    low budget boxxer ?!

    Why don't you look at some of the teams forks, not as bling as the WC but not in the low end of the spectrum either. I think the team is a great option in the Boxxer line-up weather '04 or '05, for most riders it doesn't give up too much performance to the World Cup (for most riders). My two...

    Some feedback on Chumba F4?

    If you ride every weekend then the bushing kit won't last long, pick up two so you don't miss riding time mid-season. Get ready to deal with a little play that develops in the rear. EXTRA BOLTS!!! Plus I developed a problem with my rear swing arm, PM me if you're interested in what happened...

    allright guys, what bike for my wife?

    :stupid: remember that it'll be cheaper to by the higher end model of the bike you choose than to upgrade stuff like forks and brakes later. A little extra bump in price range goes a long way.

    Chumba F4 for sale, worth it?

    I own a Chumba Wumba F4 and its an amazing frame, light and fast. But and this is a big BUT if you are just getting into DHing I would not recommend it. First off that auction is gonna close much higher than $399 like Fulton said. Secondly the F4 is a high maintenance frame from a small...

    stupid question about dot

    Something might be wrong with your set-up. You shouldn't be going through that much hydro fluid that frequently. What kind of brakes are you using, are you using the right kind of fluid for your set-up? Are your brakes loosing power? Try to provide a little more details and maybe one of the...

    Turner DHR vs. Ironhorse Sunday

    If I had to pick between the Sunday and the DHR I'd pick a Chumba Wumba F4! Just kidding, but either bike you get I'm sure you'll be happy. Check up on the recent OEM hardware issues that Iron Horse has been having (although they've been taking care of their customers I think it sucks having...

    Best Bike cleaning routine

    Look at your dirty bike after a days riding and say to yourself, "Damn I gotta clean my bike". Then go have a beer, you deserve it cause you seriously considered washing your bike. Or, just ride your bike in the rain. Then go have a beer, you deserve it cause you rode in the rain and only...

    sinister r9 info

    What is strange to me is that you're leaving to Whistler in a few hours and you are still posting stuff on ridemonkey. GO GET READY FOR YOUR TRIP! *Sorry back on topic* What were you riding before and what was the wheelbase on that, compare the two and how you liked your previous bike's...

    finally done!!!

    Glad you like the bike, I had a bullit and it just plain rocks. For me that just seems to be too big of a fork on a small bullit. I would double check that headtube angle cause if it really is at 64 degrees than your geometry is way off the about 68 to 69 that it should be. You are right up...

    (sigh) Damn Hayes Mags... thinking of getting Avid Juicy 7's for next year...

    I've had problems with my mags ever since I gott'em in 2002. I never felt like they were set-up properly, they never felt like they had the stopping power that they should've. I bled them, changed pads, lines everything and I was never happy. This year my new LBS put the same brakes on my DH...

    finally done!!!

    That looks like alot of fork for a bullit, what's the headtube angle at with the Fox? Does it raise the BB height? Post a review once you get some saddle time on that beast, I would love to hear how the bullit shreds with Fox handling the suspension front and rear.
