Yup, I've already spec'd Shimano on my past/current builds, I like the idea of 7spd on the cassette for DH. but I'm not gonna switch to sram just because of it. maybe 2015 Shimano??
Motomike-
How much do you weigh? If you get one post up what you think of it. I haven't seen any input from anyone that has actually done this. I'm about 150-155 lbs
I'm in the same boat as you. Currently have a trek fuel but looking for something a little more and can still pedal. I decided I'm gonna build up a covert. Probably not until the summer though. Still debating on if I'm gonna keep the fuel or not though as well. It's an awesome bike and would be...
I actually had a 32mm socket in my toolbox, not sure from what but it came in handy! Good to see it's fairly easy to adjust the compression ratio, I changed it to full linear. Taking it out for the first ride tonight. Unfortunately taking it easy as I'm coming off of sprained ankle.
Lelandjt-...
thanks for the tips on the starting point, I'll start there and I'll switch it to full linear, need to get a socket for the top cap.
Kntr- you running 3 and 5 clicks out from closed?
Hey guys, just picked up my 40 Float from my lbs yesterday. Looking for some starting points in setup. It's a new build so don't have anything to compare it with.
I'm 150 lbs, on a trek Session 9.9
Tuumbaq- I saw you were about 150 too, are you still using your settings you posted above...
yeah air is definitely getting thinner up there. well still waiting on my fork to arrive so not sure how much my bike will weigh but it may just be around 33-34lbs. Baños looks to have some DH trails, sweet! Google has some vids in that area with potential, a lot of dual crown bikes. things are...
sweet! I'll look at those areas. I plan on heading down in February to visit family in Guayaquil and definitely bringing my bike just on the fact that it has so much potential. I found a video last night and there was a clip of people with there bikes on a tram, no idea where it was though.
How...
Has anyone done or heard much about DH options in Ecuador? I'd imagine there are some sweet areas given the mountains/volcanoes I don't have much info.
Thinking about visiting so looking at what all I want to do while I'm there.
I've done some google searches but most results that include...
Sweet deal, I ordered the Saints over a month ago for the same price from a uk site but would have rather ordered from jenson. With that being said, I had no issues with mine and it was BNIB.
I ended up with the Hope floating rotors FWIW. But I think most rotors will have similar performance...
Kntr - lucky! did you order online or from Fox/lbs?
Lelandjt - I was told the same about the August 15th date but I heard yesterday they are still waiting on parts so haven't been able to complete the new batch and will now be 1st to 2nd week of September. I ordered mine in beginning of July...
Also lookin like mid September for the 40 float from fox, unless you have a shop with them already in stock. But if you're not in a hurry then it doesn't matter
