Grabbed a new bike..
Got a few adjustments not sure longevity on head set cups but I guess we will see..

 

[kidwoo]

cannot WAIT to see the frame color after 10 days in the humidity free CA sun!

 

[canadmos]

How many frame bags can it hold?

Cut it in half so we can see the layup and voids.

Wait till you see my O-CHAIN going on with oval ring . Shits gonna be wootastic...

Yeah right, red gets killed first Everytime..tattoos, paint, anodizing etc...fades so fast..I wanted black but not an option, could have it custom painted but not in that mode right now...

that salmon pink bike you just bought makes ochain seem like a good investment

I am all about fanny packs and under saddle bags...much more manly, just look how macho the rock was.

I could put ride wrap like puzzle pieces on it then in 6 months pull em off and have a 2 tone atrocity..

If it fades to hell I'll see about bitching and warranty it...I want black or white, a raw carbon like yeti would have been kick butt...

Get punk rock with that shit. Hit it with some rattle can black primer and then scratch in some tiger stripes.

So that's like a double drop in headset?
I hope the next model is the V10 CCP.

Yeah has 3 positions +8*/0*/-8*
There's a top and bottom drop in and then a tiny headset like a 41 or some weird oddball goes in...ordered it already bti...be here next week

It's actually a pretty slick design but no solid consumer use either skilled or stupidity...lol

 

[canadmos]

As long as the headset reach things stay tight, it shouldn't be a problem right? At least the carbon looks thick there and SC seems to have one of the better warranty departments...

I've only ever had one bike with an integrated headset and it wasn't great. The damn thing came loose once and that was it - was forever fighting to keep the thing from knocking after that.

No bearings on the lower shock mount?

that's a similar setup to what guerilla gravity was using. I bet money that it would creak like a bitch once some good west coast volcanic dust got in there but mine never did.

Just epoxy them in place. Problem solved!

Uh, no, use Guerilla Gravity Tape.

Guerilla Gravity Tape.

Wow I'm being taken back to old school ovalized head tubes and jb weld....lol

that color is ugly as shit but SC makes good plastic these days

I only wish my previous gen V10 came with those

I had to pay 150 extra freedoms to get an equivalent

How did you like your v10?

I like my session a lot, that bike rips...I'm keeping in , I'll leave it built on the wall...it's a keeper

 

[kidwoo]

How did you like your v10?

I got it for some dependability reasons over another bike I thought rode better but the newer frame design you have fixes my gripes.

I've sold or trashed almost every mtb thing I have over the last 3 years but the v10 is staying. That new one you have is even better. I'd buy one if I could justify the cost.


and make god damned sure I could get black and not that color

 

[Lelandjt]

What's the black thing above the bottom bracket, just behind the pivot?

 

[bullcrew]

Hoping it has a smoke screen or drop nails out on the course to slow those behind me...

Haven't had a chance to look at it fully yet, but till then I have dreams...lol

Looked at pics, looks like a cable guide for routing coming out then going to rear triangle..

I'll take a look in the AM ..I still need to actually check it out...

 

[bullcrew]

The rear brake adapters are a trip...

 

[madpharma]

Regarding the headset, its exactly how my canyon sender cfr is. I hope the qc from santacruz is better as with canyon the tolerances are way off and comes with a lot of play from factory. A lot of people warrantied it and got delivered a new frame just as bad as the one they send back. I Solved it by epoxying it to the frame. No kidding.

 

[englertracing]

Ir you run that reach adjust short and that cs long you'll find alot of corner grip

yeah, SCB carbon holds up. 5 years on a gen 3 bronson and it's still super solid, cascade link upgrade and new shock this year was a great update. prior to this bike, on Giant and commencal, frame warranty replacements were probably every 1.5-2 years, mix of aluminum and carbon.

One of my clients have simillar style, adjustable headset on his stumpjumper evo alloy.
Thats a nope from me.

411 ???

I will say the finish , build and quality of the frame , junctions and openings are clean...can't see under the paint lol...but I'm pretty sure it's as good .lol

I beat the crap out of my HTLT rode it like a DH bike and mulleted to slack it , ran fork 170..that frame took a lot and handled it all .

 

[Nick]

snazzy !

[Redwood Mulch Chucker]

I've been trying to get a V-10 frame for 3-4 years. Those things are hard to come by and hold their value. They're like the Porsche 911's of DH.

Not a fan of the reach adjust "cups" or even the rear axle adjusters. Too much opportunity for creaking and movement. You'd think SC would have learned with the Hightower and Megatower, both had adjustable CS in previous iterations, while the current ones don't. Maybe the cups will be better with a dual crown. The GG versions sure creaked, cracked and popped.

But sick pink bike anyway!

What were your gripes with the gen 7?

 

[troy]

411 ???

Nah, talking about those drop in, adjustable cups. They creak like crazy. There was so much play, that the upper compression ring started wearing the steer tube

"Glued" them in, then the bearings started creaking in those cups. It doesn't mean that the V10 will do the same thing, but hey, it's the bike industry

 

[canadmos]

You'd think SC would have learned with the Hightower and Megatower,

What did they learn? How to reduce the amount of parts and frame complexity - now they can sell the frame for the same price, while costing them less to make.

Would have been my first choice, white second...

 

[Andeh]

The reach cup on my GG creaked like crazy unless it was packed with grease and heavily preloaded, but the tolerance on it wasn't nearly as tight as what I see on my SC. The fit and finish on them is impeccable.

I love the current gen VPP. Every little pump makes the bike squirt forward, but it's not harsh. You should try riding it without the O-Chain before you put it on. I think for your riding (jumping, railing ruts & corners) you're going to love it. Congrats on the new bike.

Cable routing

Red is faster either way!

Thanks, appreciate that..

Yeah I love tech, rock gardens, nasty roots etc...im from Seattle so my first love is that, we have some nasty stuff here no doubt...great riding and a lot of progression here..

I love my session HP...Bike is fast as hell and digs corners, was smoother in chunk than my intense and a more controlled in rocks..but intense was a bit more difficult in on corners ..this I'm hoping splits those 2 things....
