who did your mod kit for the remote dhx reservoir?
40lb post! DH/FR Rigs around the 40lb mark! tips, pics, specs
- Thread starter bullcrew
- Start date
Those DHR's came with the remote res DHX, no mod.
The DIRTy polished DHR
been spending much time stripping & polishing some ALU-tubing. Weight wise this is stupid because I only saved 50 gram total.
she weighs appr 39,2 pounds with 07 boxxer WC, EX721 on ProII hubs, formula k24.
The BB is at 13,53 inches after i did the new shock mount mod.

I meant compression. There is no high or low speed on DHX Air
Have You got aftermarket shock? Or factory tuned (like OEM Fox shocks)?
Finally got mine, hehe! Is got allready +100runs on Whistler in 15days and 3 races.
Weight on the picture 16.1kg or 35.5lbs, should drop some grams with lighter tubes for racing.
Fork: Boxxer WC
Shock RC4 with obtanium 300lbs
Wheels: Dee Max Ultimate
Tires: Minion 2.5 3C
Tubes: Intense 2.5" (just to make sure not flatting in Whistler)
Cranks and derrelleur: XTR
Pedals: Mallet 3
Brakes: Formula The one with 203mm discs
Sprocket: SRAM (don't know the model) will switch for a custom XTR 7V
A video riding it.

congrats, man!
Being as stiff and resistant to flat spots as they are, 823's with tubes are a bad recipe and will lead to a lot of flats.
I wish I knew this before flats screwed up a few races for me this season.
Soft wheels like DT's are soft for a reason. Probably not for everyone, but maybe somewhere in between like a Sun Ringle', 729/721.
If you don't race and don't mind fixing flats, then 823's will last a long time.
But if you don't race you probably wouldn't have a sub 40 lb bike.
Very nice build and bike. I've got a question about the tubes - have you tried running a lighter tube and some sealant? It works great for me and even though I'm quite sure I'm much slower I'm an idiot and tend to run the pressure to low very often which results in very sneaky situations
Now I run ust but before I got away with that (actually I sneaked less)
Have Senior shoot you a price...it's still his bike, right?
If you do, shoot me a price. It would be perfect for my wife.
After your wife saw my dislocated thumb I figured she was against DH.
Nah, she's seen worse with my knee alone.
Oooh, you can tell me all about it over a beer Saturday.
cesar that bike is SO clean, very nice!
waithing for deemax

nice nice nice, now on the 2010 The One as well
I have to say that normally I run pretty thick tubes just to avoid puncture, but lately I've been using EX321 rims and you flat way less so used some lighter tubes on it without flatting much. But I'm always scared of a flat on race run or qualify, punctured on first world cup this year and couldn't make it to the finals.Very nice build and bike.

What pressure you run? For example in Whistler I've been running for races and all 2.2kg F and 2.4kg R
Thanks! That was the plan.
Those things brake so much, more than the "old" ones.nice nice nice, now on the 2010 The One as well
I was around that in my tube days and now I think I go lower but with tubeless. Try it off the race - stans + lighter tube worked for me. It may be just luck or work for me but it's worth a try.
Yeah I will give em a try. Should be fine with the ust tires and dee max rims, no liquid needed right, or is best to use as safety?
Back in the day we were running the system from michelin, that basically was a tubeless tire, with some inner road tubular with a mousse wraped around, and that was fine, even flated was fine, I remember qualifying with front flat from almost top of the track with spikes on rain.
But when we switched to full tubeless, we needed to put so much more pressure due to deformation of tire. Went from 1.6F/1.8R to 2.4F/2.6R so don't know if this will be same, but for sure will give it a try. The tubes I use are 250-300gr each, so is worth 500-600gr less!!!
Sure, that reminds me that I should take the airplane ticketthose formula people are crazy
See you in Schladming!
With ust tires some people had problems with ripping holes in their tires. It only happened to me twice over 1.5 seasons and the 2nd time I was smart enough to put one scoop of sealant which allowed me to end the race (though faaaaaaar back as the tire was damaged in a nice crashYeah I will give em a try.

). Now I sometimes go as low as 1.2bar or even 1 (but that's only on smooth courses) but I'm the last person to notice something flexing/wheel going sideways (I'm light and have serious trouble with concentrating ).BTW. Are the new ONES trouble free compared to the older ones you've had? I've had a lot of small problems with my biancos and my friends ones have been the same.
I use the "old" the ones for two years now with absolute zero problems so far, two of my riding budies have them too and zero problems as wellWith ust tires some people had problems with ripping holes in their tires.

I had zero problems with the the ones, only thing to have in mind, is trying not to get too much to the end of the pads, as the expansion tank inside the lever, is pretty small and gets easy to get some bubbles when you're close to run out of pads. Changing fluid every 4-5 months max helps as well.
Is a model over the silver ones that will remind next year in production. We weighted ones and weight was around 1.9, not 2kg.
The hold really well, two weeks in Whistler, more than 100 runs, 3 races and didn't even touch a spoke. So impressed with the product, are going to stay on my bike from now on and for sure this means that are good as I'm lucky enough to be able to run whatever I want on the bike, hehe
That's good to hear. I was thinking about going stans + some light hub (don't care or have cash for the bling) on the front but it may be a reasonable solution.The hold really well, two weeks in Whistler, more than 100 runs, 3 races and didn't even touch a spoke.

it works for me. the 1st 1/3 is a little "wallowie" (is there such a word?) but otherwise spot on and works as it should. maybe a little custom valving will address the issue!ups, I missed pedals
How do You like Rocco Air? Tried anything else? Fox? Evolver?
in truth. no problems. but i m dying to try out the RC4
Agreed. Why oh why is there no NA dealer......Looks like I'll be keeping my frame for another year.
Well under 40. Last update for a long time, new LG1.
