good choice....DI have heard that the specialized sx trail serries is good for that.
What? No one has mentioned a Bullit yet?
Did the Stinky come with those jackstands, or did you have to get them after trying to work on the bike?kona stinky ive been able to race dh, freeride and trailride, i dont even look at my other bikes http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l113/dvddobson/?action=view¤t=STA60018.jpg&refPage=12&imgAnch=imgAnch14
Are you looking for the same things as the OP? If so, I'd pay attention to the geo of each bike.The 6.6 begs for a heavy shock and is not trail XC worthy like the SX trail.
Both are outstanding rides and I would mount either any day but they are not XCable. Not with constant mid sized climbs. You would most likely be dropped by the pack in a few miles.
The nomad has NO water bottle mount.[sux cause i luv the bike]
I am torn between the new 5spot that's actually 5.75" and the Foes fxr and the commencal meta
input?
I was thinking the same thing.
That could be because the Coiler is not stocked with a pro-pedal shock. Fox claims that the Vanilla R has propedal, but there is not adjustments for it.What are the diffrences between the Kona Coiler and the RFX design ?
Seems like a nearly identical suspension system. Yet I hear the Kona pedals just acceptable(my immpression from reading only). And that the RFX pedals unreal !
Can anyone explain why that is ? Is it the geometry of ST & HT angles ?
A medium '06 Coiler frame with Vanilla shock is 8.8 pounds. With DHX Air (e.g. Coilair frame), is about 8.4 pounds. They use some material in them things.To me, coilers seem heavy. Maybe it was just the build on the one that I was looking at.
