This is probably a really stupid question... But I bought a used status. Its the 2013 status 2. Does that mean i have the 2013 boxxer rc? or do i have a 2012 boxxer? Does the bike year match the year of the fork? Thanks guys.

Changed a few things on her, now with full DH tires, Enve DH bars and Chromag stem weights 35lbs and 6 oz
Love it I'm sure your gf loves it too!
Does anyone know if this headset will fit the status headtube? I'm so close to get one and change the tapered fork with a straight one but I'm afraid that I'll end up with rather expensive headset and a fork that won't fit the current one.
I am currently running a SRAM x9 short cage derailleur on my 2013 status with a 10 spd DH cassette. Like others, I am having problems with tuning the derailleur to run properly without hitting the chainstay while in the smallest cog. I have played with limits & B Screw.
I am thinking about changing to a Zee derailleur to try to fix this problem (not sure if it will). I have seen others talk about getting the DH vs FR version to try to solve this problem. Has anybody discovered a solution for this? Can someone please specify which would be best for the status?

Yeah that headset will fit on a Status frame. I bought the same headset last year, though I have yet to put it on (long story). You gonna increase the toptube or decrease it?

Thank you I'm happy to hear that! I believe I'm as tall as you are (6'0 or 183cm) and ride a medium (like you use to do) so I'd like to increase the reach. To make a long story short, my local dealers had only mediums in stock and the forecasts had been that the next statuses (same year - 2015) are going to cost 30% more due to the USD/EUR problem, so I took the chance and got a medium. I hope it is going to be way better with a 45-50mm stem and a 7mm headset.
ive always liked how the status looked as a bike and I really like one but sadly I don't think I could use to it to its full potential as there's no downhill within 200 miles of me and I don't drive don't know what the public transport like in the rest of world or even rest of the uk really but down here in Suffolk and east its very crap. trains depend day to day hour to hour sometimes its fine to take your bike sometimes the same bike 3 hours later is a fire hazard apparently some days I cant take it full stop because its "too big" and would block a aisle. busses seem to have a weight limit "confusing" and cant carry a large bike because its something or other.

Until then, just use the trains to get to where you want to be & bum lifts off mates
