love it mate... got the same bike and im slowly copying your upgrade list... :-)

Cheers dude.
Since that picture I have added a Goodridge cable kit and maxxis high rollers DH 2.35 60a back, 2.5 42a super tacky front and an SRAM X7 rear derailer. its improved the shifting, and the handling is much better with the new tyres. which means more confidence, and faster more adventurous trails. :-)

10 cos its a goose and there the way forward!
Dolbe replied... on 3 May 2010
cheers dude, yes mongoose is the way forward. more and more mongoose bmx riders are moving up into mongoose mountain bikes. I started with an 81 supergoose bmx, the progression is natural.

looks lush really like the colour
Dolbe replied... on 25 April 2010
true, the only year the teocali got 150mm rear travel. It was 145mm in 07 and in 09/10 it is 145mm travel.

2008 the best year for mongoose

nice bike but you wanna get rid of the shock boot cos they do more damage than good
Dolbe replied... on 10 April 2010
The shock boot gets cleaned after every ride to ensure no damage occurs. I have had the shock over a year and use the shock boot since i got it. she shock is still in pristine condition. I can understand if it was not cleaned it would turn into an abrasive boot. it has saved my shock from some serious mud over the last year so it cant be all that bad.

Dolbe said on 29 January 2010
still more upgrades to come soon. firstly hopefully a set of RS Lyriks (white of course) I am just getting conflicting reports whether the 08 teocali can take a 1.5" steerer if I remove the 1-1/8" reduced steerer and put a 1.5" headset instead then it would take the 1.5" Lyriks as they are cheaper than the 1-1/8 versions.
or go completely off the other way and go for the 2010 Rock Shox Revelation Team Dual Air Forks and save a bit of money in the process although i will be giving up the 35mm stanchions and some of the rigidity
