Hey Ben will these models come stock with 650b, or will there be a choice when ordering? Also, will the frame-only option be available in USA this year?
That's pretty weak. So much for overbuilt pivots and rubber bumpstop marketing babble. Can the Zee resist the high speed screw chewing up the shoulder?
I'm going to run a 40t ring up front a ring or two down on the cassette.
I just had the new saint derailleur installed on my bike last week. While it shifted great and made little slapping noise in the parking lot, it barely held up to one day at Northstar. I ran it most of the day in the highest gear and clutch on. First run down, my cable snapped. I've read...
I've been riding a gambler 30 large with some swapped out parts for a little bit and my first impression, as well as a few riding homies, is that it rides like a cadillac. I'm running the stock van r with a 350 spring for now. It plows through gnar so well! I'm really looking forward to...
I meant 36t cog on the cassette. I have a 37t ring up front with no chain guide. I had a front derailleur collecting dust so I threw it on as a pseudo chainguide with my old x7 setup, but I'm not sure I actually need it anymore. I should take it off...
I too just got a zee derailleur and shifter for my hardtail with a 1x10 setup, and it is really nice. I came off of a short cage x7 setup, and the zee is noticeably smoother. I opened up the cover over the shadow plus and found out that the whole clutch mechanism slides off 2 cams on the...
I've only ridden loops beginning from the parking area on summit road and dropping into ridge/braile/sawpit. You're saying there's some cut trails down to Aptos from the top?
Hey all,
I'm really getting into riding braile and sawpit loops over at demo and I am looking for others to ride with. I've taken some of my buddies out there, but they aren't very strong riders... too much complaining :rofl:. I usually ride on Sunday mornings and if you're a regular there's a...
I already posted my Imp in your other hardtail thread. Imp's have 3 rear droppout positions adjusting the chainstay between 15.5-16.25-17 and still maintains a hardtail pedaling feel with a 180mm fork with very raked geometry yet somewhat steep headangle, even though it functions like a...
Just picked this imperial up, and threw my 66 eta and 2.8 michy / 823 tubeless dh wheel on for fun. I'm thinking about building up a tubeless front wheel for this bike. Perfect amount of squish to match the 66 :D.
My '07 1.5" steerer totem solo air works flawlessly. There's a little break-in period, but now it is quite plush and ramps up for big hits. There's a little click at the bottom of the stroke but an mtbr's review claims that it is the air cartridge seating. I keep my bike upside-down when it...
I just picked up a 2006 Marin quake AL7 spec'd with a 66 rc2 eta and dhx air (6.8" rear travel). I've read somewhere that the stock build weighs in at 36-37 so with the 66 it is still under 40. I love the pedal-ability of this bike as well as the awesome plushness for dh riding. Crank the...
