most important is, how does it dirt jump?

Mainly just a decent29 shot finally. Put i9s on and a few other things

dialed! i really like the touch of blue throughout. How wide are your bars?

Got a better shot of mine, I'm pissed my FSR chainstay protector fell off Cry
Tube and duct tape for a temp fix

Snapped a better shot of the current setup. Need to get a new FSR chainstay protector. Next up is going to be a short cage X.O saint cranks and a thompson stem.
I know what you mean! mine just disappeared one day like it just was gone and never was found

I still Think Marzocchi 66's are a safe bet for that sort of money

Can I ask what Chain guides people are running on there old style Sx trails... I need a new guide so Im just wondering what ones fit best etc...

Cheers

IMO go for a 180 fork. If you can get a 66 rc3 go for that, or if you can have the extra cash, 2011's for the 66's, and Fox 36 Van/Float 180 RC2's.

Stock on mine is like smoke/gunmetal, looks badass imo. Polishing them should be cool too; my buddy polished the sides of the magnesium rocker of his '11 Demo. It was pretty nice actually.

Its stripping the ano and any place doing the part can put it in the etch tank to remove the layer and then re anodize it.

Its simple and if they can throw it in with a batch it I'll make it cheaper than 1 small part vs a batch fee.

If you have a anodized link and want to remove the oxide layer and polish it use oven cleaner it strips anodizing
