You can get a tare angle off the floor and re-calibrate. That will help anyways.
Would you mind if I asked how tall are you? I'm 5' 11" on a medium Banshee Spitfire and going by reach measurements, it seems like I might be more comfortable on a small Demo and not the medium, which might end up feeling too long for me.
410mm(SM Demo) vs 404mm(MD Spitfire).
not that accurate, of course, but good enough for my average riding skill
if your house is tilted, you got a bigger problem than head angle accuracy mate
will do the 180 / tare thing later, but so far it reads close to official specs of my other bikes, so.. i just ride.
BTW i'm about 5'8" (174cm) and rode a small demo 2006, 2007, 2010.. and with the 2011, i found the front end a bit too low so i use 10mm spacer below the upper crown.
Weight is exactly 17 kg (37.5 lbs) with 'not that accurate' digital fish scale : wc, xtr trail, steel spring + minion (ST ust & 3C stans)

i spy a CCDB
is that your bike? does the CCDB fit the fox rc4 yoke without modifications?
not mine, found it on PB, idk, but if im correct, that is a CCDb on there
It is, and it does...
I'm also interested in this as there is nowhere local with a bike to sit on but I have an order in for a medium frame.
Medium Session 88/TR450s are both 391mm reach. I'm 5' 10" and sessions/tr450s I've sat on felt a touch small so am thinking I should change my order to a small Demo?
Thanks for any help.
No. If you are 5" 10", you fit a medium. I'm 5" 9", and the small is SMALL when you straddle it. I couldn't imagine what riding Fraser's XS would be like...
Agreed. I am 5'10" and ride a med. It feels spot on. I came off of a med. Socom and the Demo's cockpit is definitely smaller than the Socom.

Thanks guys, medium it is then.
I thought reach should be consistent across all frames, still don't understand how I can fit a 430mm reach demo 8 and a 390mm TR450/session
. Still guess if it fits it doesn't matter about the numbers.John
I am 6'0 and came from a sunday which has the same reach as the tr450 and the 4cm increase is definetly noticeable, but since the stays a pretty short it kind of of sets the longer feeling. On a dh bike fitment isnt the important bit, its how you feel on the bike.
i pray you are not the fool not wearing a helmet
Redbull swag makes you invincible. Really, it does.
none are me
ill get mine in 2012 However, the description says that a shop in cali, has those 3 bikes, so idk if they are for sale, but... if so, maybe 3 of you westerners can get lucky.
Anybody else still waiting on this bullsh!t, i only ordered in september 
wanna buy my Demo frameset? never ridden. i'll offer it to you for $5000. 
than How can you ride a 2011 Demo in your signature if you still don't have the one you ordered in 2010?
oh lawdy this thread is STILL going on?
Haha, I thought it died 25 pages ago... Guess that's what I get for being a terrible lurker.
I would say the 300 lb. spring. I am the same and ordered the XS over the Small. Fit seems great as does the recommended sag setting.
Yeah I ordered black too. Oh well good things come....
yeah, not sure what these guys shop is telling them that they can "order" a black one. the black frameset doesn't even have a SKU in the dealer site yet. it has a part number for each of the sizes but no way to "place an order" so to speak.
Up here in Canadia, Specialized Canada is bringing in only a VERY limited number. I got the email from him last week saying the very latest that they'll be off the boat is mid-late May.
Just got my Demo 8 II a couple days ago. I still havent gotten the chance to ride it cause of the snow. How do the stock chain stay and seat stay protectors work? Should i rewrap them in velcro or a tube?
Check posts 84/85.
he's not talking about your dealer having it on their site, he's talking about specialized's dealer inventory/ordering site
Alright yeah ill admit i was too lazy to check 30 pages for it. thanks though
@ BOOMSLANG
I ordered a 2011 demo in hopes of being able to run the vivid air at some point soon, but i just got off the phone with specialized and they said that they stopped working on making that an option.
I know you said earlier that the mounts for the vivid air would be available soon is this still true?
I ran the fox rc4 on my 2010 demo and then switched it to the vivid air towards the end of the season and i really don't want to ride the Rc4 again.
