    650b coming sooner than we think?

    Couldnt agree more. I've pretty much written off the bike industry. When an overseas made short travel bicycle costs about the same as a 2 yr old 450 MX'er. Or a DH rig cost the same as a brand new 450. Fvck you. I'll also have support for that 450 for 20 years.

    Cutting Trails for DH Part 2

    No doubt. Looks like an El Cheapo Poulan. Probably wasnt sharp to begin with.

    Evil D.O.C. Too much fork?

    Ride it and see what YOU think. I ride a custom hardtail with a dual crown fork. People give me weird looks, but it rides like a champ, and once people take it for a run, they are usually swayed.

    32 or 36 spokes for rear wheel

    I dont think 36h is going anywhere, but also think with a good builder 32h is all you will ever need. I've had all but one of my hardtails(dh/fr) running 32h rear and have never had a problem, aside from braking rims on rocks right at the bead. No amount of spokes would of stopped that.

    Time to build my own DH frame

    Just a little update: Main frame is done. Will start on the swinger Tuesday. Changed up my geometry a little. Added a few other unconventional features. Should have it all done by next weekend.

    anyone remember much about shiver internals?

    Thanks! I was starting to think it was made to not be serviced, but wanted to make sure.

    anyone remember much about shiver internals?

    My buddy wants me to lower his shiver. I tore it down, but cant figure out how to open up the cartridge. I need to get into it to machine a top out spacer. Anyone remember how to open it up?

    Time to build my own DH frame

    I can fillet braze, but it takes so much time, it's not really worth it for me on experimental frames. There's nothing like a brazed frame! I really wanna do a fillet brazed stainless steel hardtail chopper frame then polish it all out.

    Time to build my own DH frame

    Biggest reason, is the ease of manufacturing for me. Machined rear and welded steel front, will be fastest and easiest for me. I actually have a buddy that does vinyl and decals and thought about having him make me some rediculous stickers to put on it. "moar shimz" on the swinger and "looks...

    Never tried their cycling gear but have worn Dianese leathers for years, and their quality is top notch.

    Time to build my own DH frame

    Full on German hahaha! Thats funny because its true on multiple levels. Im half German btw. The swinger is gonna be machined from solid 7075, so thats why heat treating wont be necessary. Not too sure on the weight, It'll probably be close. I prefer machining over welding, so thats a big factor...

    Time to build my own DH frame

    Yup. I own enough machine tools to machine everything I will need. Also, with aluminum, when you weld it you lose a lot of strength, from losing its temper. It can be re-heat treated but its something i dont wanna deal with right now. Plus, the benefit of steel is its compliance, and I think...
