i think i know were you got these from. rutlandcycling? on good olde ebay? im considerind getting some for my usb and lowering them to 80mm so they should be like super stiff. but my main concern is weather they would hold up on the streets
this bike is fucking amazing, i hate you sooooo much haha, jk but man props on building such a rad bike, its like a piece of art u could put in a museium lol
They are amazing to jump. And the suspension platform does ride well on DH, but I don't think it's worth having a frame like this is DH is want you wan to be doing on it.
yeah wicked, didnt make my self clear atall there i dont want to ride dh atall but would like to ride it in the woods to do everything. So seems pretty good frame, what travel are you running up front?
Going to get a lighter chain, just got this one as a temp. And maybe an Avid Elixer CR as the lever on this Shimano is quite big and almost hits the top tube.
150mm and they come with 2 20mm spacers in the box, so you'll still have to get a All Travel Spacer kit to get it lower. It's also very easy to lower, I thought it would be pretty hard but it wasn't.
Because its light like an XC race fork, and still strong like an All Mountain fork - Im guessing. Ive experimented with 80mm reba SL forks before - very light and nicely stiff, but not as strong as revelations.
Yep pretty much ahah. It only weighs 3.85lbs and is actually really stiff, as I've got a load of extra lapping stanchions and the fork has the power bulges, 20mm axle and a fairly beefy looking crown.
Yeh i know bud, but i mean does he still loose the chain even with the tensioner, as i'm looking to run a similar set up and want to know how reliable it is.
The weather has sucked so far this winter, it's rained a least once everyday since like octobar, so my trails are always soaking, it's so hard to get out and ride at the moment which sucks, plus I'm at collage for most of the day and it's dark when I get home.
I'm npt going to change the tyres, they're too good; I'll lose it easliy enough.
Ah right, but to be honest I've never found myself being very heavy on tire wear.
I can lose that weight in the chain as the one I've got at the moment is monstrously heavy. I'm going to change the seat as well, something that's shorter then my current one. I'll probably get a Odyssey Senior 2.
