ah...you blew my cover.zedro said:
I tried to fit my "plastic" boxxer internal in it but I guess I'll have to live with the Marzocchi dampers
BTW...the third pic in my first thread should of gave it out! :evil:
Why, because it's a carbon copy of yours?Jeremy R said:

The front end is too high...
and I bet that push shock is not as good as an Avy. As an internet engineer I can tell you with authority that Avys are the greatest shocks ever!
Also, who the hell rides with clipless pedals? Poser... :evil:
Yes.kidwoo said:
And those red stickers look sick with the 888.
But I also like his setup as well.
Using the 8" fork with the E13 cups and a one inch bar.
I want to go that route next year.

I stilll have my lower Cane Creek Double XC on the frame...I'm thinking about replacing it with a my e13 zero stack?Jeremy R said:Yes.

Yeah, that is my plan.Acadian said:
I figured out that I can get my bar height right where it is now on the 7" 888 with the 8" version, with a couple of small changes.
ever seen, just waitJeremy R said:
neaky: btw, the bike looks killer luc, but i was pimpin the Pushed RC / Ti spring long before anyone :evil:
Joe Pozer said:
ya, its much better, if brian rides lucs bike and sees how great it is he just might have to buy one
Jeremy: I've got both of the e13 cups in, 8 inch fork, marz bolt on stem, go-ride crowns and a 1" handlebar and it feels almost exactly like it did with the WB fork I had on there as far as steering angles. The WB had an axle to crown meas really close to that of a boxxer (low and steep). I tried it with the big headset on the bottom of the headtube and it felt like crap. The fork felt more like it rolled side to side rather than steered. My only complaint with the current setup would be the length of the stem but it might not be that much of an issue with your small frame, especially if you're already using it with your 7" setup. The me the precision you get in steering is minor but noticable over using a standard stem to get a shorter length.

Go for the swollen foot instead. It needs a good lancing. Maybe I'll trade you the tootsie pop for a few leeches.ViolentVolante said:
stop bastardizing my thread....go play in your own thread
Acadian said:
Finding out you don't know how to ride a bike with real pedals makes frenchie angry doesn't it?
ow, my foot just throbbed
I was allowed to sit on the bike last week, felt good with the sit testViolentVolante said:ya, its much better, if brian rides lucs bike and sees how great it is he just might have to buy one
He has the remote reservoir, so that means you have the beginner/training curb drop model.ViolentVolante said:ever seen, just wait
btw, the bike looks killer luc, but i was pimpin the Pushed RC / Ti spring long before anyone :evil:
are you guys done yet?
YEA, dont pick on the frenchie, Hes sensitive and a athlete!Acadian said:
I'm speechless A(r)cadian.
Well...not really, marzocchi is so yesterday...AVALANCHE DHF8!!!

The steel spring does weigh quite a bit more than the titanium spring.
I think its between a half pound and a full pound lighter with the Titanium
spring. I'm sure someone will weigh them and report back.
FYI, It's my unscientific opinion that Titanium springs have about
50lbs more sprong to their spring than steel springs. So if you use a 550lb
steel spring a 500lb Ti spring would feel the same.

i believe they are more progressive. All springs have some progression the more they're compressed, so probably the huge coil spacing in Ti springs increases this effect. Otherwise material properties are relatively the same.Gun Show said:
if you de-stickered the frame and fork, i think id wet myself looking at that bike. not saying you should, i just like that look
might just be me...but when I went from a Steel to Ti spring on my Romic, I felt like the rebound was faster with the Ti spring?zedro said:
On my 5th Element there is only a 2.3 ounce difference between the steel and Ti spring.Gun Show said:
Worth the $200?
I think not.
you sure? it has to be more than that!Jesus said:
I've never really weight them, but when I had my 5th (on the V10) I lifted up a Ti vs Steel spring and you could "feel" a considerable difference.
Agree there difference must be bigger than that. I have lifted a 9" ti 5th and I also felt a considerable difference to my 8.75 steel 5th. I still think $200 is an expensive upgrade.
what pedals are on the bike? those azonic X things?
nah...those are some Time Control Z, which I wanted to try out this past weekend at North Star - And they were on the bike, the flats are back on.narlus said:

Woow !!! C'est super ca, Hope it ride as well as it look, which I'm sure it does.
Hey Luc, what size E13 is that? Is it the mtn cross or the east coast?
Miko,Fury said:
it's the MTX one and I use a 38T chainring.
Thats what I thought... I've got the East coast with a 40tooth ring but I'd rather be running a 38 with the MTNX.
