1. 1999 K2 Flying Monkey Frame
|
Stock frame. Very durable. The only problem is that the paint seems to chip
fairly easily. (Stock)
|
|
|
|
|
2. Noleen Chubby LT Front Shock
|
Very good front shock. Its a double crown style shock, so it has an extra
cool moto-style look. (Stock)
|
|
|
|
|
3. Noleen NB2-600 Rear Shock
|
This shock works very well. It has over 5" of travel, but it feels very
stiff when climbing and doesn't bounce around much. (Stock)
|
|
|
|
|
4. Front Wheel
|
The rim is a Rhyno Lite made by Sun Rims. (Stock)
The front tire is a 26 x 2.10 Kendo tire that came off a Motiv Vortex.
|

|
|
5. Magura HS22 Hydraulic Brakes
|
These babies have stopping power. They will put you over the handle bars and
lock up the rear tire well before they start to slip. Great brakes. (Stock)
|
|
|
|
|
6. SRAM PC59 Speed Chain
|
This chain has a powerlink that can be opened and closed as many times as
you want without a tool. The stock chain on the bike broke on
me so I replaced it with this.
|
|
|
|
|
7. Rear Wheel
|
The rear tire is a 26 x 2.00 Geax Hook 200 tire. These are very good tires. The
front one started to shred on me so I had to replace it with the
Kenda tire, its probably only a matter of time before this one
goes out as well. (Stock)

|
8. Serfas Performance RX Saddle
|
The saddle might look uncomfortable, but its actually very nice. The most
I've biked on this in one go is maybe 15 miles and it felt great.
|
|
|
|
|
9. K2 WPD-818 Clips
|
These work great for my first pair of clips. The shoe feels like it has a
little pit of lateral play, but that's okay.
|
|
|
|
|
10. Shimano Deore LX Shifters
|
There is very clean action with the shifting. When you shift,
the bike goes with no delay. (Stock)
|
|
|
|
|
11. Shimano Deore LX Drivetrain
|
The drivetrain on this bike is top notch. Practically no chain rattle when pedaling
on pavement. There is a little bit of chain slap when jumping or
on a bumpy road, but that's to be expected. (Stock)
