Ha! I only noticed the excessive slackness of the chain until you mentioned that.... good eye!

Weight wasn't the main thing on my mind for this build, it just turned out like that, and my riding didn't improve magically compared to when i rode a 31lb dobermann.

the fork is one of the thing thats going, i cant stand it. this is my build i did last year and will definatly learn from my mistakes on part choices

What dont you like about the fork? How much are you selling it for?

im going to just ride a bmx this summer as one of the reasons for selling this guy is to pay for some other more important things. maybe come july ill get something new but as of right now i haven't put too much thought into what ill get

it needs to much work done on it for a dj and street fork, im taking it apart weekly it seems, replacing oil ect i just cant get the feel right, i had never ridden the float cartride and i can say i just hate the feel of it, combined with the amount of work i need to put into it = massive headaches.

Whats crazy is even though the american canadian dollar is basically at par, retail on this fork is $1300 up here, so i would like to atleast get 650 for it, but at that price you americans can basically buy a new one from any mail order website

 

[BigRedBike]

Should see if you can get someone to trade you for a zoch 55. The float is an XC fork anyhow

I have the 32 float also with the 15mm axle and it works amazing for dj/street. I only changed the oil once when I lowered it and no maintenance since.

it turns out my fork was a lemon. i had sent it back for warrenty once before with fox saying there was nothing wrong with it. soon after i made this post i sent it back in cause i was getting really fed up with it. it turns out that the air shaft was machined improperly or something of that nature which destroyed the u-cup seal and slowly ruined the fork from the inside out. it got warrentied for a 831

 

[Paulyd]

That's awesome.

 

[Zach Dank]

831 for your win. Havent touched mine in over a year of hardcore abuse. Not even to change the seals or anything. Fork is bulletproof and light as hell.

updated

Sooooo nice.
