2015 New dh rides thread - no enduros because kickstand hates them
- Thread starter kickstand
- Start date
Please let us know, when your review goes live.
Not in the market for another DH bike at the moment, but in 1 or 2 years maybe. And then everyone will ride 27,5+ bikes and these will be as cheap as it gets.
Oh, and don't forget to use suncream on the frame!
Got her put together pretty much the way I want her. Only things to change in near future is Ti spring and would like to get the tires set up tubeless.

I only have a ride on a jump trail, but plan on taking her to Windrock tomorrow and Snowshoes this weekend. Windrock will give me a lot better feel for her.
So far on the jumps though, it is very stable and I am liking it! I will for sure post more feedback on it once I get a few rides in and when she has had a little better suspension set-up.

Windrock'll be a good place to test it for sure! Gonna monster truck it through southern rocks? 
Probably not in the rain tomorrow! haha It about takes a monster truck to go through Southern Rocks anymore.

Is that a medium size? Really nice rig, the mudguard would be nicer in black, though.
Yes it is a medium, and I thought the same for the mudguard. I need to get some black material to make it up with first.

I have been riding Tues CF with Boxxer and Vivid. I had 26" Tues with Bos suspension before it. New Tues is great bike, more playful and easier to ride than old one. Super stable at speeds and rails corners like no bike I have ridden. What spring rates You are running in rear shock? I'm 90kg and getting 325 spring. Hope it's good. I have stiff spring in Boxxer now and thinkin I need extra stiff.
I guess I have to drill bolt out from axle, bolt nut ripped off.
Mine did too, they changed it to a steel one. They told me it is not required, just there for safety. I ran without one for a couple of rides no problem, just torque your axle correctly.
I would check ace hardware though. Their customer service has been top notch for me.

I had a 2014 Fuzz and loved it. I took advantage of the Canadian dollar and snagged a 2015 leftover frame for cheap monies. Frame is new, wheels, tires, shifter, derailleur all new. Everything else was just bolted over. I know my seat is sky high, I just took it out of the stand. Can't wait to drink the 650b kool aid this Saturday at Thunder.

Very nice! Jealous I can't make it.
Scraper Bike 2016, completely unrideable BOS suspension due to inferior air springs so decided to lower it using airbags and run it down the Venice boardwalk.

hella flush
Like a sunburned fat person, its heavy, red and is often found near cheap beer & badly burned brats
Picked this up in the fall off of a local college kid. Haha, life is good when you're no longer a broke college kid with expensive hobbies.

Got this thing built up late last season--looking forward to really breaking it in this year. No changes planned aside from putting on the DX pedals I ordered over the winter.
Almost halfway through 2016, and we have <5 new DH bikes in the forum to show off. Half of the show-off DH bikes are just freshened up old bikes.
But the Trenduro showboat is going strong....

did you buy that from team robot
got a clt crew headed up to snowshow for opening day in a few weeks...would be a good break in if you haven't already hit bailey or massanutten...
Nope. Bought the frame new and unused from a diamondback employee.
I am keeping the same rig for the long haul. I missed last season with injury, so it is still like new.
That's dope.
4 days on this thing so far in 2016. Gearing up for many more. 2nd day, dented the sh!t out of the seat stay 
^^^ nice
What's your take on RCS Ti springs? Did you save much weight? Are they worth the money?
