2015 New dh rides thread - no enduros because kickstand hates them
- Thread starter kickstand
- Start date
I thought it was pretty cool that the bike comes with a cassette block so you can run it as a 7 speed too, im running a 10 speed and a dropper post tho
i cant believe no one has posted a thread yet with that 'invisible' rear shock rig on PB earlier.
elastomers, man
I can take it back now
Any aluminium frame will restore the impression!
What a bike! Drool
That thing is mental! Congrats! Ia m definitely jealous! Size? Weight? Maybe a little review of the Summum?
Oh, das Batmobil auf ridemonkey. Nice

Try it with a 26" in back. It completely transforms that bike (for the better).
really?? I had the 26" version before this one and loved it, I have an old 26 wheel lying around I could try for fun. Have you tried this?
Does it make it rad for the hucks like when the Demo had 24" rear wheel, bro?
Yes, I've tried all relevant 27.5/26 combos. It makes a massive difference. Setup 27.5/27.5 the bike feels like an overgrown AM bike in terms of geo - too high and steep in comparison to running a 26" rear. With the 26 in back it feels like a proper DH bike.

Same old thing for now. Double barrel added in the off season cause I could never get my RC4 to feel right.
If you're going to troll, you have to at least be funny

2015 Darkside. Technically maybe a downduro, due to 180mm rear, but it´s all I´ve got.
Cockpit: Thomson bars, Chromag grips, Mondraker stem, Thomson post, Chromag saddle
Drivetrain: Hadley hubs/Subrosa rims(26"), Saint shifter, Zee RD, Zee brakes,Saint cranks
Damperz: CCDBA CS, Dorado Pro fork
Rubbers: Magic Mary TS back, Dirty Dan VS front. Toobless at the moment, but the rear will probably receive some inner rubber treatment.
The bike pedals extremely well for what it is, have yet to actually ride it outside the back yard and neighborhood. Nice trails around here, though.

Damn that sucks......Have you thought about just a trail bike? Take it easy for 6 months or so? The MEGATRAIL I had was very capable.
Got my son a 2014 Nukeproof Pulse Comp about a month ago. He is loving it so far.
Breaking it in at Bryce Resort in VA.
