What do you ride (type of terrain)? What's the intended use for your new bike?
I currently ride mostly bikeparks and slopeduro. I am planning to convert my Knolly Chilcotin to a full mullet pedal rig once I have a full DH bike.
What model and colour?
Chilcotin 155 green/fade
How tall are you? What size frame did you get? How does it fit you?
I'm 182cm (6ft) and ride a medium/S3 frame- it fits me perfectly. I've been riding BMX my whole life, so I wanted a bike that feels super playful and fun.
Why did you choose this model of bike?
I chose the Knolly Chilcotin 155 medium/S3 set up as mullet.
What's your full bike spec?
-
NS Billet 50mm Stem
-
Title 50mm rise handlebar, (35 clamp)
-
Pivotal seatpost with pivotal BMX seat.
-
Hope Cranks 165mm
-
Currently 32t chainring. Might swap to 34t while I'm still on singlespeed setup.
-
14t rear singlespeed sprocket
What other custom touches did you do?
-
Running Maxxis DHF + DHR, always DH casing!
-
Always loved Odi grips so this time I chose Odi Vans 2.1 grips
-
Hope Tech V4 keeps me from going to fast. Easy to setup, easy to bleed, pads last long, just easy.
What do you love about your new bike?
I love how plush and playful the Chilcotin 155 feels. I run higher air pressure, which makes it perfect for jumps. The bike was easy to adapt to and I felt totally comfortable after just one day—this bike just makes you want to ride faster!
