I've been wondering about this and just thought I would throw up a post.

First of all, at a lot of slope style events I have noticed people running dualies. What frames hold up for applications like 360's and tailwhips. I just see AL frames not liking those kinds of loads. Transition seems to have a few frames that are a bit more burly, anyone else?

Also, some of the bikes are set up for SS. I would assume with a chainguide you could probably lock things down comfortably but there still typically is a fair amount of chain slack created during compression (depending on the models).

Finally, are long cables how barspins and whips are possible. I saw the post about hydro detanglers, and I know some people use gyros, but I can't imagine with gears how you could avoid miss shifts.

Anyway, if any of you have pics to back this stuff up I'd love to see them stills.

ok, i have a kona cowan DS. its concentric so it can be used singlespeed with no chain growth. i highly reccomend. it is nice and burly. its also for sale bit ,most companys have some sort of squish dirt jumper

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

the double is the only option beyond the kona mentioned above both work very well...

 

[ROTFLMAO]

doubles are sooo nice! Got to ride one a lil while back and it was wonderful.

 

[Zach Dank]

I can ride my double through any line i can ride my hardtail through. It is a sick full sus dirt jumper!
I run it single speed as well.

 

[ROTFLMAO]

Great pic! and I'm very jealous of the double.

cept for the kona bass

was that one of the Kona's we saw at the NWD 8 premeir?

 

[joelalamo45]

The Kona Bass is the same bike as the Kona Cowan. They just gave it to Paul Bass because he is so big right now.

 

[t1maglio]

So who makes the double? And what about the cable situation? And more pics? I'm not really personally looking to get one, just intrigued about the topic. I like my hardtails.

Price really isnt that high when you add up alll the parts that come witht he frame kit, heck just the frame alone of -4200 less than the comprable Ventana witht he same rear end and shok .

I try to keep the priceing pretty fair.

no one needs a million doller slope style bike

I think you can find pic's of WCH all polished bike in the Ridemonkey Gallery

I was just pokin your kidneys a bit bro. The frame is undoubtedly worth it. Dead sexy too.

OH ?
Is the BAs and the Cowen the same bike ..?
J/K LOL

 

[joelalamo45]

Yep... I like how Kona tried to brand it as a new bike they made for Paul B.. It looks like Cowan lost his bike to him

 

[demo 9]

cowan should shoot bass, if he stole my bike i would be pissed

 

[joelalamo45]

Maybe Cowan shoulda kept up with the game and not gotten his bike taken from him...

with a couple of changes you could also do a santa cruz blur4x.also a yeti 4x which i know is pretty sweet for the cash.also ive ridden with dave smutokand know that he rides a ironhorse mk3 team on occasion and does some dj with it so that is also another possibility.
