I really rated the electron pedals while I was wearing my fiveten freeriders but when I switched to vxi`s with the semi slick soles there was hardly any grip in the centre of the pedal.they`re still good,no nonsense pedals though.

The new rig arrived yesterday, came earlier than expected which was a bonus. the wife said nothing had come as I'd been asking all day whether my new helmet had been delivered. Opened the garage and a big box with Commencal on the side was in front of me! Couldn't wait to put the kids to bed so I could start to build it!
Here are some pictures of the bike, I can't describe how nice it looks in person, nice and bright!
Took me a while to get it built up but wasn't at all hard. the brake levers were very easy just took them off the bars and swapped them over, as Commencal said. Job done.
Just some tweaking to be done now to get the forks and shock setup to the correct sag e.t.c...But first I need a shock pump, the brake caliper needs centering. Apart from that all is good. rides brilliant and its way lighter than the fr6. I even got a free night light for the bike, I wasn't expecting that, its a nice bonus.
Anyway here are some pictures  Enjoy, you may need sunglasses to actually see the bike!

Nothing beats the feeling of a new bike arriving..
I would say I'll have the bird instead of the bike but she ain't blonde, I ain't interested.
Made up for you mate after the spot of bother you had.

Just the guy actually, what size allen key is it to unscrew the screw that holds the front brake hose on the fork lowers, it seems to be an in between my smallest and second smallest key... |

Is it normal for the qr levers to be easy to push in to lock and pull out to open? I've tightened up on the rear wheel but it still seems really easy to push and pull the lever? The front it's either really easy , or a quarter of s turn more and I can't push the lever in at all?
Puzzling to me...

On fox and rockshox there is an adjuster to get the tension just right with the leaver in the right position, no idea on zocchi, on the rear just tighten it up a quarter turn more, shouldn't be to easy |
