with the suspension design and the settings that are on it i
don't think i will need to upgrade it at all.
well stoked, now i just need to get her dirty
Sweet bike, but it looks like your front brake cable is just waiting to get snagged on something.
Is it just me or is there a 6 inch rotar in the back?
I don't see any rotars, but it does look to me like there is a 6 inch rotor in the back.
I run two six inch rotors on my 45+ pound dh bike.
I like to think that'll keep me going fast -- ignore that being out of control part. Speed is what matters.

the bike needs some fine tuning, i was just in a rush to get her up and running.
The cable needs to be cut down and yes that is a 6 inch - don't use your brakes all the time do you :biggrin:
I'm going to be a real weight weenie with this.
New rims, double butted spokes, lighter tubes and tyres, ti spring blah blah

Very cool indeed! The DW-Link on the chainstay is also in the "metal lord" font and if you could see a close-upI don't see the "Maiden" Influence, do you?

of the top tube, you would see it's a cassette tape with powerslave scribbled on it. 
How does the I-Beam Bel Air feel, Ive been considering upgrading to I-beam...
I beam = snap
The I-Beam feels pretty good, a little had but the suspensions makes up for it.
New to the thread, or at least new to posting so don't sue me if I'm going about this the wrong way but I have a serious question about my brand new 7.5 and was hoping someone could help.
At the top of the suspension (fully extended with no weight) there is a very small dead spot with a clunk at the top. Meaning, if you are riding over bumps, when the suspension becomes fully extended there is what sounds like a metal on metal clunk. Also, you can duplicate the sound by standing off the bike, holding the rear tire down with your foot and quickly pulling up on the seat or frame. Clunk Clunk Clunk.
All ready sent the Progressive 5th Elemnt shock back to Progressive for a rebuild but the bike makes the same noise. I'm still not convinced that it's not the shock making the noise but diagnosing it seems to be near impossible.
Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction.
Thanx Joe

Are you running a chainguide? Check to see if the bommerang has rotated and is contacted the chainstay. I've had this problem several times on my '05 (without ISCG mounts). The boomerang will take an impact rather than the bash and "slip" pushing the lower arm of the boomerang (by the roller pulley) into the chainstay. More info may be found here as well - http://forums.mtbr.com/forumdisplay.php?f=40 Good luck!

Thanx, that's definitely not the problem. Spent an hour going through it with pretty hi-end mechanic. There is definitely nothing visible making contact. It's definitely one of the pivot points, bushings (pivot hardware) or the shock itself.
