Yep, but spun around to work with the idler. Not had any issues with it. They've made the bashie nicer now I believe.
Post your 2011 rides!
^^ how do you find the push mx tune?
Worth every penny.
I was constantly dialing my stock DHX. It always seemed that something was being compromised. I read every tuning thread and tried every possible combo, but it never felt dialed. I got it PUSHed last season and was able to put a few days on it before the snow fell, and it honestly felt like a different bike. (Had the Boxxer PUSHed as well.)
I'd recommend the MX to anyone.

Faar from ready.. I got fork and did set up this quickly to check before I take apart this for rebuild. Added new bar and pedals, also uncut seatpost. Still some parts are left to add.
Im tempted paint rear triangle as white and main frame as 100% black but it has to wait
it looks so tight, reducer cups make it look more normal

Nice Voltage!
What shock length and mount are you running there? And, any time on the Vivid yet? Like it? Which tune?

241mm(i think it's the 9.5 inch) shock with the long dropouts. Shock is working fine,i've bin testing it already for allmost one year. The tune on both bikes are custom.The service guy from Rock shocks Austria made it specially for me and both bikes.

NoSkidMarks, any chance of a little comparison of the Katipo with/without the floater? Kinda curious. Isn't yours the only one with floater?
If you were running the crowns the right way it would even more normal.Faar from ready.. I got fork and did set up this quickly to check before I take apart this for rebuild. Added new bar and pedals, also uncut seatpost. Still some parts are left to add.

Good eye!!! I knew there was something off about that front-end but couldn't put my finger on it...
hehe yep. like i said I did put up fork quickly. the headset ring didnt even fitted properly on fork tube so the end looks high
and yes, the lower crown is reversed
my older one had a floater.
I can do a comparison, but neither floaters were/are set up perfect without squat, so they're not 1005 neautral.
But I'll send you a PM when I get the 150 in the back.
I always thought 100% neutral bikes meant that the force that would normaly squat your rear suspension would squat your front instead and that's much worse than loosing traction.
i will do a photo shoot of my dh/fr hard tail tomorrow night
, it just got a lot of new parts.

I'll play this year.
Yep. Are they rare or something? At 6'3" I'd be pretty uncomfortable on a medium.
I need to work on the colour-coordination a bit. Or I might just say sod it and ride it as is.
When I ordered mine in November, my rep told me only 4 large frames were comming into Canada and three were called for...
Happy trails
Got my Jedi built up. Stoked for the season!

The shadow has a bit of a reflection to it...heres a sneak peek of my 2011 bike.

Jeez. Race Face needs to hook you up with some different bars...I'll play this year.
I have a variety of bars for you to choose from. Those crazy flat ones I had on my Blindside might be suitable.

Hell yeah UC! That thing looks rad. Mine's getting put in a box this week, but its not going to be new like that; it's had a few miles put on it. What's your weighing in at?
25 lbs. 11 oz.
Gettin' an AC hand me down?
Man I loved how my giant rode. Just wish the HT was shorter
Yeah, these are a dime a dozen this year, but I dont give a sh!t. Cant wait to get it on the dirt.
Cliffy posted his Trail Bike so I'll bite. Not a complete bike yet, I have all the parts on order or in hand sans wheels. Still can't decide what wheels to go with...
Si, not sure how you guessed that? Inset with flipped stem and low-rise bars = HT solved.
That frame is sexy mattmatt
Love me some plastic.Wonderful FrameCliffy posted his Trail Bike so I'll bite. Not a complete bike yet, I have all the parts on order or in hand sans wheels. Still can't decide what wheels to go with...
It's just the lighting hitting the carbon weave weird.
Matt either spend the G's for carbon wheels or look into the Charger Pros. (the graphics are just stickers so you could take them off if you wanted)Cliffy posted his Trail Bike so I'll bite. Not a complete bike yet, I have all the parts on order or in hand sans wheels. Still can't decide what wheels to go with...
The Chargers are definitely on my list of possible wheels. I want to run the 142x12 dropouts so they fit the bill. I considered going all out and getting carbon wheels but I want to ride the bike a good bit to make sure it fits and I like it before dropping even more coin on Carbon wheels. Plus it'll give me something to look forward to upgrading.
Edit: I just noticed QBP only has the Charger Pro's in White. I was trying to get away from white parts (I know the fork is white, its the only color I could get it in) but I'm wondering if the white wheels would look go on the bike with the stickers removed. I was also considering the Black Flag Pro's since QBP has black in stock.

No kidding eh? Still, could be worse. I could be running a bright yellow front hub, or something...
How it's gonna sit for awhile. New Answer DM stem and fox upper crown. Rides so good. Super smooth and quiet.
