technology, is that parts wear out quicker now, which supports the ‘marketing shite’ comment above. Suspension designs aren’t exactly rocket science! It’s just about fine-tuning stuff to work well for a lightweight pedal vehicle, so hardly ‘light years of difference’! 😀 Most ‘MTB’ technology is in fact motorbike technology scaled down to suit a pedal bicycle. MTB “technology” such as it is hasn’t moved a billion miles since the 90s. There’s a fair amount more marketing shite about these days and apparently even more mugs to hoover it up.
