40lb post! DH/FR Rigs around the 40lb mark! tips, pics, specs
- Thread starter bullcrew
- Start date
How does it ride? Are you sponsored or did you buy it outright? I can't imagine it being as good as it has been hyped, with such a low pivot. I bet it feels like it turns fast though. How is it on the brakes? Any squat? Rough tracks(square edge hits)does it buck and bounce a lot? Does look great.
My Trek Session 88. Weighing in at 40 and a bit pounds with Intense 4 ply rubber in the rear. Looking for 38 ish with my DH16's run tubeless.
Will also be putting new style Saint cranks on when the 165's become available.
Tempted by some 09 Deemax wheels in pimpy silver too

Pacifica?
oh yea
Go-ride has them from like a month.
I think there was also painted exactly like this one in the classfields section
I have the 09 frame with 08 paint, it was a preproduction thing as far as I know, maybe my 'contact' can clear that up if I'm incorrect. I got mine through one of their 'preferred east coast distributors'.Go-ride has them from like a month.

i've heard it's team only, weird. got mine coming in january though
friend got his from commencal a week ago and it was white, but talked to my bike shop and they said its pre production. strange
As far as I know the frames that we have (all 3 of us from the baltimore area) are what they're calling preproduction, meaning they have the 08' team style paint job as well as swingarms that have a problem that needed to be fixed before the general release.
what's wrong with the swingarm?
edit: any problems with the ones you're running?

Nothing serious as of yet, but there was a rumour there may be some cracking in the welds around the dropouts due to a problem during heat treating. They've since remedied this.
I've personally have had some problems with the pivots loosening up, though thats more than likely due to normal break in of the bearings. Plus, if the bike is being taken care of its not a stretch to do a bolt check before every ride.
The bike is rad, and I love the hell out of mine. This thing is the real deal as far as dh race bikes goes.

Thanks a lot, I am in love with this bike. My last bike was an 06 Kona Stab, so switching over to this has made a world of difference. It's a good 8 or 9 pounds lighter, which is noticeable to say the least.

Where do you get a 31.5 inch sunline bar? Their site says widest is still the 29.5

Any qualified machinist/mechanic should be able to weld you up some extensions... I'm assuming that's what those are.
New Demo 7 - 2008 frame, with a lot of the stuff from my Norco Team DH (from earlier in this thread). 38.82 as she sits.
New lowers on the forks
SLX cranks
E13 ring
Hope Pro 2 hub
I have some Ashima rotors to fit which will drop 1/4 of a pound, and a Ti spring in the works which will do a similar lightening.
It would be nice to match a Hope hub on the front with the same rim, which would save me another 1/3 pound, but that will have to weight (<< ;-) )
Super low and nice and light. This is my third Demo (05 and 06), i didn't like the weight in the back end feel to the previous bikes, but didn't realise until i was able to ride one of the pre prod Bighit 3s with the 26" rear wheel. That design felt much more lively than the Demo, hence the Brodie Devo in 07 and the Norco TDH in 08. Hopefully the new design keeps the faith, but is more lively due to lower weight..
i call BULLSH!T
What color is this?37.4
your front rotor is installed backwards

does that effect the performance of the brake or strength in a way?
yea. technically
I just bought these super light-weight 30 inch bars this guy machined. He said he would machine anything for you as long as you give him the money.
He has a video of his shop. It has a weird intro to it.

you dont machine bars 
did you watch the video?you dont machine bars
not at all
Muwahaha!
Give it up dude, seriously.
I call time for humble pie.
I have a pair of ashima rotors for it which i will try and install in the right direction
which will drop just under 1/4lb.I got my Norco down to just under 38, but my budget is a little tighter now.
