There is a rule that says if you have a weird bike you have to take a completely useless photo, here is mine-
clean! Cool paint.my current 2014 bike for weekly dh duty..
The bike is a fecking rocket ship. The Ohlins and the Rare Air is such a good combination - I'm buzzing!
final set-up for whistler in 2 weeks.
Damn, son!
And all with 8,000$ rims in the background.

which are actually for sale, along with the car. Ive decided a car, on air is stupid to own. I cant take it to any trails, i dont want my dog ****ing up the interior. cant go camping. so once it sells im on the hunt for a good 4x4 suv or truck.
sometimes, some thing you say, you wish you never said. rim price not excluded.

It happens man, I sold my dumped v8 s4 for a wrangler 4 door last year, best decision ever. it's the right choice you can't have everything.
I will preface this by apologizing for the off topicness
blackohio - looks awesome. what kind of wheels are those?

I had a VW Passat Wagon with the w8 that I sold for the 528. Would be all over another one if I could ever find it with the 5 speed
Always wanted a v8 Audi. Would love a v8 A6 wagon

Totally sidetracked this thread. But the wheels are Rotiform OZT's (hommage to the old OZ Turbo wheel)
Yeah, Ideally Id like something along the lines of either a Q7 or Q5. I dig the interior and lux aspects of the A6. So going to something spartan is going to be a huge letdown.
However a huge preface to all of this is, I want to pay for something cash. So Im somewhat limited to the 6K range. Which excludes any Q5/Q7.
So Im kinda learning to trying to find a good clean Mitsubishi Montero with the boxed fenders (1998 or so) spend a grand on the motor and throw some suspension/tires on it and be stoked pocket the cash.
always wanted one of those.

Just about done with this, first trail bike build. Been wanting a 6 Point for a while. Waiting on Zee der. and switching rotors. 32lbs with tubes and no chain/der
I'm running an external lower cup to accommodate the tapered steerer, and the fork is in 170mm mode. The added stack height has the head angle at 66. BB was measured at 14.2
My Downhill bike for this year still with my trusty Session 10 but now custom tuned with updated geometry,the bikes head angle is changed with the Works components -2 angleset that gives the bike a 64 degree HA.Made the change to air suspension in the rear with the Cane Creek Double Barrel Air & up front a custom 2014 Marzocchi 888 RC3 V2 Evo done by Wecustomizebikes.

Always liked that frame. How much was the bananodization?
bike looks great, i just never understood why they put that potbelly on there.
My latest ride:
So far, it's pretty fkn fun.
Cheers, Hugh.

Looks amazing , have you ridden on those forks yet?
Just wondering how long the green coating will last on the stanchions?
Are they teflon coated or just normal anodizing?
that's where the gas goes.
it was trek in the early 2000's. they were looking for places to hide lance's EPO.
that looks really neat, a lot cleaner than your other versions. I read through your website, you have tons of really good info on MTB dynamics and stuff. Do you have plots of the antisquat and leverage rates for this bike?My latest ride:

Cheers, Hugh.
That has to be the "motion ratio", the inverse of leverage ratio. It's what the automotive world uses, probably because it's more intuitive (as motion ratio increases, spring rate at the wheel increases). In the mountain bike world, the inverse probably took hold because numbers like 2.5 are more convenient than numbers like 0.4.
should have gotten a trail bike a LONG time ago. this thing is a blast.

I hope the DHR is heavier because my DHR weights a ton!
