- Thread starter bullcrew
- Start date
Well it's been posted here before but what the hell.
Pictured build;
Frame: Sinister R9
Fork: Boxxer WC
Shock: Fox DHX 5.0/steel spring
Headset: King
Stem: E.13 Ali
Bars: Sunline V-One low rise
Grips: Sunline thin grips
Cranks: Shimano XT
Shifter/derailer: Sram X.0
Cassette: Shimano Ultegra
Chain: Sram PC991 hollow pin
Guide: E.13 LG-1 w/ taco and E.13 chain ring
Brakes: Shimano Saint calipers / XT reservoirs & Dangerboy levers
Pedals: AtomLab AirCorps
Saddle: SDG I-Fly
Post: SDG I-Beam
Wheels: Hope Pro II's laced to Mavic 721's w/ Dt Comp. spokes and brass nipples
Tires: Maxxis Minion DHF's 2.5 w/ DH tubes
Pictured weight was 40.2lbs
Since then I've taken the XT cranks off (bad encounter w/ rock meeting my down tube and chainring) and replaced them w/ Saint cranks. Replaced the DH tubes for regular XC tubes to make up for the weight gained w/ the Saints. Lighter spring rate as well. No further problems, but haven't re-weighed. I'm betting it's right around the same ball park though.

those sinister are sweet bikes, they perform really well
I'm loving it. When I first got on it as far as small bumps felt I really couldn't believe the "floating" feeling the bike had. It corners amaizingly well too. Couldn't be happier.

Nice set up well thought out.
its a good solid set up, race bike all the way.
I went and spent alot more money, but if you work hard play harder. Plus my wife was kind enought to say spend as much as you want just get my a DH bike to

Ill be the only person to say this "man my family is going downhill fast"
I rode Jasons up at Snowshoe, I think he is ones of those JermanTown cycles riders and his felt really good
Nice & good setup...I have been consider it before but I afraid I am not capable to control the single pivot bike(currently I am riding Sunday).it could have been lighter with smaller cranks, lighter pedals, lg1, i beam carbon, carbon bar and bolt on stem, air shock and fork but i wanted reliability and a good solid feel(and cheaper...) so that's the setup i came up with
Hope can see you post out the action picture @ here!!
what do you mean by that?
That is confusing do single pivots require some high level riding certification.
i think he's just worried about break jack.
What does break jack do to the ride
is that an old 911 under cover?
my uzzi, just over 37lbs

How's that for just barely squeezing in under 41! A lighter post/seat will help followed by some gravity lights and I am done as can be (hoping to drop sub-39 after those). Amazingly enough, the whole bike weighed in at 33lbs before the tires and front rotor went on. I didn't expect the weight increase to be 7 pounds!

That sundays saweeet. the black and yellow looks good.
LMAO! Id rather ride the sunday!
hahaha... nicely played!
I just swapped my saddle for a sunline and the e13 is now a gamut (used ti bolts to mount the guard to the spider). .5lbs shaved off..40lbs, 5oz. So damn close to 39. This is getting silly.
Don't you have Singletracks? Those are butter compared to the 823's (Deemax are a 28 spoke version of them).
41.2 lbs
damn that is a sweet lookin bike
what is that thing?
Sweet like candy?
Already fixed. It sports an eThirteen now. Today was the maiden voyage for the new proto.looks funky to me, still a nice ride
