I actually dig the TAG wheels, I hear those things are f***ing INDESTRUCTABLE and mega stable. The weight doesn't matter if you switch to Eastons for race days, and the TAGs stand out on the trail.
I just think its funny that they are on a bike with an air shock and air sprung fork, cause its kind of a contradiction. But then again, you don't want to have to switch fork and shock just for race days, so I guess it makes sense.
...at first i thought WTF - WHY! but it remindes me of my old GT Show BMX - and still that bike has to go down in the UGLY books - WHY do that to a perfectly good design - WHY?
I have a set of easton havic dh wheels and tires that drop 3.5 pounds off for racedays I use the tags for practice and nasty dh races, Plus I keep the easton fresh and new just for races.
best looking bike i have ever seen.....i look at it daily and i use it as my DH goal bike.Do you know how much is the frame alone? (i'd like to buy every part seperatly....and i dont like RockShox,i'd put a fox40 or 88 i have a street bike ,i never did DH,but because of ur bike,i now want to do DH
Thanks I like it alot. I'm looking at getting the new fox worldcup forks for it and a elka rear shock with ti spring to finish it off then new DXR crank set 170mm. but the boxxer world cup is a sweet shock to.
The aline is much heavier then the team dh because of the different rear ends this one is 38.9 pounds with my easton havic dh wheels and It could go lighter with the right parts.
I agree the aline is heavy the part kit and the new frame or at least rear end over built the team dh has a totally different rear end which cuts a lot of the weight off of it. the new bike does ride much lower and more stable at speed then last years.
A small out of box with 2.35 tires lg-1 chain guide and light wheels My race setup is with the havic dh wheelset drop me to 38.9, 43.8 is with tags and 2.5 2 ply tires for training. plus these wheels are bomb proof.
