How does she ride?!
I only have a ride on a jump trail, but plan on taking her to Windrock tomorrow and Snowshoes this weekend. Windrock will give me a lot better feel for her.

So far on the jumps though, it is very stable and I am liking it! I will for sure post more feedback on it once I get a few rides in and when she has had a little better suspension set-up.

I have been riding Tues CF with Boxxer and Vivid. I had 26" Tues with Bos suspension before it. New Tues is great bike, more playful and easier to ride than old one. Super stable at speeds and rails corners like no bike I have ridden. What spring rates You are running in rear shock? I'm 90kg and getting 325 spring. Hope it's good. I have stiff spring in Boxxer now and thinkin I need extra stiff.

My Tues CF comp rear axle locking bolt did break. Does anyone know can I get similar bolt somewhere? I mailed Yt but I want bolt asap so I can go riding :) I guess I have to drill bolt out from axle, bolt nut ripped off.

Mine did too, they changed it to a steel one. They told me it is not required, just there for safety. I ran without one for a couple of rides no problem, just torque your axle correctly.

I would check ace hardware though. Their customer service has been top notch for me.

YT answered me and said that they send me new bolt. And that I can ride without bolt until it come. Great customer service again from YT!

I had a 2014 Fuzz and loved it. I took advantage of the Canadian dollar and snagged a 2015 leftover frame for cheap monies. Frame is new, wheels, tires, shifter, derailleur all new. Everything else was just bolted over. I know my seat is sky high, I just took it out of the stand. Can't wait to drink the 650b kool aid this Saturday at Thunder.

Scraper Bike 2016, completely unrideable BOS suspension due to inferior air springs so decided to lower it using airbags and run it down the Venice boardwalk.
You forgot to bring your sharpie aka Onza maker.

Got this thing built up late last season--looking forward to really breaking it in this year. No changes planned aside from putting on the DX pedals I ordered over the winter.

Almost halfway through 2016, and we have <5 new DH bikes in the forum to show off. Half of the show-off DH bikes are just freshened up old bikes.

But the Trenduro showboat is going strong....

Had that for just over a month. Was poppy and offered crazy traction made the ENDURPO bike feel like it was trying to brake on ice in basically all instances! Pedaled fairly well it was a MD I would buy a LG personally....

What's your take on RCS Ti springs? Did you save much weight? Are they worth the money?
