I stole this brand new Hope Bulb hub off a dude on ebay. bought it for $45 usd cause it is an odd ball size, 120mm. Finally got a hook up. I'm happy. One part at a time.

joel, sweet shot! and very slick placement of the pinkness. i like that inside swingarm spot for stickers.

here's a shot of macmx in denmark putting the squish on his fork.

his screen name should be "golden eye" for the lone gold rim. I love it. That is really coolieo.

Sicko-

how did the TMX do this weekend? where did you ride? how did the pink go over ??
details please !!!

 

[sikocycles]

The pink went over pretty well. The bike is very sweet. I think the link bike is a little better over all the rocks at Mt Creek. I really will know after this weekend when I bring the linkbike

 

[Shortbus]

my opinion on this (TMX vs linkage, i.e. minilink in my case) is that the linkage BMWs can be run a bit softer (which IMO can be good for speeding through rocks) than the TMX simply because of the growing/shrinking nature of the ratios put on the shocks. The TMX needs to be run a bit harsher to avoid it from bottoming, whereas my mini I can run super soft and yet hardly ever bottom out.

I don't think many(or ANY) bikes have the 'tankness' of a TMX though. Not even the links

Glad you're enjoying your bombon TMX. I want one now

tanker motocross

the tankness disappears under situations for which the bike was (to my understanding) ideally designed and the ride becomes deep-digging moto-handling madness. since it was my first dh bike it wasn't until two years after i had it when i started riding other peoples rigs and realized how differently it must be handled than most others bikes. i imagine that has to be sorta frustrating when people first ride a bklyn, but the sweetest pay-off once you figure it all out.

frustrated the heck outta me trying to session sections at the races though. noodle arms and steep climbs with a 55 lb bike... lots of pointing a laughing going on there.

Just remind those hippies that at least you're not riding in your spandex-nut-hugging underwear

and that at least your bike isn't made of paper thin alumanum and crap.

easy killer. no picking on the outer-underwearers and their disposable bikes. my feelings weren't destroyed and i was happy to provide the entertainment, especially when perched on the podium. (albeit rarely ever more than 5 ppl in my class, but what the heck, eh?)

Nice Chris I didn't know they had a downhill Barbie

The bike looks well...pink

Have you been riding much lately? I've been slacking but after going up to Woodbury last night(without my bike) I now have the itch again ...

Have you been there yet? It looks like alot of fun and the place has unlimited potential for a freeride park..

talk to ya later....red

p.s. i'm just messing with you about the bike it looks cool(wait cool and pink can't be used in the same sentence can it?

 

[sikocycles]

How have you been. I will be at the creek saturday and trums on sunday. I have been slacken to. With school and a new job time was very little but now I have weekends off so I ride on the weekend and I have been playing alot of hockey to stay in shape
