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
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...
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?

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)
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.
Nice! have a nuke-proof front hub on my 1993 WL. Still have the Judy XC...came with a unicrown...lost it 20 years ago. That was always a crazy stem, slingshot level!
This pic from Vermont last week. Got the NOS smoke lite comp 1.9 rear tire and panaracer dart 2.1 front installed. New xtr bottom pull front derailleur dialed in. Then needed to switch out my Real Comp brake levers for the original XTR setup...realign the Paul stop-levers with moon...
Hmm...mine is a 139W93...which according to IROBOT ex Fat employee from Boston is #139/wicked lite/19" frame/ 1993 build and my frame is "Leslie's Purple" named for an woman who rode and worked for them at the time, color is not part of the serial # i guess? thinking yours was made in NY in...
Haven't seen this color...sweet! Have a purple WL from that era. Any info on serial # trying to track my build date. Also have front suspension but still ride in new england so...repacked and get my 2" travel.
Nope on the fork...sigh...was in my parents garage and dad threw it out! any ideas on serial number "categories" year/model/color/#
what color is your WL
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...
