What about your plans for your rear shock??? Hmmmmmmm...I might have an idea for you. I'll PM you about it.
it was too late to call it off, so i may have to delay the PUSH idea
Brian seems to have his priorities set right, the CKs are better and more bling, hence why hes getting them over hopes, or atleast thats why i did.Originally posted by Bulldog
Did you order spares/replacements for the near future as well? lol
No Hope hubs? Isn't that blasphemy to you?
And zedro, my thoughts on the EX823s, mine has somewhere between 5-6 flatspots in it. My plan is to ride the thing till it snaps into pieces, no need to order extras, go-ride is just a call away
All i gotta say is good luck, your bike is even heavier than mine, and your shock is probably less plush
bah, all this doom and gloom over them...i'll be fine. I'm not hard on stuff anyways, seeing as i'm such a finess rider....Originally posted by ViolentVolante

Its QR, but I got the heavy duty axle with Fun Bolts. Actually the opening for the fun bolts is about 11mm, Looks like it would be easy to drill out, if someone was daring besides V V.
I know, I just built a set of 823's with Hope Big Un's, which are in great shape still, however since its a 5 bolt rotor it doesn't work that well with the M6 caliper, so I desided to try CK's (Plus getting them for EP didn't hurt eitherOriginally posted by Bulldog

I ran a set for a year, including 2 weeks doing some proper rocky DH out in the Alps and got no flatspots.Originally posted by zedro

I drilled out the standard QR hub, that was alot of material.
Yes it is
I think it would be a great rim for 6" of travel.
I just had a set of 823's built on Kings - unbelievable set up. Light, strong....I'll give it a month or so before I claim "durable" but so far, it's by far the nicest wheelset I've ever owned.
Hopefully you'll have good luck with them.
Cool maybe that means the rims for my SS will be in soon.
You get 6" of travel out of your rim?
I'm no expert but I think your spokes might not be tight enough.
Nope, its the new coil spoke.
no thats whats the major selling point of the 823s, the rims give you an extra 6in on those really rough hits
Well, they started out straight.....but after your fat arse rode 'em.......
Dude, I've lost 20lbs since Feb and down to 185, so you are WAY fatter than me.
