My bike now

My bike now is 2012 Yeti SB 66.
I have been riding on this frame since Feb. 2012 so it is 9 months used. Peddling is very efficient on rough uphills. Descending likes stick on the road and super fast.

Bearings are used in the many pivots. I remove the seal of the bearings and put grease in twice a month. The suspension is very active.
I also use a Stan's No Tube sealant and the wheels are rolling fast on pavement and trails.

Since changing the front folk, the fork travels exactly 150mm. I doubted a Trek DRCV fork because its construction is complicated but it moves into mid stroke smoothly and the tapered steerer is also stiff.
