At least thats what Pochtecatl told me. Hell it doesn't make sense on a trail bike either. I have ripped 2 XTs off in a matter of 2 weeks. That was last year. One broke in half and ruined a rear XTR wheel. The other I was able to bend back and use. I still use it now.

I really wanted to get some better components, but I also had to buy two bikes. One for me, and one for my wife. She got a Hardrock Sport. So, I compromised. If I break stuff, I will replace it with nicer stuff.

I'm the last person on these forums that will try to start a flame war, especially in a thread where people show off there sweet rides. I already worked it out with the last guy, and everything was cool. So what's this now all about?

This is an '04. It shouldn't have a front brake either according to the specs on the site. Did yours came with a front brake?

Well, mine did I must say, the bike looks much better dirty and, well, 'used'.
Are you still using the chain tensioner?

the tentioner can be adjusted side to side, but the loudest click is from the pins (expecially the master link) hitting the sides, eventiually it digs grooves into the sides and most of the noise goes away

No they havent. The 04 and 05 bikes are very similar.

The seat was the first thing to go on that one. I use it as a commuter / in town cruiser these days as it's trail duties have been taken over by my Rockhopper

Now if I only had pictures of my old 1988 Specialized HardRock Sport, you'd see an even more drastic difference.
