More my all around do everything bike. Got it as a brand new frame last year and built it up for this year.
2011 Kona Stinky TL
2011 Rock Shox Lyrik with dh damper
2014 Fox DHX RC4
I bought a rock show sector rl single air and love it. Nice and lite and uses the maxle lite axle. Motion control,rebound,compression and air adjustable. Super plush when you need it to be or you can set the motion control to ramp up quicker or just lock it out for climbing. I think 150mm was...
These shoes are awesome and probably the most comfortable riding shoes I have ever owned. I have the Straitline pedals as well that these shoes are designed around and can truly say.... There is a huge difference between other pedals because of the pin size and shape. My old vans don't even...
Just a heads up! If anyone is looking for a new riding shoe, Footlocker has the Teva Links on sale for $59.00 :eek:
I just bought a set and paid $110 from Teva so lesson learned!:banghead: Figured I could save someone on here the cash. I don't work for footlocker or anything just thought I'd...
Nope... that is for the Hope Pro2 hub,mine is a Bulb. I already had the internal conversion kit for mine and got it installed but was worried about the spacers they sent with it slipping without knurls on them. It doesn't and is stiff as all get out now!
The old knurled sleeve fits on the non drive side but not on the Drive side....
Here are the New sleeves and the old ones...
This is the new 12mm sleeve and it does fit the drive side but it has no knurles on it to lock to the frame when tightened down.... Could this slip after tightening...
Sorry for bringing up such a dead thread but...I have a Hope bulb rear hub and I'm in the middle of installing it back on the bike. I just swapped out my qr axle with the Hope 12mm axle conversion kit,"New 12mm axle ,bearing and side sleeves. The axle and bearing went in no problem... My...
Didn't even see him till I was rolling off the grind box. I would have liked to Monster Truck his AZZ but I was about 20 years older than him. Wouldn't have looked good on my part. Just shook it off and told him to pay a little more attention next time.
Spoke too soon! Went to the skate park today and some kid took me out on roller blades! I hopped onto a grind box and on exit he snaked my line from behind as I was riding off it. Didn't even see what the hell happened till I was on the ground! Trust me... It'll get it's fair share of scratches...
Got a great deal on a 11 STP1 I've been looking for a large for some time now and it just arrived Friday! Ditched the gears and waiting for the rest of my parts to come in but here it is now. Didn't even have a scratch on it anywhere. Might have been ridden 3 or 4 times at most.
Talk about squirting blood out... Slipped a pedal at the skate park hopping a grind box to manual. Came out of the manual to hop back off the grind box and slipped it in the air,came down 2.5 ft with my leg in between the pedal and the ground.
Tore a 3" chunk of my skin along with it and took...
I had a VF2. It was a great fork and worked fine. The only thing that ever went out was the oils seals after 2 years and that's a very easy fix. Use thicker oil than stock as it will cure the top out problem they had with the stock oil. Mine when new, would top out like crazy, in any of the...
One of my friends has a Covert and loves it. He rides it on XC trails, light DH runs and he's super fast on it. His is around 31 pounds with a Rock Shox Lyric up front and a Rock Shox Pearl in the back.
I'd say go for the Covert if you want a bike that can do it all.
I've run Codes for almost a year now and they have plenty of modulation! Tons of stopping power or just scrub off speed with one finger. They are the best brake I've ever used.
Their not overly heavy for what your getting either,never had any break chatter or anything of the sort. Just raw...
It's not the size of the stem that matters,It's how you ride the bike!:shocked: All kidding aside.... I run a 50 on my Blitz II, a 50 on my Giant STP, and a 70 on my trail bike. 50's are perfect for all but climbing. If you have a short top tube, you might have to stay with a 70 for trail riding.
Titec El Norte Prolite
This seat works well for me. Very comfortable,solid and lite. It doesn't have a super abrasive cover, so it's easy to move around on. The only hang up is it's not under $50.00 but you can find them for about $60.00 if you look hard enough.
I also like the WTB Power V...
Top tube for fit,Wheelbase for the style of riding you do. DH I like a longer wheelbase. It's more stable at speed, but won't carve turns as well. I like a shorter wheelbase for Fr. It corners better, but not as stable at speed.
My Stinky had long chain stays and it felt good, till I got my...
