Its drinks alot.
But thats cause of the pressure of being a sunday superstar.

Some have problems w/ the shock hardware backong out. That was mainly 05s I think though.
If it's got a 5th Element there's a chance it'll need to be re-valved for the Sunday's low leverage ratio.
That's all I really know of, they seem like really solid frames.

The biggest weak point of my 06 Ironhorse Sunday Elite, is ME!!! I crashed in both my race runs at the cal state dh champs. But then this past sunday, I beat my class by 18 seconds at a local dh race sponsored by FFAT.biz and NoFriends.com. I've yet to bash my BB, and my rear suspension is FULLY active!
bulets.......oh and paint
For sure. It chips way too easily.anarchyUK said:

What?
1. Paint chips really easily
2. Due to low BB can clip pedals relatively easily, make sure you run 165 mm cranks
3. Not a plow bike if thats what youre looking for
4. adding air pressure to shock is a bit of a pain, so is accessing the bottom shock pin
So far thats all i can say about mine,
great bike, once you start pushing it to the limit is when you feel how great it rides.

1. paint, if you look at it wrong it will fall off
2. 165 cranks. I personally bent a pair of cranks already and the rest of my team mates with sundays have bashed theres super hard
3. Hardware, 2 of us of 05 3 have 06's and all but 1 of us have had hardware issues. If you get one make sure to do the seat pull test and see fi there is any play. IF you find some call tom at ironhorse and make sure to get the right hardware
4. Cable Routing. Not that this is an issue per say but you do have to get creative and need to get some clear tubing to protect your der cable
5. accessing the adjusments on the shock are pretty darn hard. Get a ball headed hex set.
All in all the Sunday is a great bike. I love mine and will def be getting it anodized over the winter

Probably just forgot to turn the Performance Knob to the "On" position...

there is an exhaust vent that leads straight to the main reactor. if you fire a thermal torpedo straight down the shaft, you can disable it completely.
What is a "seat pull test"?
To check any bike for play in the bushings.
Its "for play" you Perv.CBJ said:
Although your fore play probaly includes something freaky with your Sunday.
You know me too well

Feels like one to me.
If that's not a plow bike, my turner must be a hard tail. Actually compared to a sunday it kind of feels like it sometimes.
Obviously you need to activate the suspension. Noob.kidwoo said:

I lost the phone number to activate it and I can't afford the kit. Apparently it's only available in europe.
pfffft, you actually *pay* to activate things? just get the patch off of warez.com like everybody else.kidwoo said:
ink:
yeah get a keygen from warez, and then get the sunday activation patch! Just like photoshop cs!! hahaha oh you guy's are hilarious!! hahaha
I haven't ridden one yet... but I have noticed that the paint ships pretty easily. As far as how the bike feels - it feels like it's made JUST FOR YOU. That's how comfy the geometry is.
BB is scary low, but that just means an adjustment in riding style.

I think the style is called "go fast in corners"
kidwoo:
...around here in the northeast its ridiculously rocky, so leaning and loading the suspension in corners can get a little sketchy if you are new to the Sunday and its race-oriented geo.
...REALLY?... dude THAT"S what I've been doing wrong - I always stop at every corner.

I totally rule everything so it's kind of hard to relate to mortals sometimes.
Keep it up though. You'll get it.

Have you ever measured the BB on your Demo?S.K.C. said:kidwoo:

Mine is 14.0 and the Sunday is 13.9. :bomb:
Both 8 inch travel bikes.
I am in need of a 36t guide.

Sounds like you east coast guys have what's it called?..........rocks (sp?)???
I'm not sure what all that means but you should probably just ride through corners instead of stopping before them. Seems to be an east coast thing.
There is no weekness. It is the bike that Jesus built after he gave up carpentry.
Oh... and buy extra cranks...

Lol... I've figured it out - kidwoo is actually Sam Hill.

Actually the BB on my Demo 8 is 14.2", but that might be because of the stanchion height in my fork crowns.
it wont save you any money on your car insurance. 
only weakness on MY Sunday is...
ME!
