    M9 ride reports?

    We had worked with pre-preg years ago hear at work and still have the machinery to do it. this fender idea has definitely crossed my mind, but it all comes down to $$$$ for tooling. the material itself is not that expensive. it's the machine time to make a tool. there are so many cool things...

    How is this a frame issue when the only two hubs with problems are Hope. Honestly the rear axle doesn't need 40ft lb of torque to keep it tight...

    Wow, what a great write up. I only have two little rides on mine so I haven't really experimented yet. Mine is in the 9.5" setting and works super good. Zero degree headset and middle G3. The bike is honestly so stable I don't know why I would want to try the long G3, unless its a super fast...

    I hope you don't get offended, but everyone else seems to have a similar setup as you and are under 40lbs. Your build sounds sick.... have you tried weighing it with another scale?

    N-Style (the moto graphics co) sells clear plastic, super thick stuff too. I ran it on my downtube and chain/seatstays and it did the job. For $15 or so you get 3 or 4 large sheets. Google and call 'em up!

    Here are some links for the CCDB. Personally I think Cane Creek has one of the best Owners Manuals compared to any other in the shock market. http://www.canecreek.com/tech-suspension?view=db-manual and this little beauty from Intense.... http://intensecycles.com/pdfs/ccdb_m9.pdf

    I really don't get what everyones fuss is about with Intense developing new bikes. So, is like Ferrari supposed to bring out the 458 and call it good for 10 years. No, they probably have Massa testing a new car right now. Big deal, Intense makes new bikes, they are supposed to right ... duh...
