Broken steel that's scary and can't imagine what wall thickness they used...
2023 session HP DH rig

- Start date
Thankfully they realized their mistake (though their enduro frames are known for their cracking now) and they made future model years a bit heavier so you are no longer at risk of recreating Matrix 3 end scenes.
Oh hell crease and shear....that could have been a very bad situation.damn....
This era lol buddy Mike Weiser snapped his in half. 2010 951 tubes way to thin, this was right after the socom.
Well still better than that dude who had his fork lowers fall off doing a backflip
That happened here in Argentina, the stanchions broke in half after a bad landing.What about this
Going back through liked pictures on Pinkbike is a trip.
Dhs mono or 2.1 mono?
A friend overshot a road gap with a dhs tube and did a similar job to his dhs tube, and his front teeth....
@WestCoastHucker man that's a lot of distortion of the metal before failure...what gets me is the clean shear top and bottom almost like it was brittle...that foes at least has some distortion before total failure it tried to do its job lol (epic fail)...this is why I prefer round tubes but like a moth I keep going to the light...
Holy crap ..that's got a whole lotta "HELL NO!" Going on
Marzocchis being Marzocchis I guess... Didn't somebody on a 380 had the same happening to him at Rampage a few years ago?

Seems the ones with the ti-nitride coating were prone to snapping, while the espresso ones fared a bit better.
Maybe the chrome-like coating led to sticktion and increased leverage?

But somehow McGarry's didn't snap........though something else sure did, jesus christ, I forgot about this one...
Not broken, but sure not straight either.
Hey man, be cool.
I'm still riding a 888 Evo V2 Ti with the fancy chrome stanchions.
...but I gotz the dope extra slilppy skf green seals so I be good.
Self-jinxing is a Ridemonkey treat, just saying...Hey man, be cool.

DHS.
Swapped dh38 on sold fox 40, swapped the wheelset to the straight pull, cut and modified a chain guide, swapped x01dh cassette and der/shitf, did renthal carbon, hope v4 brakes, galfer 2.0 rotors and swapped Canfield cranks to SIXC
38lbs on the mark

Lmao forgot how hard it is to wheelie or.manual a DH bike with rearward travel...oh that's fun...NOT!
Man people are all over the board with this guy. I had the opposite problem. Lightweight rider, wants less compression damping, send him a totem to put an Avy cart in, thing comes back appropriately tuned for Nathan Rennie, who at that stage of his life was still fast as shit, but also weighed about 300 lbs.
When I told Craig I wanted less damping on both rebound and compression and not more, and I didn't think I should need to run 60% sag to use 80% of the travel, he flat out told me I was wrong.
And when I'm asking for shit on the phone I'm a polite motherfucker, I'm only tough on the internet.
Selling that fork and going to a 40 was the single biggest upgrade I've ever done on a bike.
Also, @bullcrew my 951evo has been an absolute shocker to me, I didn't expect to love it this much, I mainly just got it because it was cheap, but It's a really fuckin good bike. Which is funny because my other favorite DH bike I've ever owned was my old session 88. Although I respect what you have there is a totally different bike. Curious to know how you end up liking it.
First of "How the hell have you been?" Been a minute...
Lmao...that's funny....
Yeah I LOVE the 951 Evo it's an amazing do it all bike for park, freeride, jumping and ripping a nasty section..mine has a dropper , 1x12 and rfx 38 on it...I won't sell it...its way to diverse..
I had an old trek session back in day, rode good...
I am hoping this is just flat out fast in NASTY...it definitely isn't an all rounder like Evo...but man it is stable and planted. Yeah curious how it pans out too. Way more planted than my M9 and m16...maybe just go wide open and keep it there.
wait you sold the hybrid 40?
I'm surprised a man of your heft and strength is putting trust in those cranks.
Also fancy icon for your edging pieces on the padded mats, don't think I've seen those stick around for long.
I trip on em periodically lol..they get under foot now and then..you must have experience with those lol...I'm surprised a man of your heft and strength is putting trust in those cranks.

.I have a set of Canfield cranks as back up...heard good things about the SIXC....see how it goes...renthal carbon bars have been holding up for a couple years now and on some pretty good cases...I bench pressed a landing last year and I was surprised they held
Yep...got $2400 for it. Granted it was worth it I'm building another one..
Customer (high end shop) has $16k in his surron and wanted a 1 off fork....it'll be at the padres field for an event it has a padres theme and be a local SD bike for media and to the padres baseball team.

Got a ohlins cartridge coming as well as a guy who will make me the top cap for a fox 40 ...so I'll do a ohlins converted new fox 40...they had em but for the older top cap...older Boxxer and fox 40 ...

Where'd you find it? Always wanted one for my old 40 but they were discontinued before I decided to pull the trigger
Ohlins....they don't have any fox old caps left..so doing a new top cap and set up a 2023 chasis. I'll find a ti coil air conversion for it as well..
They have them for Boxxer still but the unit is the same end cap is different

Bull sometimes I wonder if your from an alternate universe
Those cranks might hurt you.
Seen ALOT of failures. Light slow riders breaking them. Not sure who would tell you good things about them brosers? (Bro posers)

I read several that said they held up decent, besides they didn't cost me anything so I might as well get my moneys worth out of em...
I know carbon is hard and when it fails it's catastrophic...I did opt for an aluminum frame and rims...but felt that was a bit to Karen, so I did carbon bars and cranks...lol
Wife's used to my hold my beer so i can see how this goes..
Just love trying stuff out.
We just started hyrox and love hammering down, going men's pro...

951 evo was similar to my all time favorite. 2009 uzzi vp. god damn i loved and miss that thing as my one do it all bike. with a van36 and ccdb it was perfection.
Last edited:
Never got to ride the uzzi...but yeah I can't agree more as per above
.the 951 Evo is just a fun bike....the original was a bit to harsh on ramp up, they nailed the set up on the EVO....I keep going through and trying to weed the bikes and it always makes the cut to stay...probably going to grab my kid one and mullet it as well ..it's more his style...
haha...my kid doesn't really ride a ton anymore (13yo now) but when he did i built him up a 27.5/26 tracer 2 with a ccdb air in back and a 36rc2 up front and he shredded it. lucky lil fucker!
