    Balfa BB7 ye or ne?

    No it doesn't. I'm guessing 44-46lbs. Let's just say I had one with a Boxxer, XTR cranks, 521's and all lightish parts and it was 43-44lbs. BB7 frames were heavy.

    Balfa BB7 ye or ne?

    The black one is a 2001, I had one. As well, I owned a 2000 and a 2002. If you are buying one, buy the '02 or newer. The older ones failed miserably. There were some simple fixes to alleviate the problems, but it came back.

    maxxis minion tire question

    Well that's understandable. Both those tires aren't stellar at braking either (straight, stand up braking). They all would be if they have a good square-edged knob going down the middle, similar to a Comp24. That said, when they're new they perform fine, but its when the knobs start to wear...

    So what's THE hot rim these days?

    Mavic 721's are awesome, but they dent much easier than 729's, which are another very good rim. I'm riding Atomlab Pimplites right now and so far no complaints. They weigh about as much as the 721 and thus far seem strong.

    maxxis minion tire question

    My thoughts too. One of the worst straight-line braking tires. Plus, the knobs are too floaty for the front. Actually, not good in the back either except when absolutely new.

    would this work instead of a compressor for notubes?

    That's cool, I have never seen that. I like that van too.

    Xprezo Raah

    http://bb.nsmb.com/showthread.php?t=86104 This is my personal ride, and one of our newest lines. Owned by yet another former Balfa co-founder, Hugo Bardou of Montreal. 6.25" of travel and about 7lbs with a steel rear end/aluminum front. Sorry for the Spam! (not really) ;)

    Need a tire for deep, loose, spongy loam...

    Comp 16 works great in those conditions. Whatever you pick, make sure the knobs are on the small side with a sharp braking edge.

    2007 DH & FR frames from France

    It looks alright. All single pivots aren't created equal, some work better than others. The good SP's are perfectly fine for anyone.

    racelink fork

    I've seen guys with custom mounted 80cc dirtbike forks before. Bit of a freakshow, but it worked. Those have about 10" of travel, big bikes have close to 13". I do believe that they have 1.125" steerers too.

    Welcome back to.... NAME THAT STEM!!!

    Hot dog we have a wiener. Sorry for the spam, but the Straitline stem's wedge holds so tight that you can actually remove the bolts (but don't ride it like that) and it will stay snug.

    Just Hardcore

    We had a guy we used to call 'the big show' who raced the BC Cup. He was about half the size of that guy riding the Surly, but he was still a big guy. Anyway, he was a fast dude. Almost made it to the pro ranks, plus he could style it up in the air better than most.

    Welcome back to.... NAME THAT STEM!!!

    I find most cheaper stems (and a few pricey ones) will slip on the steerer tube. Usually, expensive stems clamp more securely, for example, the Straitline vertical wedge.

    The manual that came with Yami is the same one that the shop mechanics use. That's just cool.
