Everyone post there immaculately white bikes and components here!

Here's my mini DH1 sporting newly fitted rims to start off.

What do we think?

[Bigboy]

I think you need to get some custom white anodised fork legs and white sidewalls on your tyres! It's allwite though in a nice clean white sort of a way!

[bong69uk]

Lookin sweet man,what rims are they? so are we going to have a "whiteoff" me and you,a battle of the whitiest! lol 

[BenR]

you buckle the old rims in france?

[jlr01]

@ben, yep the dt 5.1D just wasn't man enough for pleney. i got them strait and roound but the tension was shite, they would have bent again.

@bong, they are an azonic outlaw wheelset. I could have got them with white hubs and spokes too but i think that would be too much!
Have you got a pic of yours so far?

[Yogi]

You might want to sort out that rear brake caliper or else your lovely white bike could be a funny shade of red and brown...!!!

[jlr01]

I had to take it off, i couldn't get the calliper outboard enough to get the rotor to sit central.
I took the adapter into work today and machined a bit off, I'll have another go at fitting it later. 

[jlr01]

I was fitting the brake and noticed this!

noooooooooooooooooooo!

[bong69uk]

aahhh dude,that sucks so badly!!! i take it your bike is still covered by warranty tho yeah?
those rims are nice,thats the ones im after too,let me know how you get on with them,what are the hubs like? does the rear make a nice sound?

[BenR]

couldnt see it in the txt pics but yup....thats a crack lol.

It seems that commy's have an issue with the welds generating stress risers.

[jlr01]

Bong, My mate has been running them on his patriot for a while now and they seem OK.
I was conviced after he crashed on whites level on Saturday, we had to go mountaineering to get the bike back but the wheel was straight and round! The front must have hit something as there was a snakebite.

You can swap the front to 20mm with just an Alan key and the rear only needs a couple of spanners to change to 12mm . It not too impressed with the sealing though, and they only have 3 pawls. They are nice and pro2 but a hope they certainly aren't!

I took the frame back to the shop today, the owners a good bloke so i trust it'll get sorted, looks like the meta will get a lot more use now!
