It's not compatible out of the box. But clearly a clever person can figure it out.

shaping up to be a sick ride!
How's turning the bars with the Dorado? doesn't feel limiting or any strange issue so far?
BOOMSLANG
Is the Dorado alright to use on the new demo? Any insight at all? I've been thinking of putting one on my bike...
Irony, picking up a bike that i ordered for FOXROX, anybody who hasnt seen 1 in real life, they are VERY bright
I've noticed the cable rub on the rear tire as well. Mine did not come with the straddle clip. Is this something I can get from our SBC rep?
Other than this very minor annoyance, I think the routing is well thought out and clean looking. I'm not a fan of internal cable routing. Makes a simple job of replacing a cable that much harder.
im not sure what you mean? do you mean the turning radius? seems as if it goes far enough, i didnt get a chance to sit on it or ride it though
thank you
i owe you!
Correct, turning radius. Were the 40 bumpers for increased turning radius? or were they for increase protection from denting?im not sure what you mean? do you mean the turning radius? seems as if it goes far enough, i didnt get a chance to sit on it or ride it though
Dude, I know it can be a BIT of a pain to replace a cable when they're internal but come on, were talking about an extra 30 seconds maybe ?
The cable routing on the Demo is BY FAR the worst looking Ive seen in a long time, certainly NOT a clean job and looks completely ghetto compare to other frames...Doesnt mean it doesnt do the job right but to say it was well thought and clean looking is a joke I'd say.
I love that "Kawa" green Demo... looks fast
Another green demo came in today for me, pics in a month when it is done
Looking forward to hearing your ideas for alternate routing.
yay! now this thread can die.
Anybody else have trouble fitting i9s properly? It fits on, but the cone touches the frame "early" so that the end of the hub doesnt touch the frame, do i grind? leave alone?
You will have to grind it down unless you want to wait until sometime in the summer to get a replacement. I dont think it would be a good idea to leave it as it is since it will not preload or hold the hup properly. I had the same problem with my I9 and i just filed it down, my Burgtecs were even worse.
Frame or hub thinger. And you said new links come in the summer?
Picked up my large white and red. I cant believe I actually have it. Ironic thing is I ordered a Glory since I figured the Demo will never show. After the Glory was I was literraly talking with a coworker and got an email about the Demo coming. Never got to ride the Glory.
Build will be as follows. Pics tomorrow.
Demo 8 large red/white
Manitou Dorado (need to remove the decals)
Full Saint
Mavix EX823s laced to Sun Ringle hubs
Easton Havoc Stem
Renthal bars
Syntace seatpost
Might replace the RC4 with a CCDB
Curious to see how much it weighs.

Demo 9: I did it on the frame you could possibly do it on the hubs but i think that would be quite a bit more hassel and i dont know if its even possible on the I9 end nut and still keep it functional. Specialized sad that they would repalce the dropout frame part, but that wasnt until the summer sometime and thats even if they do it.
Quick question for those that may know.
I should be building my frame up in the next few days and I will be installing the BB adapters myself. I read that the a similar kit from Truvativ says to use lock tight for a permanent install. Does this go the same for the kit that comes with the frame set? I figured it would install like a head set but I wanted to be sure. Thanks.

I had the same problem with my Burgtecs, the end cap had to be Dremeled to get the hub to sit in the 'slot' in the frame. Also modded the shock yoke to fit a Vivid coil. No problems with either so far..
The press in cups do install like a headset, but instaed of grease you should use some green loctite. It is for slip fit applications, I don't remember the mfg # off hand.
It will not be permanent, you will still be able to remove the cups.
Can those of you running Saint cranks provide any helpful tips on how best to use the PF30 adapter?
Is there enought thread for 83mm cups? It looks like it will be a bit short.

Mine threaded on just fine. I think I used one nondrive side spacer
BB install went kinda sketchy. Directions say to have the BB installed in the adapters while you press it in. The last few millimeters made a lot of small popping noises. I hope I didn't F-up my saint bearings. Other than that everything went well. Came in at 38.4 lbs. Over a pound lighter then my 2009 Demo 8.

How many bb spacers did you use?
When i went to install mine today the drive needed two. Any less and the bb cup would bottom out. Thinking I might need XT cups.

I put 2 drive, 1 non drive between the demo adapters and the saint BB
nothing between the adapters and the frame
looks perfect to me

I just followed the Shimano manual and did one for the non-drive side and two on the drive side.
Same as above.

Anybody know wtf spesh was trying to tell us with taking apart the bearings and putting in all sorts of weird washers and things-i ignored it, but what is the deal?
The spacers are for the BB30 press fit adapter that you would have to order seperately if you want to run descendants or other truvativ style cranks. You don't need them for xtr/saint cranks and cups. My build went fine with no issues. I am running saints with 2 drive spacers and one non drive.
Thanks for clearing up the spacer issue!
My complete Demo 8 has the pressfit30 to BSA SRAM BB adapter installed. Helping with building up another 011 Demo 8 from the frameset up tomorrow.
That build will use a Howitzer 83mm BB for Holzfeller cranks. Not sure if the BB30 adapter that comes with the frameset is the same SRAM adapter as on the completes? I am guessing it is not. For GXP type BB's they have a specific spacer on each cup side.
Just trying to wrap my head around what is needed for a Howizter BB setup. Any heads up is mucho appreciated.
Answered my own question from pics I just received of the BB adapter from the frameset. Spacers refer to the thin 3 x plastic washers and wavy washer needed for GXP type BB. Holzfeller Howitzer BB should install as normal with one 2.5mm cup spacer drive side.
Hmmm the black and gold was supposed to be the Canadian OEM color from what I understood. Is it anodized?
Theres only 4 oem colors in the Canadian catalogue for 2011.
Demo 8 II = Red/White
Demo 8 I = Red/Black
Demo 8 Frameset = -Flo Yellow/Black
-Red/White
-Project Black
