I got my Dirtbag finally built. I really like how it looks and how it rides. Now only the snow has to melt away!

I'll put Codes on when they arrive and then it's time to save for a new fork. The Sherman isn't up to the Roco. The shock really feels very plush compared to my 5th on my old AS-X. I put the TST first on positon 1 and it wallowed when pedaling and the bike felt like a full blown downhiller. Then I put the TST on position 2 and the pedal bob went away. If that feeling is really true the shock does what I expected. Only one flip of a lever and the bike switches from "allround-allmountain" to "bikepark".

I've been having trouble finding information anywhere on this and I got to thinking today - which setting on the Preston rear suspension is the longer of the two settings?

There are two vertical holes for the bolts to go in. My bike came built with the suspension bolt on the lower hole. Have I been riding in the 4" setting? If so that's going to be friggin' awesome to switch to the longer setting.

 

[joelsman]

the lower hole is the 5in, as it is closer to the pivot(of the swing link).

the other way to tell is to switch back and forth, the 5in setting will feel softer than the 4in using the same spring.

sickalicious!! the Double is such a sweet rig, and it looks even better with a nice build. the colors are killer, compliments to the owner DoubleK
i look forward to some ride reviews. welcome to the family.

 

[pedalmunky]

Gawd da-yamn, that's a sweet Double. Amazing-looking ride with a killer spec, man. Ya did real good.

I was sooo close to pulling the trigger on that frame before I changed my mind. And got myself a white Preston.

 

[Summit]

Just decided to bump my stable to include 2 Transitions...trading out my beloved ASX frame for a white 07 Dirtbag, think I'll go with a DHX Air on it

 

[specializesnake]

will the Bottlerocket take some 6+ drops okay?

 

[mandown]

only if you buy the "6 foot drop" head tube option.

 

[joelsman]

and you have to get the raw frame and have it painted rootbeer brown, only then can you huck the nar!

 

[TRANSITION-MJR]

6 foot drop........ no problem.

 

[TRANSITION-MJR]

ok all you Transition owners/fans check out the BLOG on there website for the new DH rig, its called the Blindside and it will be replacing the GranMal. its lighter, had more sizes to choose from, and some nice geo changes floating rear brake makeing it even more versitile. really you have to check it out.
