I did an extensive parking lot test on this bike, it was bad ass-for a parking lot (Atleast I can admit it). Love the bike, hate the color, looks like a slow lesbian's bike.

I hope you upgraded your Evil football jersey. I've never seen you without it, I thought it was a tattoo. :rofl:
As far as the DT rims, they are the 5.1's and I ran them all last year.
DT makes their own tubeless rim strip for them, and I really like the setup. I only destroyed one of them last year which was good for me, so I decided to try them again. Are you coming down to da hollow again?
Well you did promise a jersey last year but since you backed out of that one I have ordered a extra jersey and new short too :)

Just waiting to hear back from Doug regarding the trip down south.

dope build!

damn those bars do look low! I'm runnin the mid ea70 with a 555 axle to crown 06 66rc2x, and sometimes it feels too low in my opinion. I have considered getting a little taller fork or moving to a little higher rise bar.... b.b. heigths seems fine though.... what length cranks you running? I'm runnin 170....

I want a double barrel.....

I need to come down and ride...

how much travel does the sx have? When it says 9.0x2.75" does that mean it has 9in of rear travel, sorry for the newb question but that bike looks soo hot, its almost making me want to get one and put a 40 on it...hmm

My guess is he's just playing around with it. He said his fork was at 7 inches of travel plus him and the guys were riding a shallow grade mini-DH this weekend. All he's gotta do is raise the stanchions to slacken the head angle out and the bars will look normal to you.

Just recieved the weights from Specialized

07 SX Trail 7,75lbs
07 Demo 8 10.75lbs
07 Demo 7 11lbs

All with shock.

So the SXT is a considerably lighter frame.

Thanks for posting those numbers, that's really helpful to me and I'm sure other people. I'm surprised at the Demo 7's weight.

I'm not entirely positive but are the demo 8 and 7 frames or at least the front triangles the same?

There's a little note at the bottom of the frame description that an aftermarket shock shuttle/mount is available for 'demo 7' travel and geometry.

Plus the frame measurements are identical.

Yep, the only difference in those frame weights are annodized vs. the paint.
The demo 8's are annodized.

JR, that thing is bling. If I ever sold my RFX, the SX is my first choice. The FSR and the CCDB are hands down soul mates. I love My Turner for the trail, but that SX of your's built a little lighter for trail duties for me is a very tempting setup. Have you seen my Trans Blue Demo 8? Man, We are going to be in Pisgah in June 8, 9, 10. Maybe you could come join us. Talk to ya soon man. Bling to the Max. Now all you need is a Ti spring to dress that DB in it's deserved Versace!!:twitch:
