How does the bike ride with the 'forward geometry' thing. Much different to your previous bikes?

well my last dh bike was a stinky so its 20x better than that, but my trail bike was a cube fritzz 26er which i rode dh quite abit, and although at first the summum felt really long I soon got used to it and love it, and the forward geometry (i think) helped my riding position!

Awh man, I'm so awkward. I should've got them done before the service.

Maybe time to practice or wait for fall then do it up, not recommend but if your real careful you can get the wipers off to do a really good job, but u bugger them up you'll have to get a new set, but doing wipers is a breeze to replace so I'd just pop em of re-paint the rebuild, it's the safest way unless your a masking tape master lol I'm pretty good but not that good lol
Ride them out now, wait for the next service, Its better to do it with the seals out, and the fork apart. wait till next yeah. or carefully take out the seals, but that means you have to it, or get anouther shop to do it. Do it your self man, they are easy, realy easy compared to other forks.

Do your components and nuts and bolts green on a black frame it would look sick, I would but all my gear is red/black/white so I stuck with that and added nice shiny gold in.

I'm also a designer so coming up with stuff is easy for me but sit back and look at it put together and you'll come up with an idea, but best if things are good, look good do the other parts not the ones that are already good lol.

yeah that look good to anything with green and black looks good in my eyes seen some red and green before too and it even look sick, even though I thought it would clash, nope looked awesome, but blue and green or Derks suggestion of purple and green would look so sick if done right on a black frame.

Some sick stuff you can do with that heat form vinyl if you take some time to do it as clean as possible, I'll post some of the stuff I found and got on order to give you guys some idea's, think you'll all like what I came up with and very easy to do if you are patient and take your time.

Decal Design & Video Editing PC all setup this is an old Photo will update with new ones once I get it all setup, now it's the painful time fixing up the hard drives and getting everything organized.

Yeah realized after I was done laying it had an extra letter and was like f%#* and said screw it since it was my first try back in early 2013 but mostly impressed with how the images turned out, other side turned out perfect.

Well come across another great supplier for rare to find Marzocchi parts hunting for some inner pins, was surprised to find them and that they have some really good pricing.
