What was it replaced with? btw- nicest beater I've seen in quite some time!i'm feeling guilty for letting this thing gather dust. soon to be resurrected as a winter beater; naked now:
a 2.5 shock might be too short to do the trick.no idea about the cc. dhx's apparently don't; 5ths & rocos do. i've got a 2.5" stroke 5th i'm going to try out to slack it out a little. if i like the geo i might try the platform devolution hack.
i put a 5mm spacer on the shaft of a 8,75" roco to approximately keep the HA constant, but i think i overdid it slightly, maybe 4mm would be better.Originally Posted by xy9ine View Post
vitox - love the short & slack setup on the pdc (w/ the 66). what shock stroke length are you using there? great pics & commentary, btw.
the bike was a blast to ride though, great weapon for tamer dh courses.
xy has a lovely southern hemisphere carbon wonder bike known as Lahar.What was it replaced with? btw- nicest beater I've seen in quite some time!
rear travel should end up at about 7.5", slacking it out about a degree, which would be perfect, imo. we'll see. that 7" 66 on antonio's bike is most likely taller than an 8" boxxer with flush reducer hs as well.a 2.5 shock might be too short to do the trick.
Is that just a bead blasted finish?i'm feeling guilty for letting this thing gather dust. soon to be resurrected as a winter beater; naked now:
walnut. i was originally thinking about polishing it, but it came out with more texture than i expected, so i'm leaving it as is.Is that just a bead blasted finish?
I'll beat your Lahar weight yet XY9INE,Mwwwahahaha.keeping the lahar, just giving it a break for a winter refit. may shave a bit more weight for next season.
i'm not sure one could get much lighter without making compromises to durability / performance at this point (cranks are one exception). there's already a couple bits i'd swap if i were actually racing the thing. it's fun tinkering, regardless.I'll beat your Lahar weight yet XY9INE,Mwwwahahaha.
