Well i've finally made a start on my girlfriend's BigHit build. We picked up the bike a few weeks ago and have slowly been collecting parts to get it powered up.
We went with an 8t HP Mac kit from Cell-Man (can't recommend him highly enough) in a 24" rim. We're also converting the front wheel to 24" to keep it looking normal and to lower the front end slightly for Mel. We've got a few parts on their way from CRC at the moment and the spec will be as follows:
8t Mac
12 fet controller - 45a
12s lipo, 10ah for now. Frame will be modified to house 15ah
Turnigy Watt Meter mounted flush in frame behind headtube
24" Alex rims fr &rr, 20mm front hub
2.7" Maxxis High Roller dual ply DH tyres + DH tubes
203mm fr, 180mm rr rotors
Shimano 4 pot XT fr and Deore rr callipers
8spd freewheel 32t-11t
Sram X9 twist shifter LH mounted
Sram X5 derailleur
Shimano XT cranks, 32t chain ring
Torque arms
RockShox Pike 454 140mm air fork
Manitou Swinger 4 way air shock - 190mm x 50mm
160mm rear travel
RaceFace Next SL carbon fibre riser bars
Sunline V1 AM 50mm stem
WTB Speed V Comp seat
Like my previous builds, i'll be cutting up the frame and housing the batteries inside the downtube.
I'll be designing the frame insert soon and start cutting up the frame shortly after. Mels keen to get the bike done and out riding so i'd better not stuff around too long!
