have you ever done a line tracing of an fsr bike? ive tested it on several fsr bikes, and in the normal range of travel it is almost straight. as i said it does curve inward toward the end. let me make sure you know i am talking about straight, not vertical. this curve is more evident in the...
i cannot agree with you on the low single pivot thing. i have ridden single pivots and fsr bikes, along with an array of vpp, rocker, etc bikes. i currrently own both a single pivot, and an fsr bike, and have to say, they are nothing alike. fsr has a perfectly* straight axle path, wheras a...
theyre gonna get their asses sued by specialized, chainstay dropout pivot, horst link on the enduro, both the mtn bikes use what seems like FSR, (dont correct me, the xc bike actually could be fsr, it has to do with the location of the main, and dropout pivot) unless they have a license from...
umm no question, this one

bought new in 05,
great car, super comfortable, good in the dirt, snow, etc.
poor pickup, high RPM on the hiway, but none the less, great bike transporter, potential to hold a bunch of bikes,
highly recommend it.
for somereason though, people like to bump into it, and they get...
suzue hubs work well if your just like commuting occasionally and going at a liesurely pace, i had to do an panic track skid and i bent the axle on mine, other than that they work very well for the money. the surly hubs work flawlessly, i would opt to go for one of those.
i like mine better
New frame/Shock are on the way, soon to have some 26" rear downhill ownage;)

i can let you know in about a week, they come stock on my next bike. cant go wrong with some IRC Kujos though, those things pedal fairly well and bite like a cornered racoon. they're damn good tires and are hard as hell to pinch flat.
not ideal is reffering to the geometry of the bike with a longer travel fork. by putting a longer travel fork on the bike you raise the headtube height, therefore increasing the rake on the fork and seattube, raising the standover height, bottom bracket, headtube, and therefore making the bike...
your a ****in moron, the bighit for a while there was specialized premere downhill bike, and FSR is one of the best pedalling suspension types.
the bighit, especially the 2004-05 frame design was a very versitile platform, generally speaking. it offers adjustable travel from 6.2-7.5 or...
the steelset is first of all a deep cup headset, so traditionally, it is hard to remove, on top of that its steel, so it is therefore harder to remove. your pig wont hold true to the test of time, after 6 seasons, that steel king will work as good as the day you installed it. they outlast the...
there is no substitue for a chris king, they are made with surgical precision and unmatched quality, if its a king product, the lifespan of the product will be years longer than any other competitor. i have run a king headset for the last year on my downhill bike, and never had to make any...
Demo 8 gets my vote, rather than the demo 9, i have ridden both, and for my personal rig, i own a bighit w/ a simmilar geo and the same travel as the demo 8. you cannot beat FSR suspension technology for performance, despite what other people may say. the suspension is completely unaffected by...
you dont need a drill press, the tap works on its own. it may be that they dont have the tap. i have done it, and had very poor luck with them, so be wary
