Need any ideas to remove the pin from the rear lower link that holds the DW link to the rear triangle. Tried PB Blast, C clamps, Light pounding, Etc.... It will not budge. Hey Carl, would Randall Scott be able to remove it for me? They are located locally. any info would be appreciated.
Udi - Did you ever get your frame anodized? I have a Sunday and I am debating on get it anodized or go with a powder coat. Any thoughts or problems you encountered?
When powder coating a frame do you need to sand the paint down (or just mask it out)when installing the bearings back in the frame for the suspension? Or is there another method? any tips to get the bike back in running order (or make it easier) after a paint job would be helpful. Just want to...
is it a common occurrence for the forks to dent the gusset at the head tube? will it cause me problems in the long run? Has any one tried to fix the dents with dry ice? just curious.........
test ride and then test ride and maybe do some more test rides on different bikes. Then you will find the right bike and style you are looking for. Comfort and fun is the key!!!
the question should be "do you like your bike and does it do what you want it to do?". Its not a walmart bike and they do make good bikes. Having fun is the point.... enjoy!!
I would not recommend doing DH on a hard tail like the one you purchased. Not at that speed. Invest in full pads and helmet. You will recoup by 10 fold and med bills will not exist. most important is to have fun without sacrificing your life.
gloves can help. Seat height and angle can also be a issue. the higher the seat the more pressure on your hands. ask your bike shop that you got it from to adjust it for you.
its sounds a little small for your height. But.... If you feel comfortable on the bike then that is a personal choice. Its what you feel comfortable on. you could trade it and then sell it to get a bike that better fits you too..........
If your doing DH you need a full suspension. You can get a used Specialized BIGHIT for $600 to $1000 on craigslist. Thats where I would start. Craigslist is the best way to get a deal. I bought a Giant Reign X1 at the LBS it was $2600. I got it for $1500 in excellent condition on craigslist...
