A boxxer on a chumba? Heeeeck no.

That thing deserves waaaay better. Proto dorado, 888's. Totems would fit if ya going the rockshox route.

boxxers are too "racy" for a chumba IMO. But heck whatever floats your boat. Personally I'd throw a shiver with a stainless axle on it. That thing would be a rocket.

Just like every other dh bike. A chumba still is capable of more serious free ride than others... hence me saying that.

Chumbas are known for strength. I know it. The riders know it. The same as my tomac mag 204. Sure it was designed for racing only, but it can handle anything you will ever throw at it.

Really a shame big mountain riders arent using chumbas as much as there is more potential with that companies than many others out there.

i agree with what he said.. chumba F5's have a .03% failiure rating. I am racing DH with it hence why i am using a boxxer world cup also the fact that it is very light

I'm sorry but I have no clue what that means. To me that says out of every 10000 frames, 3 break for one reason or another, it's just an arbitrary statistic. Do you know the failure rates of any other bikes?

Well in that case, sounds great! Boxxers are awesome forks. Definitely better than 888's
