ok so i know these are due for the 2011 fox models but when do we think those will actually drop?

Reason being is that I am in the market for a fork (in the market as in i don't have a dh fork for this season), anyone know if they will push these out sooner than later? I figured mid summer which is to late but who knows...

any thoughts?

same boat. I'm actually going to buy a 40, but considering holding off if the new ones are coming out soon.

Next year's Fox Shox usually become available late Spring/early Summer of the year prior. (Crazy, I know. But from my experience, this is how it goes.) This however, may not apply to special items like the new 40 with the Kashima coat.

The Kashima coat *looks* phenomenal, but I have a feeling a lot of the folks waiting for it are going to be sad once they see the pricetag. $_$

alright ill prob go with the regular '10 40, not worth the wait/cost to me at this point just thought I would hold out if i could.

o fries are a garbage grease bin of french fries with crap all over them, still never tried them nor do I intend to...

Typically anyone that went to the University of Pittsburgh lived off them for 4 years which is contributing vastly to the health problems of most of the country.

right here -> .
Nice, every college town seems to have their own signature drunk dish. I am surprised Food Network doesn't have a show w/some dude going to all the college towns and rating these :D (does that make me ghey for bringing Food Network on a DH forum?, my wife watches it, not me :D)

The Kashima stuff looks cool but I wonder if the performance gain is going to justify the cost?......what ever it ends up being.

greasy ass french fries from the O (aka The Original Hot Dog Shop) that are great when you're drunk. They even make a size that is larger than a toaster oven (no, I'm not making this up).
I went to school up the street and they opened up an O in the University Center and we could use our meal plan $s there. There was a lot of buzz about them, and I got them on occasion for lack of other options.

The main appeal was that the "small" was basically a tray full of fries, and so the value for the money seemed high, however after eating them, that was pretty debatable. Never felt good after eating O food.

A scientific study has proven Kashima coating will:

Make you a minimum of 493 seconds faster per run
Make you impervious to all forms of tropical disease
Make you live on average, 37% longer
Make every woman acceptable on the planet want to sleep with you
Make You Jesus.

haha eating O fries didn't help, but if i was drunk enough for it then things weren't gonna end well in the first place :rofl:

The O was also the scene of late night shoot-outs.

To keep it biking related, you see the O in the background


Excuse the quality.


haha i remember all the cops being stationed there late at night.


i also remember the original club laga, and sh*t ass joker productions. Last I heard someone bought laga, can you confirm? I haven't been to a show in pittsburgh since.... '02? '03 maybe? I remember seeing chaos uk at laga when i was like 16 and was one of the most intense shows i've ever seen

Laga went out a long time ago, prob 04'ish - it had the best shows (as you may know) - very fond memories of head slamming there...

Dump, thanks for posting that video...i remember being in college chatting with you on IM while i was up in erie thinking your bike was the absolute ****.

why would you not go with a 15mm float for 4x seems insane not to if you are up for a new fork

the 831 is still a bit spendy for me...

I knew they went out, but I had heard a rumor that someone was looking to get that space and bring it back, wasn't sure if anything ever came of it.


One of my funniest memories there was leaving a Leftover Crack show coming out on the street and seeing like 8 cop cars - we thought they were to arrest LOC and some of the audience and we all had an oh sh*t moment.

Turns out Ween was playing at the upstage at the same time and someone at that show OD'd on morphine.

Yeah, those were the days, and that was a great bike. It's probably my favorite bike to date.
