Yup. I had to pay for my own ring!
2009 EVIL Revolt: T-minus 10... 9... 8...
- Thread starter S.K.C.
- Start date
where are you based?
born in SF, raised in millbrae and bmx'd in san jose. now i'm in daly city so i'm pretty lucky to be close to the trails...have a bottlerocket now (first full suspension) and from tagging along with bigger suspension buddies, i've come to the realization that i'm ready for her.
I'll just name her infidelity from now on to avoid any confusion.
and to keep the feel good going, this thread has been quite informative...so many thanks to all.

Our vows included that she could get whatever she wanted as long as she let me get whatever bike part that I wanted no matter what. That is why the 303R is around 36lbs.
She will soon be getting a Corsair Maelstrom with CCDB and Totem.
Better than a pre nup since all 200 people heard it and we have it on tape.
damn black ano looks nice.
I really love the black one ¡¡¡
the black ones look alot better that the white ones IMO....
nice bikes
nice bikes
they look "more evil"
My gfriend told me the other day that she thinks it only fair that I get an "engagement present" as well. 
(maybe that's just her trick to get me to pop the question sooner?)
Oh yeah........the black Revolt looks HOT HOT HOT! Do I have to start a Faction thread when mine shows up?

You're going to be riding this Evil till death do part.

I tried to pull this on my wife (fiance' at the time). She looked at me like I was retarded and said, "You get me."
I told her, "You get me... AND a ring. How is that fair."
She was... displeased... with my statement.
I made the same deal. She had to buy me as much gear as the ring cost
Has anyone tried to change a shock out on this bike? With mine but there's a whole lot of lock tight and the black aluminum through bolt on top is stuck in the steel shock bushing. ... on the bottom the steel bushing is rotating around the black aluminum inner piece wearing through the anodizing. The DU bushing is doing nothing because it's seized. I'm hoping with more riding things start to free up.
Anyone else have trouble? or figure out an easy way to change the shock?

Sheeat. I'd be on a full blown evil if that was the case thenI made the same deal. She had to buy me as much gear as the ring cost
I have had my shock completely off the day that I build my bike up and then had the top bolt out again when I rerouted by brake line and didn't have any problem with it either time. I'm sure Todd will jump in and give you a hand. He's been very helpful with my questions.
If I had my bike nearby I'd check to make sure how it is done but I'm in Utah and my bike is in Washington.

Good to know, so maybe mine is just a fluke. Also are you getting any creaking and squeaking from the linkage? Mine has been extremely loud today. I'm wondering if this is going to be on going issue or if it came out of the factory without grease and it's an easy fix.I have had my shock completely off the day that I build my bike up and then had the top bolt out again when I rerouted by brake line and didn't have any problem with it either time.

Alloy - just prolly have to tap it out some and throw a dab of grease on there. They should have a lil bit from the factory but if you rode in the wet or got at it with a hose it might have washed off. The creakies could be this. Also check your shock spring and adjuster. Sometimes a thin swipe of grease btwn these can cure creaks.

Thanks Todd, rode the bike all the day and it got better and better. It's still a bit creaky, but I'm hoping things have broken in and it will come apart with hand tools so I can get some grease in there.

sick, nice riding Alloy!
so whats everyone using to get the non-drive BB cup off and on? I have a Park BBT9 but that doesnt work at all. i also have a Shimano half-moon BB wrench,TLFC32, but cant get enough torque to take the cup off
der, nm. with the shock off or the swingarm raised its a little easier....duhhh
Make sure you're turning it the right way
Also, if you take the shock out and move the swingarm up you can get a bit more leverage/ tool on the bb cup I found. I like the socket type bb removers myself (truvativ, shimano, straitline, etc all make ones that you can attach to a breaker bar / wrench.)
Same here - like the Park BBT-19.
im 6'3" and the large feels fine. i think the XL would have too long of a reach...at least for me
you're not 6'3"! You're my height and i'm barely 6'1". Or you just slouch a lot

I'm almost positive that the logos on the black ano are decals. Kevin and Todd are pretty excited to be able to offer multiple colors with the frame. The prototypes I've seen did nit have graphics and look good.
anyone have any recommendations to get the rear flip chips out? im a bit hesitant to bang em out, but dont see another way now
I just popped mine out with a light blow from my trusty rubber persuader..
did ya use a screwdriver from the back side or did you just smack the front of it?
the last frame was easier, but this one seems a lot tougher
edit: man i coulda made a comment about that "rubber persuader" but i held back. youre welcome
double edit: flips chips are officially super fcking stuck
