The only thing needed is an account on FB. Not like that's hard to get ;)

I'm just giving you a hard time...

Hopefully, by the time you are out of school, there will be some jobs out there for recent college grads. Good luck with your studdies.

Sorry, I am over 15 years old....You could not pay me enough to care or participate in FB.



:weee:
Chill out man. You can get the FB account just for what the rest of the normal ppl do - looking at all the crap people send to you because they are to lazy to upload it off facebook.
Also why the hate? Is it hip to be anti hip? I was kinda wary of FB at first but it happens it's quite usefull if you live in a big city because you can find about a lot of events threw it. It's not like you'll start wearing cardigans and deep v's right in the moment you register. Be more relaxed.

Cheers not mine but my work mates. The polishing looks great till he rides it, as its was all done by hand with a cloth and hasn't been lacquered it doesn't last.

38.9 and going on a diet asap. Middleburns are here, other tire set is here, roco wc air is out getting tuned. That will drop another almost 2-3lbs. tires are 300g lighter ea. roco wc air is almost 300g and middys are easily 175-200.

Either way its rideable now and Im pretty damn excited so Ill beat on it then worry about the weight as I go... It will drop right off the bat so thats good.

Everything stock seems to be under 40, you don't even have to try.

Not mine, but a dual ply Sesh 88

13.99 kg = 30.84 pounds

Have you been reading the DH weight weenie thread on nsmb? Some sub 32 pound bikes showing up in there too. Wild stuff.

36 is the new 40.
No but I know a couple of the builds were questionable that I saw from there in other forums...
They are good if your a 135 lb rider and smooth but alot more xc then anything.



No I give them credit theres alot of well thought out parts and specs as well as if your frame is 8.25 before shock theres alot of room to negotiate.

Yeah your right 36 is the new 40!
beenm there now Im back up a little bit and Im good. 37-38 seems to be prime, too light and it deflects in the rocks. I like to get ontop of the rocks and carry lots of speed skipping em and at 36 It hwld a line decent no real complaints but 38 and it was stupid stable but had the equivelant of a 2.7 up front so it had some give in volume as well.

WTH is that thing protruding from the rear tire!!

UST tires are not dualply though they are approx 1.3-1.5 in that range. They are a bit thicker than single ply but not dual at all. As well as the maxxis I felt UST were thinner than schwalbes on the sidewalls.


I like that saddle on that! Looks sleek.

That guy has done some crazy things in order to get to that weight, including hacking a LG1+ into some custom device. I think his plan for a while was to get sub 30 with coil shock! Big money, I think its about finished as far as light weight stuff goes, there isn't much else he can do... But 31lbs for a raceable bike (for some anyway) is insane.

I'm currently rebuilding my V10 hopefully should be 35ish pounds in a month or two, depending on when I get my tax return... It'll be blown on lots of titanium hardware in short order... Pics when I get it done.
