Sweet bike, but you should flip that shock around for a little less unsprung weight.

Ooft, you Aussies like to get over the front don't you?! Looks like your noggin would be past the front axle riding that, I like it!

I'm 6'2 so I love the feel of a 60-65mm stem on my DH bikes. It helps tons with cornering technique and especially drifting...

Its just a 50mm havoc stem, inverted to make it lower. The bars actually sit lower than the top of the boxxer crown with this setup.

Well I'm done, I've tried everything to achieve the sub 40 bike and I've failed. Mind you I haven't changed the fork, crankset, or rear shock (partial to these brands) and I know that's what's preventing me from entering the elusive sub 40 dh bike category. After installing a set of new avid carbons, grips, sunline stem, easton cnt handlebar, smaller rear rotor and changing the oil in my fork I went from 41lbs 8 oz to 40lbs 3 oz.

 

[Lollapalooza]

You could get it below 40 by swapping the pedals to Mg-1's.

 

[Bernard]

here's mine:

17.1 kg = 37.6 lbs

You could get it below 40 by swapping the pedals to Mg-1's.

Also take the taco off the guide and if you can safely cut the seat post down that will shave some weight.

 

[Rick205]

Bernard, is that an xtr chainset on an 83mm bb shell?

If so, care to enlighten us as to how you achieved that?

Awesome bike by the way!

It is in the sunday thread up top. He removed the bb adjust/preload collar from the non-drive side arm.

look at the drink that is holding the bike up in one of the pics... before you were able to buy that drink can, it was called an Arnold Palmer at the country clubs.... still kind of is, but on the can they call it a Half and Half...

mmmmmm get a huge one of those at the turn, youre gonna be playing good for another nine...



is 44-45 pounds acceptable for this thread? i want to show off my baby some more!

 

[cheetaprowlerDH]

NICK, you like those Vanilla DH's dont you.... hard to find those anymore, how do they perform?

 

[bullcrew]

Didnt see that!
I saw those at the mini mart recently.
Anyhow i will now let go of my ricky bobby and stop slapping my .50 cent.

44 should be fine.. As long as you put plans to lighten it up.

 

[tsamps]

Bernard, how do you like the dhx air on a sunday?

wellgo mag pedals, ghetto tubeless with michelin tires and some fsa gravity lite cranks and you'll be around 38-39

 

[Bernard]

It is in the sunday thread up top. He removed the bb adjust/preload collar from the non-drive side arm.

I removed the adjust/preload collar and did'nt use any spacer on the BB. This gives just enough room for the left crank to be fully bolted on the axle. I've got 4 mm space on both sides between the inside of the crank and the outside of the swingarm. The sunday gives lot's of room here, but I doubt if this will fit any other bike (I'm pretty sure it won't fit the M3). Getting the chainline right was a bit harder. I had to file the inside of the spider a bit(took the 22th chainring studs completely off) and I rubbed out the chainring.
At this point I can't tell if the cranks are going to hold, but I'll post some comments later this season.

Bernard, how do you like the dhx air on a sunday?

I really can't say at this point as I didn't use it yet. It feels different than a spring shock. With the right amount of sag, I'm blowing through the travel a lot faster than I used to do with a springshock. But I still have to play with the pressure and bottom out settings.
My first comment is you've to unbolt the shock on the sunday to add pressure to the air chamber.

 

[PDS RX]

My socom, comes in at 38.30, I get my ti spring and 11-21 dura-ace cassette end of the week and will update then

 

[mattmatt86]

Are those Formula's "The One"? Just curious about some initial first impressions.

 

[cheetaprowlerDH]

yeah, i plan to do some changes to lighten it up once i can get money enough for it... i'll shoot for 43 i need strong parts, i dont have jack $h!t to throw around money wise:biggrin:

my baby weighed 44 on a slightly dysfunctional scale in m garage:

she just has a 450# spring on the back up from a 350 and now has a DH24 back there too for a tire... probably neutral weight gain/loss there...

 

[Covenasty]

My liitle lady comes in at 43.8... if i could only get the pic to show up
