I was able to grab a 3rd in Expert Men 19-26 aboard the M9! Thank you Intense, the bike was amazing!!!!
funny you think its the bike, I think it was the pizza and beer we had the night before
, bikes look great and memmelaars bike really suits his riding style. Stoked for him and the team cant wait to see how they do this year!

it's his job to think or at least say it was the bike!
anyways i like the M9 great looking frame!
Anybody having issues with the rear hub seizing up a little if the rear axle is snug? Any thoughts or solutions?
no issues with the latest gen. saints on my bike
Has JD done anymore races on the 2951? Any plans for the M9er?
negative on Hadleys.
which hub is it?
Hope Pro II
oh, my buddy had a hope pro II and said he had the same problem when he really cranked on the nut on the axle. now he has hadleys and no problem.
That's not good!
This can pose a problem here. Stik, any problem with running a tiny washer between the wheel and frame to alleviate tackyness?
How is this a frame issue when the only two hubs with problems are Hope. Honestly the rear axle doesn't need 40ft lb of torque to keep it tight...
Not talking tons of torque here, bud. 2 or 3 full rotations past hand torque at most.
If Turner can figure out a solution for their Hope axle issue, surely Intense can do the same.
that sounds pretty damn tight
Sorry, that was confusing. 2 or 3 full rotations beyond finger torque meaning; minimal contact with hub and frame causes bad things to happen.
I have hope II hubs and my axle is on really tight. Took out the spacer thingie so I can get full thread depth on the nylock nut too. So yeah, it's been clamped tight and the hope rear hub is butter on mine. Could it be just cuz mine is a yellow M9?? Sick.
Haven't tried a hope....but its the first I heard about seizures. Well, my dog had a seizure and died 2 weeks ago, but besides that, I think you have some hub issues. Our R hub fitment could not be more basic.
Umm, sorry to hear about your pooch. On a diff note, I'm glad it seems like a hub issue rather than fitment.
Still having issues?
OK, finaly got this thing built up , now we just need for all the snow left on the trails to melt !!
Weight sits at 37.7 lbs as outfitted.

even though we did not get a shout out, pretty cool video of our marz/GoPro team on M9's Marzocchi Team Video on Vimeo
Any progress?
my carbon fiber order should finally be here thursday and it should be done friday. the first few molds i tried to make didnt work out so well, so im hoping my current one will last through the lay-up process.
the mock-up i made worked out pretty good and im just making a simple flat sheet of carbon for the upper section, above the shock.
oh my do I have a soft spot for orange...
Nope that is what I am running
now the fun starts!
Looks cool. Cant wait to see the finished product.now the fun starts!
What crank lengths are people running. I've got 170 saints running in 9' mod, 400 pound spring, 180lb rider.
I seem to hit too much when trying to chuck a few quick pedals in..seem common?

Me too. Ive got 170's am 210 running a 450 in 9 inch. I've only ridden it once but pedaling in the rocks I hit my pedals a bunch. Im planning on messing with compression settings to try to tune it out. I'm planning on riding this weekend so Ill let you know how it goes.
Anyone already figure this out?
I'm running 165mm E.Thirteen cranks, 9" mode, 450lbs DSP Ti-coil, 191lbs rider, and i still hit stuff on trying to get on the throttle out of corners.
165 E-13 cranks. 550 spring 24pound rider 9"
Build is 99% done. I ordered a 2011 Charge Spoon saddle with Ti rails to complete it. Also gold jagwire brake hoses will be installed as the factory bleed on the codes sucked. After that it will be done until I can afford a Ti spring for the CCDB. As it sits in that picture it is 40.2 pounds (Large Frame). After the new saddle it will be sub 40 (210g saddle vs 310) . Also does anyone know if the 2011 40's come with ti springs from Fox?
