CHUMBA F4!

Well after almost 6 months of waiting i finally have had a chance to fix and build this bitch up.

I got a chance to race this beast at Bolton last weekend and it was amazing. Bottomless travel. Felt extremely stabble in open slopes. And rails corners like no other. Im very happy with my choice and am lookin to upgrade over the winter.

Looks good, but man those gussets look crude!

 

[wood-dog]

that looks like a total a$$-kicker what is the travel on the rear of that sexy beast

 

[Shepherdwong]

Rude bike man!
Looks good!:hot:

 

[N I C K]

travel is 8.5

 

[Heath Sherratt]

Nice looking bike. I have always admired the Chumbas. But I am curious about the remote res-do you get more volume? I don't see the need. and is it true that the rear derailleur hangers are not replaceable?

 

[stgil888]

Where did you get that rear shock?

 

[nixhexss]

i believe that's bosch's old shock

 

[bdamschen]

I think those gussets look pretty sweet, they're aluminum right?

Yeah, no replaceable hanger. It's thicker than crap though, if you bend it up i think that's going to be the least of your worries.......

 

[PatBranch]

That thing looks so awsome. My friend is selling one if anyone wants one.

 

[chillindrdude]

nice frame...i used to race one...just watch those pivots for play.

 

[offtheedge]

talk about industrial gussets...that thing is sweet

 

[fuzzynutz]

looks flexy

 

[Total Heckler]

That looks like a sick bike, but is there lots of chain play/slap?

 

[mandown]

the gussets make it look like it was designed for robocop.

lookin' sick.

 

[N I C K]

Yea there is chainslap now i just need to get a 40t ring and i will be all set. and fuzzy nuts, any frame with that type of swingarm is gonna be flexy no matter what.

 

[downhillracer]

i might think about finding a new position for that remote resy, maybe on the swingarm.

 

[Zutroy]

I wouldn't call that rear end flexy at all.

 

[sharkdh]

awesome bicycle...
enjoy every minute you are on it!

 

[TankerX]

pivots crack and the pivot bolt breaks!!! other than that it's a kick ass bike!!!

 

[konastab01]

Looks sick love the graffiti name

DO YOU STILL HAVE THIS BIKE?

 

[Fool]

Why, do you have spare pivot bolts for him?

Do you still have your imperial?

 

[boogenman]

Anyone else remember those Romic shocks

 

[ChrisRobin]

Anyone else remember those Romic shocks

I had a Romic shock on a Nicolai frame back in the day. It wasn't bad. That is a Vanilla DH on the F4. I think only came for a brief period of time on the Kona Stab Primo.

I still loved the look of the Zulu DH.

 

[sethimus]

Anyone else remember those Romic shocks

i had one on my bighit

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Anyone else remember those Romic shocks

On the Joker...

 

[dump]

Romic were a flash on the pan. Couldn’t have been around for more than 5 years.

 

[boogenman]

The Romic on my F4 spent more time at Romic than it did on the bike. It did perform better than the DHX I used when it was getting rebuilt.

 

['size]

Anyone else remember those Romic shocks

<waits for jayem/jm to post his broken romic>

 

[ChrisRobin]

I wonder if it would even be possible to rebuild one at home.

 

[boogenman]

I would replace it with a Avalanche and be done with it.

 

[jonKranked]

i wonder how many bearings that frame has pac-man'd in the 14 years since this thread was started

 

[Westy]

Those gussets are eternally burned into my memory.

 

[lovebunny]

God remember photobucket? Last time I went on that site it was so unusable I just relinquished all my old photos to the aether

Did anyone ever make a remote resi that you carried in your camelbak?
