    Front derailleure on a Demo 7- can it be done?

    Heya, Any of you Demo7 monkeys out there ever built a front derailleure on it? I can't get the local dealer to tell me whether or not it can be done. If you done it, which ft derailleure system did you use? Cheers

    Morewood Shova LT rear shock setup tips pls...

    Great tip, thanks. I guess I wonder in general whether 35% sag for FR is excessive (on a 7" travel) or maybe it is quite common... also I was wondering from riders experience whether DHX 4 not having bottom out dial tends to close travel more often or is the factory preset is doing its job...

    Morewood Shova LT rear shock setup tips pls...

    Heya monkeys (and other wicked animals out there ;) Just got my new 2008 Morewood Shova LT (kick ass beauty). In 2008 travel is down from 7.6" to 7.1" and it is armed with the DHX 4 with 350 spring. My Qs: 1. I weight 185lbs (w/o gear), and sag is pretty generous as it stands right now (about...

    Titanium vs. steel numbers

    Heya, When upgrading to a Titanium spring do I look for the same numbers that fits me on the Steel spring? Does 400 spring rate on Steel equals 400 spring rate on Titanium? if not, what would be the convergence rate? Cheers

    Rear axle for Saint M805/806 anywhere??

    Heya, I am looking for rear axle (Thru) for the unusual oversized threaded diameter of 12mm (fits the Saint M805 or 806 rear derailleur). The standard Saint M800 by the way is the 10mm thread. I am looking for both the 150X12 size and the 135X12 size of rear axle. Can you guys please direct...

    OEM vs. Aftermarket - what's the deal?

    Heya all, I know there are some differences between OEM and aftermarket forks in the lower end spectrum (less adjustments, different cartridges?), is it the same with higher end forks? e.g. I am looking into getting a RS Totem, Is there truly a difference here? how can I tell at all? any...

    Rear tire of choice?

    Heya, I am building my new SOCOM and after choosing the Intense DH FRO Lite 2.5 for the front I am now considering 2 options for my rear tire: The EX WORLD CUP 2.5 or the EX DH 2.5? I am going for the EX for the rear because I want a longer lasting tire (higher compound) where the wear...

    Please help me choose the next frogger...

    Heya fella riders, I am looking at getting a new fast Freeride frame. I really got my eye on the new SC Bullit.2. It defiantly looks to me as an improvement over the older Bullit and a true nimble single pivot Freeride machine. On the other hand I am very curious about the Transition...

    Heckler and Fox 36 Van? Yes....No...?

    I ride it with a DHX5 coil (2.25") that gives you exactly 143mm (about 5.6"). I run a Zoch AM12005 (6" max travel) and although it sets the bike slightly tall I dialed it in to about 140-145mm and it handles just perfect. The ETA is all it takes to make it perfect for long or technical climbing...

    How many teeth does it take?

    Heya, I'm building my first DH rig (An Intense SOCOM). My Q is: First time I'm going to be using a single chain ring, what would be the 'right' or 'recommended' number of teeth? Saint cranks (my choice) offer 34, 38, and then some 40's My intended use would be going to bike parks like the...

    Turner HighLine or the Intense SOCOM?

    OK dudes, by now I know it was a bad comparison. I suppose I was looking at something more DH oriented for fast runs like in bike parks (like in the French Alps Les Gets or whistler). I already own a Heckler with a very aggressive set up intended for abuse. I have taken my options now to choose...

    Mavic rims, what's the difference???

    Heya, I am confused regarding which Mavic rim to choose. Their web site is very poor in info (IMO) so can anyone tell me the difference between the 721, 729 & 823 rims? I guess I am looking to know the differences in terms of weight, strength, price, profile, best used for? I want to build a...

    1.5 Nomad reviewed in new MBA....

    Hey guys, I live far off from the U.S. and the MBA is about the only American mag we get to see around here. In light of the 'raving' reviews of the mag (what really got me worried was the toilet bit... got to wipe off that stuff, you know), could you be kind enough to recommend some worthy...

    DHR or M3? or maybe even SOCOM???

    In another thread I was debating between FR/DH frames and am now also looking towards more DH capable bike (I already own a 2005 SC Heckler built as tough as it can get for rough aggressive trails & FR riding style). I am looking for more nimble riding feel, my current IH SGS (although not a...
