coralcorn (Apr 26, 2009 at 21:39)

commencel (Apr 26, 2009 at 21:42)

coralcorn (Apr 26, 2009 at 21:49)

has there ever even been a broken F5?

coralcorn (Feb 7, 2010 at 11:07)

nope.. they have like a .03% faliure rating

D-ponko (Feb 7, 2010 at 21:50)

what does that really mean?

coralcorn (Feb 7, 2010 at 22:58)

supposedly only .3% of their frames have been brought back broken.. I snapped a derailer hanger it took them 5 weeks to send me a new one.. either its true and they dont know what to do when someone asks for a replacement part or its B.S and they are people who just couldnt spend the 5 minutes to get my order through

D-ponko (Feb 7, 2010 at 23:33)

so how would it work if not even one of there frames has been brought back?

coralcorn (Feb 7, 2010 at 23:35)

how would what work?

D-ponko (Feb 8, 2010 at 0:37)

so that means that not even 1 percent of owners had problems? so not even one broke? or am i just way off? I just can't tell because the welding on the top and bottom tube is covered. o hope the welds meet before the top tube.

http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2799790/ in other words it isn't like this?

coralcorn (Feb 8, 2010 at 6:58)

there frames are strong as hell. the geometry might be a bit off and as you saw that one race they can be quite loud.. to be honest the linkage is the same as commencal with the dog bone.. I would prolly go with a commi over the chumba since there lighter and better geometry..

holy hell! where did all the chumba's with the sickest parts come from?

coralcorn (Jan 16, 2009 at 19:37)

the 2 bikes with the worldcup and the fox 40 are demo bikes the middle one is mrpercussive on pinkbike.

coralcorn (Jan 16, 2009 at 19:45)

boxxer worldcup

coralcorn (Jan 16, 2009 at 19:46)

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.

coralcorn (Jan 16, 2009 at 21:04)

ummmmm not so much. Its made to be a downhill racing bike.

rffr (Jan 17, 2009 at 7:18) (Below Threshold) show comment

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.

Woah, you sound like you know everything!

coralcorn (Jan 17, 2009 at 14:06)

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

AqueousBeef (Jan 17, 2009 at 16:40)

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?

AqueousBeef (Jan 17, 2009 at 16:41)

Also, a Boxxer Team with WC internals will save you a couple hundos

coralcorn (Jan 17, 2009 at 16:46)

already got a boxxer world cup so no need

AqueousBeef (Jan 17, 2009 at 16:48)

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

coralcorn (Jan 17, 2009 at 16:49)

yup.. now just gotta wait for my frame and build to come such a long wait when you cant ride anything. did my last ride today before not having a bike at all

AqueousBeef (Jan 17, 2009 at 16:53)

My mom won't give me the money she owes me so I can't get my road bike working. I know how it feels Confused

coralcorn (Jan 17, 2009 at 16:55)

haha that sucks. I just sold it off to afford the fork since I couldnt get one with my complete build. Now just gotta wait for the bike to ship and stuff

mrpercussive (Jan 17, 2009 at 17:22)

hahahaha... i see my bike... man i miss my Fayre... few more weeks and i'm headed down to Fontana... hohoho

coralcorn (Jan 17, 2009 at 18:11)

coralcorn (Mar 12, 2009 at 14:46)

commencel (Mar 12, 2009 at 21:31)

coralcorn (Mar 12, 2009 at 21:33)

oh yah, same thing about how his bike is super nice. its so old.

mrpercussive (Apr 26, 2009 at 18:23)

Shivers are actually pretty sick. Best feeling fork i've ever felt up in person imo. Only problem is, they weigh like 9lbs... no thanx...
