hey monkeys,
i wasthinking that since a downhill bike that i would be interested in would only have like an inch or two of rear travel that my jamis dakar xlt. so what would be the maximum fork that i could put on that frame without risk of extra stress on the head tube.

dual crown pros are extra support compared to its length unlike a single crown of a simmular length.

or should i just suck it up with my 120mm manitou black

thanks guys

nothing your an idiot and this post doenst make sense, your dakar will never be a downhill bike.

 

[BIRDMAN111]

well do you want to fork over the cash for me to buy a proper dh bike? because now that school has started i dont have a job because of CHS sports to pay for anything.

I want the names of both of your english teachers. They should be fired immediately!

BBWWWAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Would you rather me talk like this? I will use commas, and periods, and full sentences to please you.

and i dont think "BBWWWAAAAAAAA!!!!!" is a word, or even a noise a normal human would make.

Well, with such an astute observation, one would have easily identified the verbiage in question as an Internet colloquialism indicating a huge outburst of laughter at the aforementioned post.

im going to condense the graduated cylender of your two line stanza by embarking on an oddyssey of subsidising your taxidermist like insuficientcies in trivial knowledge and lack of supercalafragalisticexpialadotioedness.

Well if you are going to try to be proper now, I should point out that you only made about 5 errors in three sentences. Not bad.

You should say "I talk like this" rather than "me".

You should not follow a comma by the word "and" like where you say "commas, and periods".

You do not use a comma in the last instance where you do use "and".

It should be ......"commas, periods and full sentences".....

You should start your last sentence with an upper case "And" rather than "and".

I'm sure you know all this however, so I'll stop being a di@k now.

 

[BIRDMAN111]

well i decided not to care about the second sentence

 

[wood-dog]

Birdy just hush now and stop while you are ahead

 

[dirtygirlmagnet]

anyone's I.Q. or grammer can not change the fact that a dakar xlt is NOT, nor will it ever be, a downhill bike.

Keep the manitou black fork on there. If you put anything bigger on there, the bike will feel very unbalanced, even if it's always going downhill.

 

[Tattooo]

This is rapidly turning into an episode of "The Boondocks..."

 

[drt_jumper]

Its simple, run what you brung. If you can only afford the Jamis then ride it like a DH bike. Just do not expect it to last very long. Not to mention riding that bike on DH trails will make you either a smoother rider or a really really sore rider. Have Fun!!!!

No SK6 isn't normal and he usually looks like this when he makes that sound...

 

[Dartman]

How very "persmunctive" of you.


If you get that you watch way too much TV.

If you are asking to put a dual crown on a dakar...DO NOT DO IT!
You will die. A dual crown will shatter that head tube!

Look at the stud in the Superman Shirt - WOW - I bet all the chicks did him.


O-yeah I vote this the worse thread of the week. The only thing saving this thread is the hot guy in the superman shirt.

The only thing saving this thread is the hot guy in the superman shirt.

And the fact that he appears to playing pocket pool. Eightball, corner pocket.

 

[mud'n'sweat]

They do, but only because he drives a hummer!

 

[SK6]

OUCH, all I can say is, OUCH!

 

[Konabumm]

HAHA you guys are great - and I do think the guy was playing with himself

 

[SK6]

Why do you think I went "BBWWAAAAAAA!!!" ?

i was only considering the advice given to me by bearmtnpicnic over the summer. not that i should ever trust his advice...sorry charlie i had to throw you under the buss.

 

[wood-dog]

Birdy, if you are on a budget and stilll want to DH there are options for you;
1. a Jr. T $150-300
2. Manitou Slider $200
3. Big Hit FSR $300-500 for a frame
4. Haro Extreme $200-300 for a frame
5. Santa Cruz Bullit $250-400 for a frame
6 Santa Cruz Heckler $400-500 for a frame
These arn't fancy set-ups but they will allow you to ride aggesivly and run harder courses without the concerne of trashing out your Dakar

 

[BIRDMAN111]

thank you woody for some good advice.

 

[avalanche165]

ebay is also a good choice, start with a decent frame if you are willing to do a build.

also, bbbwwaaaaaa is probably the most natural noise i've ever made.

 

[denjen]

I saw SDH was selling his Iron horse 7 point something frame and parts on here the other day. You may want to contact him. Ive seen the bike it is in great shape with some good parts for a really good price.

here is the link

For the props.

I was hoping I priced it right. I need to get rid of it!

 

[BIRDMAN111]

unfortunatly ive been informed that my parents are making me pay for my car insurance when i get my licence in january, and my life gaurding jub is over untill next june, so even if i wanted to buy your 7point (which i would) i wouldnt be able to afford it untill next summer, unless i find time to get a job on the weekends.

 

[wood-dog]

and my life gaurding jub

Birdy, what in the world is a "gaurding jub"? IS that some kind of trials trick or something?

 

[BIRDMAN111]

yeah, but i decided my parents wouldnt approve

 

[wood-dog]

well then what is your greater love in life? Your parents approval or getting the most pimped out rig you can get your hands on? If the latter is your top priority then I am sure that tattooo can hook you with a couple of folks that would throw some money your way providing you do the payees a couple of favors. Can you help the boy Tattooo?

 

[Bearmntpicnic]

fokster get a job, or really bug your parents.

 

[wood-dog]

or.........

Stand on the corner licking a lollypop or ice cream cone suggestively.

 

[Tattooo]

I do "know a guy...."

Have you ever dressed up in tutu for money?
Its just a question...

 

[Robusto]

Although it sounds alot funner to go along with everybody else, and come up with bad ideas on how you could get some money... I'm going to have to say just to go with that you've got. My friend did a few races on his P1 with 100mm of travel, and it kind of worked... I guess.

Aside from that... SK6 I'm guessing you're the guy in the picture, bent over, and wearing black? I remember seeing you at all the races I've been to this year, just never really matched the face with the name. This is my first year riding anything other than dirtjumps, so Im just trying to meet everyone in the area who rides. Im the kid on the beat up red Ironhorse, so next time up at Snowshoe Ill say hi or something.

 

[VaNIlLin81]

Or fokemeister you can get a "jub" like me. I'm gonna go turn in applications at Panera Bread, Damn you bagelpunk!

 

[Tattooo]

Jubs? Where are the fun in those?
I think welfare or unemployment could fund a pretty good season if you had mom and dad contributing to the general malaise of the DH universe.

Van, you coming out for the last Wisp race?
