Nice setup. I like the hub colors

Saweeet fork! Welcome to the 66SL club. You'll love it. If you have any questions about break in, Renegade and I have been through the trials with it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

The Bars are Salso Locos...nice low rise on 'em...
The fork does clear the frame.
Cranks are LX actually...some from another bike I sold...we'll have to see how they hold up. Originally they had a 48/36/26 triple..but i added the DRS and got rid of the 48, so now it has nice gearing with the 36/26 and the 11/32 on the rear.
Not sure on the weight, but I'm going to take it into the shop next week, so I'll post up...
I haven't even fully figured out the cost yet...(it will be depressing) i had some parts...got deals on most of the stuff though...so it's less than you probably think.

no doubt! sweet setup...how long did your SL take to break in? got any tips? I'm running really low in the positives (<20 lbs) , and close to 200 in the negative to get it usuable...i figure it'll break in in time...and it'll setup closer to the recommended pressures.

i had a Z1 SL ('03), but i don't remember it being as stiff and sticky as the 66 is.

it took a bit to break in, 4-5 rides, I am 180lbs, and run about the same main but only 75 in the neg, don't forget the PAR(bottom left leg) chamber, I haven't varried that much yet.

mine weighs 39.25, my cranks are heavier though.

I haven't messed with the PAR. I've only rode it around the house I haven't been able to get it to bottom out....planning on hitting a trail tomorrow, but nothing too serious. I figured i'd figure that out after a few hits.

How are you running your DHX Air? Has it changed any since the beginning? I think i'm running about 150 in the main chamber and it seems i'm getting a little more sag than i should (i weigh about 170). I haven't messed with the bottom out adjustment, it's in it's original position. The shock feels good though. I guess i'm about mid way on the rebound.

well apparently i need to get over the fear of the pump and air it up some more...(the dhx).

i was wondering how much pressure was too much...i'll crank it up tonight and see how she feels.
