WTB i23 Frequency

Man I am not trusting those and the Stans Flow EX's I have now will go away soon once they crack or get bent too far. May look at 823's again...
I've been on local brand Dartmoor Raider rims for 2 seasons. I don't think WTB are weaker, but definitely cheaper than Flow EX or even regular Flow. However, I will probably buy one WTB more as spare ;)

frango, have you checked out revolt rims? they seem light, but I dont know about bends that hold UST tires. Any experiences by Polish users regarding UST compability with those rims? :p They are about light as wtb and flowex.

No, I haven't, but I've seen them on bikes of some sponsored riders.

Well the Gambler is finally done. Rear shock will soon be a CCDB Air and other than that, things should be as seen. 38.1 lbs with race wheel(tubeless Minion DHF 2.5 3c) set on and 38.7 with the spare wheel set as seen.

Rode the bike today for the first time and wow...color me impressed. Awesome bike.







Of course photo cred goes to DaveT

demo 9, so sweet bike!! how is the fork? :)
its incredible, is so easy to compress as far as stiction goes-only have 1 ride on it, but i am blown away, have not even twisted a dial yet. feels like im riding a flat tire is so soft-but doesnt bottom out? BOS did their homework, this has to be 10 seconds on the right track, i really really like it

it confirms my experience with single crown fork too. Somebody said that it feels plush as Zocchi, I had hard time to believe when it is air fork. No flashy coating on stanchions.

I pumped too much air to the fork as I thought this would bottom out otherwise but it felt harsch instead. I think BOS is doing good job with mid-stroke support. Also each click of settings makes big difference. I look forward to try out bigger longer tracks too.

I have converted my FR30 Voltage for DH (200 mm travel) with Boxxers and a custom linkage to increase the frame’s rear travel. Few other upgrades like +10 mm long IDS rear dropouts and a Works Components -1.5 degree angled headset too. It rides nicely, feels plush and more planted :)
