    RockShox Vivid Air R2C Rear Shock vs Cane Creek DB Air

    Not to derail the thread somewhat, but does anyone know if the CCDB Air volume spacers can be retrofitted to the Vivid Air? Mine is painfully linear, and would love to sort it out!

    2007 Morewood Izimu Shock Reducer Dimensions

    Hi guys, Hopefully a very short open & shut case here. I've acquired a 2007 Morewood izimu and receive a new shock for it in a few days. However, I didn't get the reducers with the frame, and am bereft a pair of callipers with which to measure. I believe the forward mount is 22.2mm (which...

    Stainless Steel DH Frame

    That has got to be the most gorgeous frame I've ever seen. I just wish we had actual bike parks here to justify it!

    No shimano for SX?

    I'm running a custom XTR / Saint jobby on my Demo with zero issues. Just get the B tension right and it runs like a freak'n dream.

    Post your 2011 rides!

    This. The only problem with the Zerodes is the fvcking tiny sizes they come in! A large Zerode sits about a medium in most bikes, and borderline small on a Demo.

    New Maxxis tire

    I'm going to make the assumption English isn't your native tongue; but you've got it all arse backwards. Peat tested the tyre first and recommended it. Greg used it and commented on the speed it rolled at, but that he felt sketchy on it. No negatives about costing places. ****; the thing...

    Demo 8 vs Banshee Legend

    I'm currently on a 2011 Demo coming off of a 2008 Morewood Izimu. Although I've never ridden the Banshee, I can offer some information on the Demo. The best way I can think to describe the frame is "A single pivot with braking traction" because really, that's pretty much the main and only...

    E13 SRS+ with Saint m810 cranks - what modifications need to be done?

    Mine was on two different bikes as well, one with a 135mm rear end, the other with a 150mm, for what it's worth. That must have been a hell of an impact! I left my bashguard a bit of a square after both seasons, but the tabs held up good 'n strong.

    E13 SRS+ with Saint m810 cranks - what modifications need to be done?

    I ran my saints and SRS+ for two seasons with absolutely no problems. Never dropped a chain, never jammed, never did anything wrong. It was damn near silent too. Obviously set up is always key, so just make sure everything is lined up perfectly.

    best looking downhill frame

    Boy, I resurrected a D8 from the grave a couple seasons back and ended up loving it! I basically ended up killing it good 'n hard, and had to trash it. Cracked rear triangle, bent linkage and pins, and all the hardware was bent or snapped too. (Not a hack!) Anyway, here's a picture in its prime!

    k9 <3 fork bearings!

    I ran Enduro eyelet bearings in one end of my Morewood for just shy of a year. I have to say, if it wasn't for the case my bushing was gone I'd have regretted the purchase. You really notice the difference pushing the bike in the workshop, but whilst on the trail there's SFA difference that I...

    From a Seperated wrist to emergency surgery.

    From a dead leg to compartment syndrome? That's fvcking nuts!

    Shimano Franken-brakes

    Apparently it does work; Bizmojo (I think that's his name - fella in Indonesia) has been running new style 4 pots with old Saint levers for like 2 years.

    Why is a vertical axle path better than a rearward one?

    All DH bikes benefit from hubs with less clicks. More clicks = bad on DH bike. It interferes with all frames.

    2011 Demo Questions

    e*thirteen cranks currently come with a standard 83mm BB which you thread into the adapter cups, but they are working on an 83mm direct pressfit cup, which will be available in the near future.

    2011 Demo Questions

    My LG1+ fits perfectly with a 35t chainring. Haven't had any issues with either the chainstay or the chain touching the guide.

    Because no matter what happens you bitch! You want everything from one man! Just as the engineers go by cheap, strong, light, you can apply the same to retail. Cheap, fast, service; pick two. The guy sells stuff fvcking cheap, gets inundated with unexpected orders and has to play...

    2011 Demo Questions

    I found the little gap you're talking about! Thankfully, I have a little 6 speed cassette jobby that doesn't come (too) close, however, with my slight OCD I went over the lot with a fine tooth comb; pulling and pushing the chain in every direction it could ever want to go, and found it could...

    Post your 2011 rides!

    Yep - it's the new bike time (here in Australia anyway!), so I suppose it's time for the new thread. I'll start with my 2011 steed. Frame - M 2011 Demo 8 Rear shock - Fox DHX RC4 Front shock/fork - 2010 Boxxer WC Handlebars - FSA Gravity Light 800 (Not shown) Stem - Funn RSX Headset -...

    2011 Demo Questions

    Apparently so - a video a while back confirmed they'd tweaked it for more rearward movement. 13.5" / 64* Just got my frame and have built it up. So much love! It sits at about 17kg right now with a not too conscious build. Can't wait to slay'er tomorrow!
