I even have one of those two set up, but I don't recall the sign on, and have been too lazy to set one up. Maybe I will.splat said:
That looks pretty sweet.loco said:I have the carbon guard back ordered. I will make something in the mean time. I don't ride in the mud.
I got this frameset.
Is yours going to be built close to that?? That looks sweet! Happy trails!loco said:I have the carbon guard back ordered. I will make something in the mean time. I don't ride in the mud.

Yes, yes you doloco said:
Any reason for the 5's over the 7's? I know all you get differently is the adjustability, but it's a damn nice feature.loco said:Build is this -

I think that will build a bike
Color - I have some 7s on the XC bike (which I could run on here) but I don't use the knob. I don't know which brakes Julie is getting, so I haven't ruled out 7s, but mostly, I like the color of the 5s. That's really why.robdamanii said:
Anodized black?loco said:
I hope not. I would not pick coffee, but that's what they come in. I almost had a Reign 3 stripped, which I would do, but it didn't come with an RP3, and wasn't going to be cheaper. I called PUSH and they said that the Float would not tune as well, so I just ordered this. I plan to sent my old RP3 off this weekend to have it valved for this frame. They say it blows through the middle of its travel, so I want to valve it. I would not opt for coffee, but liked the frame, so I will live with it. It's a crappy color, not a crappy paint job. I know I bitched about the Bullit that Diesel bought, but ugly paint is better than bad paint. It may look nice though.jdschall said:
That colour looks pretty damned nice, at least in the photos. Don't knock it until you get it under natural sunlight.loco said:

After a couple rides with my x9 and x0....i'm never going back to Shimano. I like the 1:1 way too much.stosh said:

Took a little getting used to (MTB Weekend) but I really love mine too!

X9?stosh said:
From every review and shop owner I've seen/spoken to, the X0 is a whole lot stronger.stosh said:
yes. of course.stinkyboy said:
I disliked the X9/X0 shifters I had. I thought the thumb levers were unfriendly and hard to set up, and I didn't like the high normal after I rode rapid rise. I am not willing to drop the coin to try X0 pods, even though they look nice. I think SRAM is on their way to being what people hate about Shimano anyway. Not that I care about that.stosh said:
stosh said:
It's integrated and to use the King Perdido, the head tube must be reamed. That will void the warranty. It comes with a headset, which I hope is a ZS2 or ZS6. If it is not, I likely will swap it with the one in the Jamis.stinkyboy said:
