Razors Edge ★ Posted September 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted September 12, 2019 Neat. I think my commuter - a slightly younger bike than his - would also do fine if prepped with new rubber and some TLC. Maybe a similar tweak to see if braking could be improved. "The build came with a Shimano M730 groupset and I kept most of it except for the brakes which were replaced with the more easily adjustable Tektro CR710s.

jdc2000 Posted September 13, 2019 Share #3 Posted September 13, 2019 I have an MB-2 that I used in quite a few races. Rode it again this year on the Ashton - Tetonia trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old Stumpjumper had Suntour XC pro. I think I still have the shifters and brakes in a box. Nice bike. Pretty cool you are still riding it.
