Adam, left you a vm. Nice msg btw.
So I picked up my new gravity whip today....now I reaaally want to get back up to N*/Mammoth....
Picked up a Socom yesterday 
Put I9's on it (got my back up set back!), building it AM/FR dual ring front! I hear they have to pedal in Idaho! So when Im not at 1 of 4 local lift assisted resorts with the Jedi Ill pedal a little (LMAO, Thats not going to happen).

wtf Joe?!! pics now!
or at least some details
I picked up the Demo 9. Too good of a deal to pass up. I figured if I don't like it, I can easily get my money back out of it and either sell it or swap the frame. It actually isn't back for being a small after pedaling around for a bit. A little cramped sitting, but feeling pretty good while standing. I had to change the brakes around already to keep from killing myself, since the guy had them set up moto style. I will get some pics up, maybe tomorrow.
right on dude.. it won't be fun to pedal for any period of time, but it'll be nice and nimble on the downhills, like a 45 pound BMX bike hahaha
i'm really hoping that Mammoth gets their trails in shape for the 4th.
So far it's been looking pretty weak sauce

Yah, it didnt feel like a small. Did he hook it up with a diff spring?
i actually believe it was a different stroke shock, that brought the Demo to 9"... he had it set up as an 8"
did he include that Joe?
I just picked up the bike last night. He is still going to give me another spring that is a bit stiffer, along with the shock to run the bike as a 9". I think it is a swinger or something. I will probably just up the spring a little bit and leave it as an 8" with the DHX on there.
On a side note, I got my new blingin' Straitline pedals today that will be going on the Demo and the Eastons that are on the Demo will go to the Canfield.....
I still think I might replace the Balance with a Slopestyle frame....

if you are gonna unload the balance, talk to me about it. not 100% in the market, but i could be persuaded.
I really like the way the bike rides and handles, but there is really no way to set it up as a dual ring setup. I ended up putting an STS on it. The bike rocked up at N* at pretty much everything but the super rock gnar. I just really want a dual ring setup because I suck at the climbing...even with a 32 up front
then wtf is this?
what seems to be the problem?

That brace on the swingarm is in the way. There is no possible way that you could be in 1/1. The bike works great as a single ring setup. You might be able to go with an ISIS crank setup and space the cranks out enough, but I had already dropped the coin on Saints. Looks like that dude has Saints on his, I would love to know if he actually uses that granny ring in 1/1 if you know who the owner is. I have another swingarm that Canfield sent me, but it looks the same and I just haven't had the motivation to tear it apart, maybe it will give a bit more clearance.
Also, to put it this way, you could probably make it work, but it is way too much effort than I am willing to put in. It works well right now and if it ain't broke....

I'm up at Mammoth, came up last night and rode today. Most trails seemed pretty unkept but still fun. I miss N*.
