    Does anyone not dent their Demo downtube?

    after 3 years of heavy riding at snowshoe my demo 9 has a bunch of scratches, but no dents that i can see (through the mud from shuttles last weekend). i do however have some nice dents in my shins from my comp 16s throwing up everything in their path!

    manitou swinger 4 way coil

    what bike, how much rear travel, and how much is it compressing? also going from a 500 lb spring to a 400 lb spring is a pretty big decrease if the 500 was workin. Raising the SPV pressure just makes the bike pedal better, it shouldn't add preload to the shock.

Im gonna switch the geo back to slack, and dial in...

    Demo 9 spring rate

    I have been riding a demo 9 for the past 3 years. My bike came w/ a 400 pound spring, with the frame set in the low/slack setting. what are you guys that are racing a demo 9 running in terms of geo and springs? i found that the slack setting was a little too slack for me, so i set my frame to...

    Major Snowshoe Mountain announcement

    yeah, honestly i love snowshoe because of the gnar factor. lots of rocks, roots, tech trails like hairball, mud is always complicating things, and the basin is crazy fun for short runs after a long day of the western territory. i like powerline and all, but i can jump my bike at the local...
