Nice, holmes.
Nice bike. Good luck not breaking your sternum on the steerer.
NOT taking a pot shot at your build but I was wondering about why you choose the air shock over the coil especially with the Sherman.
I don't plan on crashing. hehe. I've run a few bikes with the longer steertubes without any problems and it's better when I plan to sell the fork.BurlyShirley said:
Weight reduction and it's easier to resell the frame with an air shock.DRB said:
Why do people always bring that up? In my years of cycling, road, DH and XC, I have never slammed myself into the steerer. Besides, if it's not a bit of steerer tube that's there, it's the edge of the stem. Can't be much better, can it?Carbon Fetish said:
Good luck, I had the 5th Air shock and it continously pushed the bushings out. :mumble: :mumble: . However I had one of the early ones and SC,Progressive and my LBS did me right by upgrading me to the coil for free.Carbon Fetish said:
Great bike though. Cool build color with the gunmetal grey and the urban camo fork.
Yeah or it just makes it easy to swap it to a different frame when you want.............oh but that would be logical.
The sherman seems like a heavy fork compared to some (Vanilla, Minute)..... again I'm just asking...Carbon Fetish said:
Did you ride it with the coil? Oh probably not as it is a new build.
I've been toying with the idea of getting an air shock as well and switch between the two depending on where I'm riding.
Nice color!
Ive done it into my stem pretty badly when my chain broke on my SS. Luckily the stem height was about level with the bars so I only got bruised up a bit, but that protrusion of death would easily have broken a rip or my sternum.JRogers said:

Is that the flat gray or the anodized?
Nice Rig!
loves it
I liked to travel adjustment features on the firefly sherman over the u-turn like minute, black, talas, etc. I love the urban camo so, I'm guilty of being a fashion whore.DRB said:
I haven't ridden the bike with a coil but I might if I can get my hands on one.Its the powder coat. My co-workers got a sliver ano heckler and gunmetal ano juliana.dh girlie said:

What size shock??? There were some cheap Vanilla RCs last week. What kind of travel adjust is on there???
With 2.1 XC race tires its about 29 lbs. But I'm going to put some Mutano Raptors 2.4 so that should bring it to about 30.Skookum said:
