yes please on the new moto lid - i love my sam hill d3 but when its time for a new one i definitely want to find myself in something that looks a little more like that new moto lid rather than the current trend of mtb full faces with huge long oversized chin bars - seriously though stik - that...
they sell direct to the customer. I got a large carbon lifeline frame from them earlier this year and the antidote guys were amazing. Super helpful and the frame is incredible. Super light but still remarkably stable at speed and just a dream in the corners.
finally finished it!!!

36 pounds on the dot with my winter tires and heavy tubes, front fender, 2 swingarm fenders and the shock mudflap - will probably have it...
i owned a sunday back in the day, had a v10, was on the order list for an original evil revolt and ended up with an m9. I loved my sunday but i had some custom valving in the shock to help with the midstroke support and my HA was a little slacker. it rode amazing and i loved the thing to death...
arent they pretty much the exact same thing? the dh just has the single spider rather than the 2x10 spider - and the dh comes in red which isnt nearly as cool as the chrome/silver all mountain XOs
yeah, i didnt think the 450 was stiff enough, felt a little gushy in the corners, bogged down in the rough and didnt snap through or carry as much speed as the 500, better traction but only by a tiny tiny bit... it might have something to do with the rear shock and the settings your running on...
last year i ended up as the #2 ranked expert 19-29 racer in the country (im 21) despite spending most of my summer race season crashing and getting 10th, did that at like 4 races haha
i live in ashland oregon, grew up in palo alto california and go to college in boulder colorado so the bike...
bored and cant study for midterms any more so i thought id chime in...
Frame/Shock: 2010 Intense M9 with a cane creek double barrel, 2013 Carbon Antidote Lifeline with a cane creek double barrel
Rear Sag %: 15%-20%
Sag measured standing/sitting?: standing
Thoughts: (is it perfect, or have...
my large candy apple green m9 weighed a little over 12 pounds frame with a ccdb on it - this is around 7.3 pounds - and is definitely stiffer in the rear end
its not done yet but i thought id show you guys whats going on so far... with my build and some estimating, it looks like its gonna be around 32-33 pounds with a coil shock... already the frame is pretty much exactly the same size as my large m9 which is perfect but its almost 6 pounds...
are you a ryan dungey fan? that might be the problem, the instant he started bouncing on that thing at A3 i felt all the air in my various air sprung suspensions suddenly fail
i have some laced to hadleys on my m9 - been running them for awhile now, absolutely love them. Held up super well so far, ridden lots of very rocky trails and had a few races on them on pretty rough fast tracks. No dents, only the new wheel checkup true and just a few scratches from where ive...
love my leatt - i usually ride really steep gnarly stuff here in CO and still some really steep stuff, but its usually mellower back home in OR. for me it feels weird to ride my dh with a full face and not have it on - when you start riding with it, it will definitely feel weird - i noticed the...
im running a ccdb in my m9, 9.0 inches of travel, middle G3 dropout, middle progression, head angle slacked out to 63.3 before sag. My bb is like 13.5 ish... I just know it rails turns like no other. I'm 195 and i run a 500# spring but i like my bike to be pretty stiff
in terms of setting the...
