Yo Pashley -
I had the same problem. I go to Whistler about 25 days every year to get my DH kicks. I finally moved from my Bullit to an 05 Stinky Supreme with DHX 5 and 888RC. The DHX felt dead from the get go. The only time it felt right was on good sized drops but in the rocks and roots...
Finally got my Stinky Sup all built up and a few rides put on her. The ride is so much differant than my Bullit I'm having a hard time adjusting. After about 15 DH runs here's what I notice:

The lines make a differance in the Shimano 755's for sure! The Hopes are the same. Two problems I ran into are the kit ships with just one banjo (90 degree) fitting so you have to order and another side from Hope if you are running the 755 levers. I've also been playing around with the fittings...
Right on, thanks bomber! My frame is a medium and I ordered the new Hope braided brake lines and 5' seems to be too short. I'll mess around with the routing and see if I can get it to fit cleanly.
I'm jumping in late, but am stoked to talk to some Kona riders. Just picked up a new 05 Stinky Supreme frame set to build up over the winter. The flat camo paint is awesome looking, but straight out of the box mine has a big scratch on the top tube. DOH! I've got a few questions for everyone on...
