I am getting a 2001 foes tube what do you guys think of them good, bad give me some info please.
All Foes products are excellent. It all depends on how it was ridden. Check for dents, cracks, and abuse. A 2001 bike can have many years left in it if it was treated well. You will probably need to replace all pivot bearings if you want it to run 100%. If something is cracked or broke Foes will help you out on replacement at a percentage. Good luck. I love my Foes.
I have an 01' tube myself, it works great. It had a crack in the swing arm, foes was great about rewelding, heat treating, painting and replacing all the bearings. cost about 200 bucks. they also offered me a discount on a new mono, but that still cost a buttload. this bike has been raced hard for 4 years, had several new front triangles. it is still going stong, I'm going to race it again next year. mabye I'll push the shock and change up a few parts but that is it.
What about the old Weasels? I found a decent deal online and might get it for sort of a play/trail/light fr bike.
What year? I'm still riding a 99 Weasel as my trail bike.mtnbkr4235 said:
I think its a 99. It has a Kustor shock on it, comes with XT cranks/bb, triple rings and derailleur, F-1 fork/hub, Formula 2piston hydros and a CK set. The guy wants my Atomlab front wheel, and $150, it looks like its in decent shape. Think its worth the trade? Also, do you do much jumping on the trails and stuff or do you keep it pretty mellow?Brian HCM#1 said:
