    Morewood Kalula; build & first impressions

    It's rad. Still breaking in, but it gets better with each ride. Stiff and light. Very smooth. Norwegian :thumb:

    Finished SS build, thought I'd share...

    Well, before the ride today, I put most of the spacers above the stem (there were several below it in the pics I posted) and the bars felt to be in a good spot. I may consider getting a 1" rise bar instead of the 2", but it actually felt pretty spot on. Only more seat time will tell. Bottom...

    Finished SS build, thought I'd share...

    Day 1 first impressions: - didn't take long for me to feel pretty dialed on this thing - jumps great - super nimble - smooooth (I'm coming off a Demo 7 with the spacer removed and I don't feel like I've given anything up in terms of travel) - awesome in steep techy stuff - super stoked

    I'm 6'3", but I just left space there so I can decide where the right position is after a few rides and then I'll cut the rest of the steerer down flush.

    $500 to spend on fork?

    Agreed, 40s are a bit of a hassle unless you have the knowledge to wrench on them or you know someone who can.

    40# even as she sits currently, but I didn't really hold back on anything as far as weight goes. This will be my resort/shuttle bike, so I expected it to come in a few pounds heavier than most of the more pedal-friendly builds I've seen. Going to a Ti spring and a few other minor tweaks should...

    $500 to spend on fork?

    This seems like a no brainer to me. I just got the same '08 66 RC3 off Jenson for $499 as well...f'ing sweet fork. I've been on Totems the past few years and am stoked to be back on a 'zoke.

    40 rc2?

    Unless you race and have access to Fox support at those races, I don't think a 40 is necessary. Yes, the rc2's feel great, but the lowers are just not durable. I saw a buddy today take a minor fall and the lower must have hit a rock and dented badly enough that they are trashed. Consider a...

    Your bike build and the weight result?

    Nice build dude! It's pretty rad to have so much bike and have it weigh in in the low 40s. See mine below.

    Troy Lee Moto Shorts???

    I'm usually between a 34 and 36 in pants/shorts depending on the brand. I got a pair of the Moto's in 36 and was glad as there was no way I'd come close to fitting in a 34. Bottom line, if anything, they fit a bit smaller than the listed size.

    SPINERGY dh/fr wheel with carbon (flexy) spokes !

    I know one dude who had a set and liked them. However, "Rear hub 135mm quick release only" = :nono:

    DH/FR in NY Times Aug 5

    I can't stand when the news/newspaper/media use words like 'gnarly.' Also, 60# bike? Burly.
