Looks good! How do you like the Holy Rollers and the MTX rims? I've been thinking about both of them for my DOC.

 

[Odd is he]

I choose mtx with dt spokes and hubs over Dee Max's wheels.... so yea i love them, the wont move at all, and i havent trued them since they've been built. The holy rollers are super sick, but super fat, the roll really nice.

Very nice bike you got there......

 

[scurban]

[Stoked]

I like it. How's the new pike? I got an 04. Just wondering the major differences. Mine's done pretty well.

I dont know if their are that many differnces.....

Oh yeah, I'm hooking my pike up with a X-firm spring. it should be sick.

 

[Mr Tiles]

I put the firm spring in my Pike and it did make a difference. I just bought an old sherman firefly that I'm modifying to 70mm of fixed travel with a heavy duty tool and die spring. I got the idea from fellow monkey Leethal. I should have it done by next week, I'll post pix.

same here, oddly enough, I sold my gimp 26" and got a tonic fabrications fall guy.

 

[Mr Tiles]

got the fork done today I was mentioning above. A full write up here...

 

[allsk8sno]

yeah but 20mm of travel?? that is not even 1 inch...why not just save the weight and go rigid...60mm i could see but..seems like such a waste...

 

[Bicyclist]

Yeah, the Funn rigid fork looks cool.

i dunno, just my preference. The 20mm number is just a guestimate at this point. I'll put a zip tie on the stanchion tomorrow before a pump track session and find the real amount of travel. Just riding it around the driveway, it's just lovely in my opinion...
