First trip of the year

[konfucius]

+5 degrees and sun, the snow is melting away, time for the first trip of the year!

Nice sunny roads.

Suddenly a pole in the middle of the road!

Finally, the snow is melting away!

The bike.

Looks like a Hagon shock

 

[konfucius]

Yes its a Hagon shock, I put the preload adjuster on the other side, the only place I could find to fit it...

Can somebody tell me more about the Hagon shock. I googled their website but couldn't find much

 

[Big Den]

That's a cool setup
Hagon are based in Essex and a std shock is about £265 remote preload extra, they will set shock spring etc based on your weight etc. Good value.

Beautiful place to ride....

Bike and surroundings look just about perfect,

England too had had its first sunny days.

Just out of interest noticed that screen looks pretty tasty, what make is it, cant make out the label?

have a great day.

The Hagon shock is £295 + £125 for preload adjuster (thats what I paid anyway) and shipping to Sweden was £29.50
From Hagon: "The monoshock part number for the G650X '07 onwards ( WB1017 frame prefix ) is M60045 + you require a MHA001 remote preload adjuster."
Seems to work very well and is much easier to adjust than the airshock.


And the screen is from Proscreen, site in Spanish

And Google translated to English

Price €80 and works fine to keep most of the crud away from the instrumentation, gps and the front of me...

Hi
Whats the screen like for wind protection?
cheers

What tyre are you running?

I see it is a Mitas, but can't see what the name is.

Thanks,

Matt.

C-02 rear and C-17 front. There great offroad and on gravel and is usable on tarmac, did a 200km trip on tarmac to and from a rally this weekend and I'm still alive...

Done over 2000km trip on Mitas C02/C17 set last year - pretty good off-road (except wet grass) but be extra cautious on wet tarmac

Well it keeps some of the air away from the chest, but not from you head, but it makes a big difference if you drive into the wind, it makes it less tiresome.

Thanks for the information, but now I am more confused.......I tried to search for the C-02 and can't find it in either the 130 or 140.......??

Where do you guys get your tyres?

 

[MTBiker]

I have C02 120/90/18 and C-17 90/90/21

The 120 is about as wide as normal 140, so the 120 is what you should get.
