if you don't like people calling you spoiled, then don't spread the word that you don't have a job and do hw and ride all day. i still don't understand how any of this response justifies your previous statements or makes them sound any less asshole-ish. you say that you do all your parents ask you to do, but that doesn't make anything sound better since they don't want you to do much in the first place. don't use your gpa to justify it either, i guarantee you there are other people on this board that have a better gpa than you. if the only reason you are trying in school is because you're just doing what your parents tell you to do so you can get rewarded, you have some serious self re-evaluation to do.
i race out here in monterey, santa cruz, no need for the big travel so i rock this, its about 37-38
wow this devolved fast. nice bike eren, don't get so defensive, but also, seriously guys, calling somebody a spoiled peice of **** because their parents help them pay for their bikes or whatever is totally uncalled for.
pretty much every subsequent thing that people in this thread said made things worse, maybe chill out.
back on topic....
i heard that the new ironhorse race downhill bike will be a singlepivot with 11 inches of travel with a 2.25in stroke shock, and the frame will weight 16 lbs. It will be called "Crusher"
lets see some sub 40 lb builds of THAT baby!

that wasent serious right?
first of all
i DO! have a job and i stated that. i work at a cycle shop
and second
i said, about all i pay for is my bikes.
and cool, i know people have higher gpa's, i was just saying what they want. and i dont do it for them, i do it for myself, so i ca graduate from a good college, and so i can make enough money someday to be able to afford the expensive lifestyle of mountain biking. Its for me not them.
read my posts in this thread before you read the one bad one and go off on me. everything you stated was false, i have a job, pay for my bikes, and get good grades for myself and my future
sorry for ripping on you about the job part, my bad, that and paying for your bikes will kind of go hand in hand (at least in most cases). just the way you had phrased things earlier made it seem to me like you were just trying to appeal to your parents so they'll buy you stuff. if you do pay for your own bikes, then how did your parents get involved in this sh!tstorm?
why can't you just leave him well enough alone. most of the misunderstanding, with exception of one comment Eren himself admitted was in poor taste, was because you an a few others, in your haste to call him a spoiled brat, completely missed the part were he said he works in a shop and gets a deal from turner. He wouldn't seem so spoiled if you did a better job reading his posts in the first place.
in short: go back to posting pictures.
i've never weighed it, but it's not heavy.

But that's okay, not everyone is fortunate enough to experience Sunday pride.

Factory frames come with a DHX, World Cup completes come with a Vivid. Hence the need to have a Vivid compatible lower link.
i don't see the need for them to make 2 links if they can make one that's compatible with both shocks
i though all the new sundays came with vivids, so i was wondering where it was. i though the factory frames comes with a vivid? the couple i have seen here came with a dhx and the old lower link, go ride states that the factory frame comes with a vivid. typo?
yea, probably a typo, ih web site says dhx.

My sunday factory came with a Fox DHX 5...but i'm waiting on delivery for a Vivid and CCDB...not that there is anything wrong with DHX...but i would have liked it with the vivid as I have a Kona Stab with a FOX. I was told that all the factory frame sets where spec with DHX's and only the world cup complete bikes had Vivids...but it wouldn't suprise me if that were to change later in the year.
that is very true poonstar, but the only problem is that the early production sunday framesets will not accept a vivid. they need a special recces in the link to accomodate on of the adjuster knobs. although i do hear that will be available.
HOT ride! 35.9 is sick...maybe one day my sunday will loose some fat and get there too lol.The Official Iron Horse Sunday/DW-Link Tech. & Tuning Section p. 75, courtesy of Acadian:that is very true poonstar, but the only problem is that the early production sunday framesets will not accept a vivid. they need a special recces in the link to accomodate on of the adjuster knobs. although i do hear that will be available.
it will fit but you need to bust out the dremel and hand files and mod the lower link. you just need to file a bit of material to clear the resi.
Obviously IH does not officially recommend this modification, but it would take someone special to mess it up.
That is sofaking nice man!
As for the XT cranks its all up to how you ride. I have been riding some rocky tracks down here and haven't had a problem yet, if I do Gravity Lights fit the bill for a replacement pretty nicely.
How different is the CCDB to the DHX on that frame?
Within 10 meters I could tell a difference. The Cane Creek shock felt glued to the ground. A little hard to get used to really. I am used to hopping the Socom over most obstacles. For the first couple days I made adjustments every run and dialed the shock in to be a little more lively. I can't imagine anybody being unsatisfied with a Cane Creek, as you can adjust it to do anything and the damping is so amazing. Even running a lighter spring than the Fox it almost never bottoms.
more pictures please
Wurd!!more pictures please
That Socom is Perfect!!
What in the hell how whould a white lg-1 be louder then a black. Very nice bike though.
I totally agree. Its so white and pristine.
If the Pope rode downhill THAT would be the bike he would ride!
Many plastics show a noticable difference in durometer and durability with changing amounts (colors) of pigments. You will a lot of times see a 'sales sample' of some product in clear, yet that product would never last without pigment.
Ski/snowboard boots and bindings are shown with clear outers....but NEVER sold as such due to the lack of pigment. Skateboard wheels are are significantly harder in lighter colors, and softer/more durable in darker colors...etc.
Ah alright i get that, thanks.
you look mean
quit with the mean muggin
Jonny5,
