Well, I WILL get an RMX. I have it in my posession, but I still have to pay it off. I'm not riding it until I do. If you would like to donate to Mike's buy an RMX fund, you should Buy My Norco

This thing is SOOOO beautiful!

Its an '04 RMX Team Frame with a 888R.

Mavic 321s with Race Face EVERYWHERE. Diablous Bar/Stem/Seatpost. Northshore DH Cranks.

MRP (soon to be an Evil :thumb: )

Everything is soo beautiful on it. Its soooo purdy :drool:

looks like Jason's bike,

what's he gonna be on?

how did the linkage hold up for him during the time he had it? is there any play in the rear end? up and down ? left to right?

those things ride really sweet!

Yes, it looks very much like Jason's bike. Its even got a matching Smokin' J decal on it :D

He's riding his Switch, and may get another RMX depending. and yes, there is about 8" of play in the rear end up and down



:D

YAY! New bikes for Mike! Congratulations! Maybe this one will be the charm - the one bike that makes you not fall and hurt yourself! ;)

nice. I got in a couple of runs on one of those last season at N* and really liked it, I was even thinking about getting one for a while. The only thing that bothered me was the chain kept getting sucked in between the tire and the thrust link (chain stay I guess), but maybe that could be fixed with a different drivetrain or it might not have been setup perfect.

The thing about RMX's is that you have to run the chain a bit short. Whoever's bike it is, tell them to take out 3 links :)

Does an E13 guide work well on an RMX? it looks like the lower pully plate will hit the swingarm so you won't be able to rotate it up very far....
