Dude, that is straight BMX with suspension and big tires and a disc brake. I love it the more I look at it!

Haha, Thanks.
Never really thought about it that way, but that does make awhole lot of sense.. It rides like one also.. Still thinking if i should drop the fork a little bit tho.. What u think?


Yep, The Floats are amazing. After going air, never will i go back to coil.. makes life so much easier, just pump it up for a nice stiff ride! No need for messy coil changes.. :lighten:


Weeee. Keep em comming..

Personally yeah I like my forks slammed, but a lot of people seem to like 4" the best. I like 65-80mm though.

Yeah, I'm with you on that, I had the float at 60mm when i was riding the chase.. It was Awesome, didn't really feel dialed on the chase tho, the head was still slack.

The TOP however has a steeper head so i might try 70-80mm. Right now at 90, nose tricks are already much easier than the chase. I'm like it. :)

Anyone running 60-80 on the TOP? How does it feel?

I'm running my TOP with an 80mm 36foat DJ, and it feels perfect.

Thanks Zack, I'll try it with the float at 80mm.
Question tho, whats the 36 float DJ, Is it like a new DJ damper?
Also, did you have to mod the fork to get it to 80mm?

Nope they are not profiles, they are the Hope Pro 2 hubs. Have them front & rear, cheaper altervative to the profile. ")
