A little while back I posted a thread about what bike I should get. I finally got the double. It took about 2 months to finally come.

its the talas, so it is adjustable from 160mm-100. In on of the picks, I had it set to 160mm. I'm getting a guide and a gold tooth bash guard. What type of guide shoild I get? I can't really decide. I want something light/low pro
ahhhh, that bike just caused a mess all over my keyboard
incredible, i really would like to ride one of these little guys instead of my TOP, maybe at some point...Singlespeed on that would be insane!
Thats what I was thinking...
also isn't the double made for a 100mm fork? Seems like 160 is major overkill...
all depends on what you are using it for...im such a hack i wouldnt mind having a bit of rear suspension stiffened out...maybe next year...
Yeah, 160 mm is overkill for 99.9% of the riding I will be doing. Howerver, that is why I got a talas 36. External travel adjust :100-130-160mm of travel
You can use a bash guard with the lg1, although it is designed so you dont HAVE to.
Have fun getting a bash to clear the upper part of the boomerang. The only bash I could think of that could possibly work is a TruVativ.
well, how does she ride?
sick bike, you gotta be stoked right about now.

such a sick frame, good god. the angles on transitions site look perfect for jumping, i wish they were a little bit slacker for my uses though because i would throw a longer travel fork on there and use it as my all arounder. i would have bought it if i had the cash, you're very lucky.
When you put on a longer fork it'll get slacker.
yup, but i talked to the transition guys about it a little while back and they said that if i were to put as long a fork as i wanted to, it would screw up the geometry and make it handle weird. looks like i'm getting a bottlerocket when my bike dies, which won't been any time soon. i've got plenty of time to think about it i guess.
Rad bicycle.
I'm interseted in getting a new wheelset for it. I was thinking about getting a white transition revolutuion one (I have a white bash guard on order, plus am going to try and get white bars). Anyways, my question is whether to get the 36mm wide or the 32 mm wide.
The 36 mm wide will make the tires wider but not as tall (which I think will give me better grip but less squish).
The 32 will make the tires taller but skinnier/rounder (which I think will give me more squish but less grip).
Correct me if any of this is wrong.
I will be running 2.4 holly rollers (more like 2.2s though).
If there is a better/diff wheelset you guys would recomend, let me know. Thanks for any input. Also, I will take suggestions on ANYTHING. I think it rides perfect now, so lets make it PRETTY

polished wheels are the wave of the future
