sweet! Just got my new ride built up today. 2006 Astrix Union. Sharp lookig bike if you ask me. Had 'er out for short XC/lite FR ride tonight soo far im very pleased with it. I had to taker easy as my breaks were a bit messed, got all that sorted out now thou.

Sweet, what's your gearing?

 

[PepperJester]

As shown its on a 32 X 17. I think I might change to a 32 X 19 thou, soo I can spint in to kickers with a bit more ease. Out trails are fairly tight soo I won't miss the top end on the 17.

Nice..
What's the headangle on that?. Specs..
I have a 42 -20 gearing on my dirtjumper.

 

[PepperJester]

their web site shows it at 69º but that probley with a smaller fork then I've got on it. Soo its probley around 67º or 68º

Specs:

2006 Z1lite
font EX325 on specialized hub - 2.35 Nevgal
rear Mammoth on XC disc - 2.2 Michelin of some sorts
Hozefeller cranks and DH team bb
Axiem Road gap pedals
Sram PC68 chain
HFX9 front and Avid bb7 rear calipers, 8" rotors
FSA pig headset
Titec El Norte II bar
Axiem 4bolt stem


42-20 would be way to big for the tech shore riding thie bike will see. On my SX trail I usally hit most of our stunts in 36X32 or 36X20 soo that works out to an avrage of 43.7ish gear inches.

with my 32X17 on the Union im getting 48.9 - a bit much. If I toss on a 32X19 I'll get 43.7 right on, soo it will feel the same as my big bike to pedal in to stunts.
