Sounds like a good bet for what I want - not looking to replace my MTB but a lot of the forest tracks in Chch are pretty tame and boring on the MTB after a while. However the upside is they are easy to access for a ride and after work. So the <BR/>Singlecross could make a refreshing change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118330732070089587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150092911254178432.post-84652072771652545972008-09-29T23:27:00.000-07:002008-09-29T23:27:00.000-07:00The cable hanger we had at the shop, it's a Tektro...The cable hanger we had at the shop, it's a Tektro, shouldn't be hard to find one.<BR/><BR/>It's a fun bike to ride singletrack on, but I wouldn't want it as my primary bike for that. Jumps? Na, wouldn't risk it. I rode it at the NZSS champs in Vegas, it was 40km over all sorts of singletrack, and it was cool, but I was beaten and broken afterwards. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line, it's not a mountain bike! But it is very cool.brettokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365986594916002921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150092911254178432.post-29241895311230633612008-09-29T20:10:00.000-07:002008-09-29T20:10:00.000-07:00BTW - where did you get the fork mounted cable han...BTW - where did you get the fork mounted cable hanger?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118330732070089587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150092911254178432.post-45859848627180695332008-09-29T20:08:00.000-07:002008-09-29T20:08:00.000-07:00I've got a 2008 Tricross Double Comp.

I replaced them with Shimano BR550s and now there is some real stopping power and the Shimano parts are very well finished.<BR/><BR/>I see Specialized have spec'd Tektro v-brakes on all Tricross models for 2009.<BR/><BR/>How good is a Singlecross for dirt/singletrack riding with the odd jump/juder/bump?
