Nice!
Don't you guys have rocks there in cali? After only a month or so on the trails around here and my poor bike looks like its been through a wood chipper.
Oh and by the way it looks awesome.

Looks nice!!!
yeah what's up with places that have names like "Rockville"?? must be some sort of joke!H8R said:
yeah I'm not the biggest fan of Carbon either, reason why I don't run Carbon bars. But decided to give these a try anyway..the X.0 shifters are SOOOOO nice!
Those brake levers and shifters looks so good...Mmmmm....carbon.
Don't know why everybody gets so uptight with carbon. I ran, still running, a carbon bike all over the East coast (from West Va. all the way down to Florida) and now in California with no issues. And trust me, I've wrecked it plenty of times on rocks.

I ran a carbon bike from '96 until '03. The trip into the garage finally broke it.
those are some sweet controls there.
Where did you get carbon levers for the 7's?
I thought on my Pike that the sticker was put on wrong but looking at your's, it looks like they are all off-center.
those are the new 06 Avid Carbon Juicy 7's.robdamanii said:
RideND - yeah they all come like that!
Love my Pike!!
Dang. Wonder if they'll be selling them separately.Acadian said:those are the new 06 Avid Carbon Juicy 7's.

Easy - you simply have to make sure you take pics right after installing the new goodies and always use those picschicodude said:
I rode Mr. Toads with Kevin on Saturday...took a nasty spill near the end = snapped SDG saddle and scuffed Carbon Juicy's. I can attest that the carbon levers fair pretty good in crashed against rocks
I think you crashed in one of the only places there really aren't any rocks, just nic soft spungy tree trunks.Acadian said:
Maybe I didn't notice them because of my future shock rear suspension which has a vertical axle path and is completely neutral under pedaling and braking forces.
whats the price total of just the shifters and brakes? The best is nice, but these days it seems hard to justify. My X-7 shifters have worked awesome for me on my dirt jumper.
X.0 Trigger shifters = approx. $250kicknitLivE said:
Juicy Carbon = approx. $270 each
Total = around $790
He just makes sure his head takes the brunt of the impact! 14 helmets/year!kidwoo said:

I got so sick of breaking xc helmets, I just started wearing my dj/skateboard helmet.MMike said:
Of course I fell on my face sunday because I couldn't see into the afternoon sun. I need a visor.
How are the XOs compared to shimano's stuff?
simply doesn't compare - you have to try them to understand. I'll never ever go back to Shimano.robdamanii said:
i still think a force field is a definate possibility. When you bring that sucker up here for some epic XC rides, we'll go thru some wholesome PNW mud, if that bikey is clean at the end, then the theory will be proven.:dancing:

gucci set-up you gor there but nobody comented on the coolest part the entire brake is finaly devoid of plastic, notice the pimp alloy adjustment dials?
how do you like the x0 shifter for the front derailleur? when i was testing them out on a bike at my shop i didnt like how it was a click when upshifting, it just seems like you have to have the derailleur just perfect to get it to shift fine. ill take an x0 for the rear and an x9 for the front.
