i thought the FQ's are 6" in the rear. Question is can u run a 7" up front or it'll mess up the angle?
You'd be fine.TankerX said:
well i'm 5' 6" so i think i'm versatile enough for that setup. This info will encourage to jump on the deal i encountered; I got a great deal for a complete setup. The deal is less than the frame kit so i'm gonna jump on it.
Erm, Joel, this you?

Refresh it, you know the drill. Or that might not apply here.. anyhow, yeah. What a NASTY injury!? That thing hanging off his ankle should get it's own postcode.
*edit* - It works, ignore the refresh comment.

WHAT!!! who is selling their fq? or why? or how? and why on earth would they not want to just give it me for crying out loud? sheesh!! some people.TankerX said:
tanker, i encourage you to contact brooklyn directly with your spec/tech questions. because while you may just be the 13th most fortunate person on the planet, it would royally suck if you're set up wasn't condusive to the bike's performance. (i personally would downhill on that bike by the way, though not under all circumstances.)
good luck this w/e joel. i was hoping i could pull it together to hit final descent but it's not looking good with IB the following week and all this furschtunken work piling up on my desk.
off to pout now.
sincerly,
mini-less me
Hehe, glad i could be of service. Don't know how i could be grinning with something like that, i think it's more a proud smile. Like,
"Yeah, check it, i can have bigger things hangin' off my ankle than YOU can!"
"Yeah, check it, i can have bigger things hangin' off my ankle than YOU can!"
Yeah, that is me. I busted my heel a while back at a DH race and had a rough time.

I know youre kidding but Na, im just glad to have a foot - seriously. it was not looking good there for a while. I love my doctors. Shlt does happen sometimes and infection is a real possibility in any surgery or even a small cut.Duzitall said:
i could not use a RL anyway.

Why could you not use a RL?joel hester said:
Good to know you've recovered. It would majorly suck to have a foot amputated. Life is a right bastard sometimes. :nuts:
YES ! it fits!tmx said:

I run a 6" fork up front and am 5'5, and I would recommend against going with anything that has more than 6" up front, just because it hacks up the front so high. I can still lower my fork since it's a DTC to be closer to the height of a 5" fork, and to me it feels perfect that way, but i can also lift my front end up to be almost at the height of a 7" fork and it will start throwing off the angles at that point... I do run a 26" wheel in the front however, so if you ran a 24 in the front it might put you back where i'm at, but i also know most new DTC forks are not height adjustable (i.e. everything is stupidly pressed on), so it all depends. All in all I think the travel of the fork in itself wouldn't be the problem, just the ride height.

Make sure that deal isn't on that school project brooklyn
If it's kosher i sure hope you've jumped on it already cause i see tmx-goddess jumping the fences at 50MPH
Not I, but I bet some of those Bklyn race junkies were on the scene. You?? If so, Got pic? Didja nightride? How were Alexis'zzz fireworks?DHS said:
Joel, you slay me.
Shortbus, hi. Great news of the acquittal. Had a hard time picturing you sporting the orange jumpsuit...clinging onto the bars...peeking through the tiny peep hole window...dreaming of your mini and your Porsche.
achully the mofos didn't drop the charge at all, just the jail time and license suspension. Which means that if i get caught doing 5mph over the speed limit again i get a free set of orange over-alls.
crap sb, what did you do to warrant those kind of charges? vehicular manslaughter?
an old super trucker. i remember seeing one for the first time at interbike ('98 maybe?). we thought the brooklyn guys were crazy. it was the biggest, heaviest bike ever concieved. it had the insane new monster-t, moto bars & 3" tires. oh, the good olde days...

Mike425's new TMX
holy ebay action - this tmx sold yesterday for $2200 - awesome deal!
this one is currently up for bid @ $3500. whats with all the sales??
Yeh I saw that, I was tempted... so tempted. A lot of the stuff had been jut serviced etc.xy9ine said:holy ebay action - this tmx sold yesterday for $2200 - awesome deal!
But I'd prefer a mint RL.
Some people just can't ride them enough. Or have to move, or in debt etc.xy9ine said:this one is currently up for bid @ $3500. whats with all the sales??
I think that in the for sale section here too.
oh - while i was busy avoiding doing work this morning, i finally weighed the tmx - 49lbs! not too bad for what it is, i guess.
Who cares what it weighs? Once you settle onto a bike it doesn't really matter. You and the bike just... connect. You get me?xy9ine said:
actually, i was pleasantly surprised @ the weight - given that lots of these are pushing 60. i do confess to being a weight weenie, though.

Any of you Englih guys on a TMX in Guilford.
ROTFLMFAO! ahahahahahajoel hester said:
My M1 was 50lbs, my Super 8 was 54lbs and the TMX = 59.9 lbs!! I someday want a low 40 lb bike. That would be nice!xy9ine said:
