Lightest way I could figure out to support the dropout and also fit a 2.4 tire! That bike is a BLAST to ride BTW. Mine has a Nixon Platinum and FSA Mega EXO cranks. I love riding that bike, all of the bikes in thsi line just beg you to go fast. Its a good feeling.Acadian said:
are you moving in with Gavin? you in the bay area yet?ohio said:
ah okay...thanks for the clarification. Those Mk III sure look nice - heck they all look nice!! Definitely a nice line of bikes...dw said:
That is a really nice complement. I have always thought Santa Cruz bikes are good looking rigs. When you look at the bikes side by side they dont look very similar IMO. I think both lines have some nice attention to detail. I tried to leave no detail to the imagination with the new bikes. The 05 Iron Horse line is built in several factories. Some in the USA, some in Taiwan.davod said:

Man, first the hardtail sanctions, now this...and we thought Paul Hamm had it tough...dante said:problem with SC forks on a DH bike is that they're not sanctioned by NORBA... Sanjay had to return his medal and his $5000 check from the Mt Snow national after some riders complained that he'd won on the Sunday Proto with a Breakout+. With all the evidence from the photos, the officials didn't really have any other options... Focking NORBA.

Ha, if you are going to try to fool somebody with a fake story, hows about leaving out the part about getting a $5000 check for winning semi-pro.dante said:problem with SC forks on a DH bike is that they're not sanctioned by NORBA...

I thought that the $5k comment would convey the sarcasm. I think that the actual prize was an "I won semi-pro at Mt Snow and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" and a set of BMX V-Brake pads.Instigator said:Maybe I should give you my name
Where did you dig up that old post? Its a rhetorical question, I dont care.Jm_ said:well, ska todd was telling us how great of a race fork it was as well, im not just trying to pin this on one guy, but seriously, how much was it rammed down our throats that the slider+ would make a great DH fork, was stiff, etc..why wouldn't it get put on the 2004 bike?
So that quote definitely is building up the 1.5, by logic you could say that the breakout+ is a "hucker fork".
And yeah, I'm still starting sh*t!
They don't call me "Lucky Luke" for nothingsyadasti said:Haha - nice try Acadian - Pinkbike wasn't "exclusive" with that PR - Hcor, Farkin, and Pinkbike all got the release at the same time - some are just a little quicker posting it
I'm faster than my shadow!!
Amen Dave the hating is getting a little old.dw said:
Sunday frameset with the included e.thirteen zerostack reducers (the bike was designed specifically to use these) and a 7 inch fork like a Boxxer or Dorado has a head angle of 66 degrees. If you want to slack it out even more you can use the Cane Creek or FSA reduccing lowers.Supa8 said:
Actually I was hoping somebody like Luc who wrote the article for pinkbike could provide that information. I'd have expected ball park figures to be given in a press release like this, especially where bikes are expected to hit the showroom floors in just a few weeks. I wouldn't expect IH to deviate from their business model and sell the new lines for twice the retail price of the Hollowpoint or SGS lines though.dw said:
Its actually 65 degrees, but because you have a lot of adjustment with the e.thirteen cups, you can adjust it by a solid 1/2 degree either way if you want. It works out pretty nice. I had the advantage of doing back to back runs at Whistler on the bike with the 7" and 8" forks, and personally I prefer the 8" fork for there. I cant wait to go back and ride.Jm_ said:
shivers were 190mm, which is 7.48". :eviltonguJm_ said:I know...they "mow", that's why I've been using 8" since 2001
