my friend is building up a specialized demo with a zochi 888 the thing is a freakin beast 9 in the rear 8 up front and its weighs like 40-45 lbs. this is all fine the thing that i think he should fix is he is running a double chainring with a bashguard. i think he is just fooling himself and that bike is going no where but downhill but he insists that he will be able to pedal it around. i say he should just get a single with a chainguide. what do you guys think ? oh hes not some super strong monster child either just a normal kid 17 years old
