Come in today..........19" Sunday Team. After a quick build I noticed there was some play in rear. After further inspection and makin sure everything was snug, it feels like the bottom of the shock is still loose. I gotta call IH and find out what to do... any suggestions??

Other than that this rid is SWEET..........pedals like a dream! Cant wait to bring it to Pkill for the second race. All it was to do it go fasttt.... The welds and craftman ship is excellent TOO!

Oh yeah.... any one else under the impression the team was coming with El-Caminos??

Here are some pics:

yeah i know i gotta center the Bars....

 

[Tenacious Doug]

That grey is a lot nicer in the flesh than in the pictures, I actually quite like that. Maybe its the light but it almost looks like its got a slight blue touch to it???

 

[stubby]

nice rig, i love it, that boxxer looks like its got a inch more tire clearence. does it feel like an sgs at all, and also, how are the bars and the saddle and the boxxer?

Kinda just looks like poor white balance on the camera... Look at the rotor color, it looks blue also.

Anyhow, the bike looks awesome - enjoy it!

 

[Incubus]

Nice rig.

I don't think the el-caminos are available yet. Look like most every other new product from most every other manufacturer, where they were super-aggressive with the date in which they'd be able to supply the OE business.

 

[Jeremy R]

No. Blue rotors are the new silver.
The new spring line if full of them.
They are so hot right now.

 

[pbskis14]

Yeah the camera must be off because its definatly grey....... I like the seat a lot, the bars dont have enough rise for me and the boxxer has to get broken in. Right now it makes a click noise when its about 3 inches into the travel. Sounds like the spring is hitting somthing........

 

[seismic]

Cool bike....looks light !

 

[dhmtbj]

sick rig dude, waiting for mine...this gives me hope it will come soon...where do you live?

 

[pbskis14]

In CT

 

[J5ive]

Wheres your brakes???!!!! I would be soo pissed. I rode a pait of el caminos today and they kick the arse of mags. Thats plain theft right there. COMPLAIN your arse off.

 

[pbskis14]

Yeah im going to call about them tomorrow and see whats up.

 

[.:Jeenyus:.]

I got a 7point7 a little while ago and the shock is loose also.....

 

[mack]

Hey where in Ct are you? And is that boxxer already leaking oil!???

 

[mcA896]

your bars arent centered. heh.

edit: dayum. that is uber sweet.

Most catalogs or websites have a disclaimer that specs can change at any time. Would you guys rather have to wait for your complete bike? Or get a bike with brakes that are available. Its not like they Downgraded you to cable DIE-techs or something.....

Mack...what oil?

My Monster has more oil on it's stanctions than that Boxxer shows in the picture. All I see is a oil/dust ring.

 

[Red Bull]

The Caminoes arent out to most manufacturers yet ( guessing, Norco has 'em) but the BFL/MAG combo is a sick brake...

 

[bansheefr]

yeah i live in Middlebury CT............. I was readin up about the Boxxer, I gues there is a sponge like ring that keeps puting oil on the stantions r somthin.

I got my MK III early last week.
After I got it mostly built (headset, forks, wheels) I found a bit of play in the lower shock mount. Bolts were tight so I brought it back to the shop where I bought it. They said that on every Sunday they had recieved they had the same problem and had to grind the spacer down or something.
I was distracted talking to the owner and another guy but could hear the grinding wheel going in the back room. In about 5 minutes the mechanic brought the bike out and play was mostly gone, but not completely. I didn't really pay attention to what they did exactly, but If you don't get the info you need from IH I could call and ask him exactly what they did.
The owner was goin to talk to the IH rep and find out what the story was on the bushings.

Yeh, there is something wack going on with the bearings and linkage plates that requires some modifications.

The first batch of ironhorses in Australia and new zealand had problems with the frame ovalising around the bearings due to some probs with the bearings being the incorrect tolerances. The frames linkage plates were also rubbing on the frame in various locations.

Iron horse started shipping new bearings and modified linkage plates with the ironhorses and dealer are suppsoed to fit them prior to leaving the shop but from what i can gather they are still having issues.

The SGS fromn last year also had problems with it being loose between the shock and the frame. Maybe this is just a trait of iron horses that DW designed in to make them faster some how

It's funny that neither DW or SKA todd chip into ANY of these threads and let people know what the hell is going on. Im sure it will be a sweet bike once the first year bugs are worked out.

 

[danielbender]

I just bought mine from GO-Ride

And i can not belive that a company like IH will put some products to sell in bad conditions!!

I hope that the Sunday's are 100% ready to rock and roll!

And to put a final point in this kind of threads it will be nice the guys from IH or DW talk about it!!!

 

[Salami]

All of the Sunday complete bikes went to Kenisis USA to have the bearing problem taken care of before they shipped out. That is one of the big reasons it took so long for the bikes to ship out.

I think that they are alread in on the US SUndays. That is why there was that wait.

 

[Matt D]

I'm going to be bummed if I get one with Mag's and not el caminos!!!

Still, that's a sweet ride man, you know you love it!

 

[pbskis14]

Yeah...............talked to IH today. I gues Progressive made the bushings slightly over boured. So they are making new bushing that should be ready in a month or somthin. That will take care of the play in the rear suspension. Hayes could not keep up with the demand for the El Camenos so I gues the teams are coming with Mags for the rest of the year. No sure about the WC.
