good points, the first thing im going to try is to switch the bars on the KS nd banshee. they have the same bar, but different rise. Hopefully that will be correct because it always ends up being a PITA to swap grips/shifters/brakes.
For everybody that seems to have a problem with the money situation, i encourage you to either train, work, or both. I am not spending your money, so i dont see why you have a problem, but since you all must know. (and i know i have said this before-ALOT.) I work and race. In the winter i plow in rich snobby north jersey, usually for 400-800 per snowfall. I have been lucky enough to win the JR series, as well as the senior US open. I DID NOT win the diablo seniors series, in fact in DH i didnt do that well. Ridediablo.com for those who want to check. My parents DO support my riding, however, they DO NOT buy bikes for me. My big gift this year is the privilege to do the GE series this year (and some help with the costs-mainly gas/tires) I get deals on all my parts and (for those that pay attn) My builds reflect the sponsors of diablo(get it, prizes, comprende?) I dont ask you to build/buy 6 bikes, however, i am not on here calling out every purchase from every other member. Instead of calling out somebody for buying too much stuff (which only helps the industry-NOT why i do it)why dont you work, plow, or go to the gym. There may be snow here, and i might not be riding, but im in the gym or on the trainor.
so you work? you plow snow in the winter? so that's what, MAYBE 6-8 times over a 4-5 month period? what else? try working 40 hours a week year round, and balance that with training, racing, riding, and whatever your family life may be, then report back.
no, i dont have a 40 hour per week job,(that luckily for you your boss doesnt catch you on here
) i go to school (which isnt all that difficult) I have a small job during the year. But people freak out at the thought of multiple bikes, the proof is right there. I dont have any real living expenses, the money i get i can spend on bikes
my boss has "caught" me on here, he doesn't care, because I know how to manage my responsibilities and meet my deadlines (or have stuff done in advance), and he knows it.no, i dont have a 40 hour per week job,(that luckily for you your boss doesnt catch you on here
i have multiple bikes too. maybe even more than you. are they all top of the line? hell no. but they are all solid, and run, and i have a lot of fun riding them.
people don't freak out at others having multiple bikes, lots of us here do. the reason YOU catch flak from everyone here is that you've got 3-4 FULLY pimped out, top of the line bikes, shamelessly flaunt them, then b*tch and moan when something about your setup isn't perfect, all the while not supporting yourself. most of the rest of us are damn happy to have nice bikes (even if they aren't perfect, decked out, or top of the line) and be able to afford to ride them while supporting ourselves and making ends meet. enjoy being supported by your parents while you can, because when the other shoe drops, its gonna be quite the wake up call.

Chick on the right might be a dude. With boobs.
Im thinking the white rupaul right there!!!!!Chick on the right might be a dude. With boobs.
The one on the left is hitable but the middle looks like a evil blonde denise richards psycho... Then fred on the right swings a bat vs home base... Wrong team..... Seems Jersey has more than 1 situation! Shes gonna do the punch dance on yo @$$....
I was thinking the same..Thats a SHIM for reals.
Chick on the right might be a dude. With boobs.
I think the one on the right rides with lower bars!
I think the one on the right lowered the bar!
Or maybe hit her face on the bar on her way to the floor.I think the one on the right lowered the bar!
Well I figured out why the jersey guys lips are all stuck out like they are in feminine pain, fred on hte right got to em after they were drunk... OOOOH I think bar hopping with that catfish out there is more dangerous than DH...
Is there anything bad about having low bars slalom related, I figure i can drop them a good amount, but is there any downside to that, obviously too much of anything is bad, but is slamming bars to get lower over the front in berms have any negative aspects?
just run what feels the best to YOU and stop thinking too much.
WTF here you go and derail our jersey thread!!!! WTH ya thinkin bro!!!!!
I did that one time at a lights out toga party and woke up with a fat chick... Take his words with caution!
Wait until u see what i did to my jedi, it might look familiar, especially the wheelsWTF here you go and derail our jersey thread!!!! WTH ya thinkin bro!!!!!

I was gone drinking for a few hours, so its time for me to catch up
Sometimes, people are trying to tell you things and you come off as if you know better then people who have actually used the products, seems like your mind is already made up, so why make a thread?
Your right it is your money, and good to you, but dont get defensive when someone gives you advice. **** even though bullcrew is far more respected than me on here i remember when he was posting pics of new stuff he got daily, and he took heat for it too LOTS OF IT, now he is awsome. This is probably the most knowledgeable biking forum our there, take some the advice sometimes, just because its a "good deal" doesnt mean you should buy it. i'll continue to give my input when i see it to be valid
as long as it isnt herpes or aids, the rest is fixed by a little penicillin right?Based on the pics theres going to be other stuff harder to get rid of...
The "money" situation is/was never something i had a problem with, Since i can remember threads of yours, you have come on asking for opinions and help on stuff, example, should you buy the banshee for DS racing, should you buy the Killswitch for DS racing, both times, i used my experiences to tell you why these are the wrong bikes to own for what you explained, to this day i believe this to be true.

She can ride my lower bar if you get what im saying
with more weight over the front, the back seems lighter and less controlled, you may find that the rear end will wash out and is alot less predictable, you may also find that while jumping you get pitched forward more often, rather then pushing the bars down to level out into a tanny, its just, different, you are over thinking this and analysing it as if it were factual or mathamatic, it isnt its purely personal prefrence, so try different things out. its the only way to know
Didnt go in a dark bar with a chick named fred right???
LOL yeah penacillin the wonder drug... You take it cause the $h!ts burnin and your wonderin how it happened while blacked out!!! Reminds me of band camp, this one time --------...
Boy this is literally the most complete package thread of 2011 so far, we got bar questions, fat chicks, the jersey boys, racing laughs, some chick that looks like a dude, stds, antibiotics and now bike pictures.... Its getting good, its a off shot of the marzocchi damped by cats thread... Life is indeed good...
weird, there actually was a dude named fred there.......
this trainwreck should end up in the best of RM thread, sad how it started as a bar height question, but funny how it ended up
More plz

lol as long as she doesnt have a deeper voice than you and insist on being in back it should be OK...weird, there actually was a dude named fred there.......
KS feels good with another inch of rise, time to deal with the banshee
at the risk of being way too serious in the train wreck of awesome that is this thread, I'll bet your wild card feels worse at cornering on flat ground than your killswitch because of a way more slack head angle.
If I was to rock a wildcard for DS, I'd rock it in its shortest travel setting and lower my fork to 140 or 130 mm.
I could be wrong, but the pic you posted up of your wildcard looks like you've got your fork at 160mm.
I run both the bike and the fork at 5 inches. I have to cop with a headset issue that kinda screws me up. The fork knobs are too tall for a zerostack headset, so i have to ride the normal external 1. Its only 20mm but its still something. The banshee has a 36 talas at 5 inches. 130mm. 20mm of headset, the head tube, flush on the top with 1 5mm spacer, stem, 1 inch riser bars now (had 2) Last year it felt good, but i didnt have anything to compare it to except for a DH bike which is of course slacker and taller, so it felt very slalom like. I do have the option to run the fork down to 4 inches, but im trying to avoid that, as the slalom is very choppy here. I have the KS for the tight "hardtail" slalom courses, and the idea is to have this for the bigger less groomed ones. Again, it was "fine" last year, but fine to me was defined as better than the DH bike, so the logic isnt the best.
the large size kill switch must have a super long reach and a short stack, everyone i see looks like the bars are so low considering the reach, i would perhaps get the measurments from your two bikes in this area to compare.
long and low
similar to this real classic modern, mid-century or contemporary piece, that would look good in my living room with me and frank on it

something was missing....
Or I could thank myself and the rest of my team mates for working hard and putting a really awesome team together.might work if it was their money, that was bought with winnings. You could thank memmelar for your deal though
Just for your info, I've won/been on more podiums then you have been to races. In fact I am a previous National Champion too, hell it was for cat 2 but I still won. I don't just race at Diablo, I actually race other venues. Even race on the west coast.
And you might want to thank your parents for buying you a $43,000 dollar truck, while I bought my brand new truck for $35,000 dollars at the age of 20 and have $2,800 left in my payments.
Just trying to give you life lessons over the computer, don't mean to give you such a hard time. Sometimes theres more to life then buying bicycles that is all. See you in the spring.
Like a riced out titan?
If all goes well i will be seeing you alot more, plans are to race all of GE should i not kill myself before the last 1.
