    1993 Wicked lite headset

    Yikes on the spikes! Running panaracers. Front is a new 2.1 dart, rear an NOS smoke lite 1.9. They work great on the new england trails. My rims are worn but true and no spoke "waves" but are 20+ years and would be fun to switch them out. What color/year is your WL

    1993 Wicked lite headset

    I was thinking the DX is cool and made very well. It was shimano's weird offering of a heavier and more durable XT. (this was pre XTR). Yes on the wheels...I have a nukeproof front hub with FIR rim, and xtr rear hub with a bontrager assymetrical rim replacement. Might replace the rims to...

    1993 Wicked lite headset

    Looking to switch out my original Shimano DX headset on my 1993 Wicked Lite. Its working perfect but always wanted a Chris King. I remember the head tube as a straight 1" diameter. Running a threaded control tech stem with Rock Shox Judy XC all original equipment. Any thoughts?

    Another Wicked Lite (1993)

    I put the shock on within a year of buying...did not get the long travel manitu or Judy Sl for the geometry and weight. repacked/tuned the Judy XC a few years back and it gives 2" travel max but fun. The frame-set did not come with a "box fork" from cambridge but a unicrown (matching paint)

    The color is Leslie Purple, original, named for a woman/rider that worked in the Cambridge shop.

    A meme of particular relevance to Fat fans.

    YES! with no disc brakes tubed wheel-sets and chain suck awesomeness. In any weather we rode from march thru december. And walking or carrying your ride was not a weakness it just was...sometimes for miles. Often ride out for tools and back to the stranded, depending, he he he.

    Wicked Lite serial # and paint color

    Bought my Wicked Lite in late 1993 from a local shop in Western MA. It was built up with a LX/DX group and took it on a test ride, remember that feeling of "wow this thing hooks up and is faster then the rider". Decided to upgrade the "shelf build" with some parts from the shop and special...
