    G2 Sneak-peak...

    Well... as most of you know, I've been working on designing a new frame around deuce-quads. I wanted to keep a very similar look while making drastic geo changes as well as dedicating it to 24's. I've also been dreaming up a sus-corrected rigid fork for almost a year now... Currently, the...

    990/u-brake tire clearance..

    Specin' the new build/planning the frame out and I've decided I want to give 990's a try over vee's. (I've heard they're both pretty comparable in performance now adays... so if you can give me a good reason either way to sway then please do.) I remember satori having issues with his molly...

    I am really considering trying out a little kiddies bike... Input, perhaps?

    Hey all... Welp, I've been getting more and more into riding street on my two-sixes and am really diggin' it. But I am REALLY craving a taste at what these 20's can do... Or what I can hopefully learn to do on one. At that.. I am very skeptical about riding one. I love bigwheels, I am a...

    Grove is at it again!!

    Hey all, So as some may know, I built up my first frame around June of last year. Since then, I've had a chance to ride it hard and find what I do and don't like about it. Given the fact that riding season is here (for most people), I decided that now would be a good time to crank out version...

    Shorter and shorter CS's = too unstable??

    Hey all... As these CS lengths keep getting shorter and shorter (more-or-less customers pushing it), do you feel as if you can reach a point where it is just too unstable to want to ride anything other than manuals?? 14.75 is the shortest I have yet to see on a production frame, and...

    Horizontal D/O length?

    Hey all... I'm re-designing the dropouts/CS length on my current frame for this spring/summer... Now obviously, you can get safe with the dropout length by going with an inch or so.. But that seems unnecessary these days... With that say, if I plan on running a half-link chain, or even a...

    Manitou's new GL...

    Hey all... I've heard some things of the GL's having strength issues in the past... The new 08's just look SO sick... I'm tweaking my original frame design to have much shorter stays and make it a bit more enjoyable for riding street. I'd like to keep my current bike as a loner or a bike...

    KHE Geisha Mtn. hub...

    Hey all, I'm gettin' my bike ready for spring... I just ordered in a KHE Geisha in the 135mm spacing... The little I've heard of them, they seem sick, so I bit my lip and went on a limb to order one. I guess why I'm posting is to get some feedback from someone who may actually ride one? To...

    Lowers on DJ1??

    Soo.....I'm polishing my lowers, have the fork all tore down, hell, I've already lowered it a few months ago... But I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the lowers seperated from the uppers? The 12mm socket on the bottom of the left(?) leg just spins and spins, its not loosening...
