Thomson X4 50mm stem
Serfas Nut dismantler saddle (will keep me from sitting during runs)

You're too old to be posting threads like this. What's next, a pic of a drop with a vertical measurement photoshopped in?:evil:

Yeah, the 07's are out along with Fox's other 07 stuff.
The 40 feels great with the Double Barrel.
The 40 now comes stock with a stiffer ti spring.
It is made for 180 to 210lbs riders
I already switched mine out to the softer spring,
and it feels spot on for me at 175.
I am gonna try to switch out and get the blue ti spring for it.
Both the fork and rear shock are really adjustable.
Also, the new 40 has a new bottoming control, and it ramps up nice at the end of its travel. I would not call this fork linear at all.

As far as weight, I do not have an accurate scale at all, so let's just call it 40 lbs for now.:)

how do you like the demo 8 frame?
It fits me perfect, and I really like the way it handles.
Cornering on this bike is just ridiculous.
My BB height is 14.0 with Michelin 2.5's, and I am running my double barrel with a good bit of sag.
It corners awesome, the front end is easy to lift, and it feels great at speed. Its a fun bike to ride.

Hey Jeremy, that thing is getting parked right after Sugar and will collect dust for the rest of the season if you wanna move into your new pump track...I mean...house.
No, I ride my bike.
But if I need any dust removal tips, I have you on speedial.:rofl:
My wife does NOT want me to not ride. My head would explode.
As a matter of fact, I took her to lunch today and she shuttled me all afternoon. :)

Jeremy, nice man! That 40 looks great. I am waiting on my Ti 450 spring to get here. I have a 500 right now that is a little bit stiff. These bikes rock don't they. Unreal cornering, and the DB just soaks up small bumps and landings like nothing I've ever ridden.

Don't hate just because my bike is better looking than your bike.

Can't wait for Friday - weather looks good and we had a fun race this weekend. If you still have the Boxxer I may have somebody who want to buy it.

whats the duct tape by the BB for? and how did you get your BB height to 14 flat?
That is the bottom part of an old DHR sticker kit.
It protects the downtube like clear moto tape.
As far as my BB, I just measured it.
Its lower than what was published.
I know my headset has a lower bottom cup than the stock bike, but that is the only difference that I know of.

Did you measure from the crank bolt or the bottom of the BB shell?
