post your 2010 rides!
- Thread starter FOXROX
- Start date
hmm nice in a wierd kinda way. Loving the dorado up front was very tempted for one on my makulu but was a tart and went for colour coordination instead. Love to know how you get on with it as i have only heard reviews from people who haven't paid for full price for them
uh oh, i will try my best! wont get ridden till may
. but i can say i will never EVER look at a 40 or boxxer the same way again! also heres my new blog! http://traviswesterkamp.blogspot.com/
thanks!
I have always been a Specialed guy but I am loving the 2010 Glory. How much are the frames going for?
So my new 2010 Glory arrived and has pretty much coincided with my scaphoid fraxture healing up which I've been sidelined with for 4 months. First outing on sunday.
Mostly same stuff as on my 2009 Glory but now with some Boxxer Graphics as well as a few new parts
Still got to work out spring rate so it's a steel spring for now. Though with a friend wanting to swap his WC Boxxer leg for my Team leg and with a Ti Spring, maybe the bike will be too light. Guess I'll find out soon enough whether a 35lb bike is sketchy enough as it is.

i wont ride diablo just because there is a little snow on it...
Not that I have much interest in actually doing any of this, but those who are interested might find some good info here: http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=68194SO basically get a 18v battery and a coat hanger, pour a 2 litre bottle of coke into a plastic bin.
Take the positive lead and put in the coke, take the negative and ground the coat hanger with parts on it. Stick hanger into coke with parts on it totally submerged and wait.....
There you have a RAW ti ano line LOL.
Other way is a dialed controlled rectifier like a big train reostat for power input, I dont recomend this as its not a controlled enviornment but I do know guys that ano with the car battery set up for small aluminum parts and set up little dye tanks out of coolers... Seen alot of stuff
Nice bike and Blog - would really like some feedback on those tires once you get some rides on them!uh oh, i will try my best! wont get ridden till may

2010 Rocky Flatline WC. Out of the box 40lbs, but I could care less about the weight. Pictured with thrasher wheelset. Rides awesome.
sweet ride fonzie....
damn, is that a XL size? it looks to have a really long wheelbase2010 Rocky Flatline WC. Out of the box 40lbs, but I could care less about the weight. Pictured with thrasher wheelset. Rides awesome.
Nah, it's a Large. Long wheelbase, yes. But it is still very responsive and flickable. I'm 6'2" and still make the bike look pretty small.
Thanks, I'm stoked on how the bike handles and looks.
Good to see Rockey finally building a proper DH bike.
The first part of the new build came in today the other parts tomorrow ie frame, shock new fork (bxr wc 2010) will be in next week and My current bxr 2010 wc will get sold then the 888 ti evo should be in feb 1st week or 2. Dont know yet...
Should be built tomorrow evening....

Cool, new flatline, now with 70% less ugly.2010 Rocky Flatline WC. Out of the box 40lbs, but I could care less about the weight. Pictured with thrasher wheelset. Rides awesome.
Nice looking bike.
You got me thinking that my bike is too big (not really). So I took a photo of me on the bike. Yeah, it looks a bit different with a tall Mexican guy on it huh? hahaha
what BB are you going to use? i havent had one ISIS BB that i had to rebuild half way through the season or replace.
fsa platinum pro, ran one for a year and a half, canfield rocked his almost 2 years. ive had great luck alot better than with exo BBs, fricking things get all crappy and hammered. Im not a fan of the external BBs... They work for some but I havent had great luck with em.
LOL Im 6'3" 235lbs and yeah it doesnt matter what bike us big guys ride we make em look small LOLYou got me thinking that my bike is too big (not really). So I took a photo of me on the bike. Yeah, it looks a bit different with a tall Mexican guy on it huh? hahaha
Haha... looks like a pixie bike! 
say what?! I couldn't resist...
you're waiting on another '10 Bxr WC to arrive and you've already got one that's going up for sale when the new one arrives? And on top of that, you're still expecting a 888 ti?!
do you really need to compensate for something that bad? little peter? lack of actual riding ability?
come on man be straight with us - what is it you're hiding?
some people...
sorry to detract from thread... Fonzie - amazing looking Flatline!

^wow that is so sexy. 
the Sunn is (and has been) definitely in my top 3 list of dream bikes.

Damn you!, I would have a Sunn in a flash if only i could fit my CCDB to it
My new ride. Not quite ready yet. Weight on picture is 14.18 kg
I hope they fixed durability issues those frames had as people had serious trouble with Sunn's CS so breaking them wasn't an option. Rumor says they've reinforced the frame a bit so it's good now but after knowing a few people with broken ones I kinda never regained my confidence in them.
That was "fixed" long time ago
@tamo: how do u like the rims? sick ride
are those wheels polished or pewter? They look really nice with that frame.
Well it will lighten up when he adds air to the tires!
Anybody have any idea how to remove thick powdercoat or bed-liner like material? Sent my frame off to get soda-blasted and the guy tried soda and then sand(the soda wasn't doing the trick), neither worked. He recommended using heat, but I'm not to keen on heating up my alu frame and than having it be as brittle as a pretzel(the hard kind)..
aircraft grade paint stripper?
look again
only thing missing is grips. Dont know the final weight but im hoping below 14kg for the complete bike. New tires will shave some weight, dont know exactly how much though.
Yeah, I was gonna try that stuff. I didn't have much luck w/it on a trying to strip some old wheels(car wheels).. Anything more powerful than that stuff? I've read using a heatgun(to remove house paint) works, but don't wanna go to all the trouble and find out it's not gonna work either..
