So what I'm going to do is I'm going to rebuild an old downhill bike. I have a bike called Alhar. It was from 2008. It's a gearbox bike, one of the junior worlds. Not to me on it, but with some deals. It was made by some madman who disappeared off the face of their people's money. I'm cutting mine at the time, which was an ideal. It's got a gearbox, quite slack for its age. And I'm just going to see how the old build can be a new modern build, with new parts, better suspension. See if it actually makes a difference or if you just leave the old stuff in the past. It still rides great, although it's quite short now compared to some of the modern bikes, in terms of angles. It's actually kind of similar, and it just needs some de-fast on it. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to, I'm kind of making, taking it from old to new. I'm going to do some time runs on it in the original spec, which has been hanging up in my garage for quite a long time. And then I'm going to give it a full makeover, new forks, new shock, new everything, pretty much, tie bolts throughout. A full finishing kit from boat, brakes, carbon wheels, some nice new Mitchell and tires. And we're going to see if, spending a bit of money on it, and making it a bit more modern with some new modern tech on it, see if it makes it faster. So, bikes looking pretty good, can tell that it's not really been fixing all the time. I just need to get it to a rideable state now, so I'll just refit some parts, just shaking some bearings, and just giving it a one-tower. Just trim these. I need to put the kit back on because it doesn't actually fit without this. So I need to put this on. Just screw that one back on, he sees, and just put it right up. So just mounting the shock then I'm putting the old shock mounts back in, they were mindless in my garage. So putting it in two dog bones, connect together for the shock there. On an each side, so just bolt in, just to also tighten the figure out. What bolts were working? This is a hard knee, strips up, and you don't know what you're doing. Just almost do that there. So that's like thin, like that there. So what is it got in my own thread? So that's the securement nut for that axle. Just screws on and I'm going to thread. Just making that reach out. Last time I rode this, this plunger called snapped, and I absolutely ruined myself. 2008 will have the DHV M9. The bike is a high pivot with a linkage driven shock and it's also got flex days, which you have to put on your attention. So technically the shocks kind of always under a better pressure, so it's not always just on and off. It kind of never feels like your bottom and out on the bike. So it's always got a wee bit more even when the shocks, it's full travel. Underneath here is the gear box of the bike. It's a roll off hub that's modified slightly to make it fit. And the cam tensioners are for it to get the chain set up kind of running smoothly. The roll off hub itself is on a grip shift, which even then it sounded kind of backwards because every day was using trigger shifts. But once you get your status actually really good, another thing that's a bonus of it is that you don't need to be pedalling to shift. You can shift under offload, so in shift through one of the 14 years that it's got. So the bike's probably seen better days in terms of the components that's on it, but we're going to take it up the hill and see how it rides and get a bench mark on it. This is my test rider for one minute track. It's quite handy on a bike. Quite handy in a car. Not bad in a motorbike, but he doesn't see much, that's certainly a good thing. So we're finished for the day. Reports are in, the bike actually rides quite well. The suspension is pretty decent, but the front brake needs some work, pads are glazed, the disc snackered, the front tires perished, so that wasn't looking up very well, but liking the fastness of the furies, I'm going to ship in some overnight parts from Japan. So tune in in the next episode, we'll take this old unique downhill bike and make it a proper bike!
