sam264 (Sep 22, 2009 at 12:29)

bxxer-rider (Sep 22, 2009 at 12:57)

cheers, gd u got a chain guide, makes a huge difference

sam264 (Sep 22, 2009 at 13:45)

yeah for sure, you got one yet?

bxxer-rider (Sep 22, 2009 at 14:16)

yeh i have a black spire stinger, what you got?

sam264 (Sep 22, 2009 at 14:35)

nice one, i got a raceface atlas dual ring one, in case i decided to get a dual ring up front Smile

bxxer-rider (Sep 22, 2009 at 15:16)

oh fair doo, well i have dual ring up front and for 17quid the stinger was an easy option lol

sam264 (Sep 22, 2009 at 15:34)

fair play, i probably should have got one of them instead but nevermind lol, the raceface one was £80 but came with a snazzy bashguard Razz

bxxer-rider (Sep 23, 2009 at 9:25)

lol well i got new cranks and they came with one Razz

, and before i had a black spire bash, that were only 24quid...i think

sam264 (Sep 23, 2009 at 11:51)

cool, what cranks did you get?

bxxer-rider (Sep 23, 2009 at 11:54)

i got deore as it was what i could afford at the time

sam264 (Sep 23, 2009 at 13:01)

ah cool, not too bad Smile

bxxer-rider (Sep 23, 2009 at 13:12)

nop but ill prob end up breaking them in some way or another lol

sam264 (Sep 23, 2009 at 13:19)

if you can afford it, get some raceface evolve dh cranks some time, i got some used for £60 inc chainring and BB almost brand new and they're awesome Smile

bxxer-rider (Sep 23, 2009 at 13:46)

sounds like a good deal, but id prob get some slx's or xt deores next time, loving the shimanio crank axel.

how come you're selling? wanting a 222/3?

bxxer-rider (Nov 5, 2009 at 13:16)

yeh, it does not have enough travel, if i carry on with this bike i will just kill it, so want to sell before any thing bad happens and get a more DH race dedicated bike, still a bomb prof bike.

sam264 (Nov 5, 2009 at 13:17)

awesome

bxxer-rider (Nov 5, 2009 at 13:44)

yeh, reason i want a 222/223 is that i pretty much as exact same geo just more travel, and thats all i want.

sam264 (Nov 5, 2009 at 13:47)

yeah thats fair enough, get the 223 if you can, it has an inch or two more travel, you can pick the frames up pretty cheap too

bxxer-rider (Nov 5, 2009 at 13:55)

im looking at a 222 frame that is down the road (well only just the other side of the DH spot) which is a good deal just gotta shift this frame!

sam264 (Nov 5, 2009 at 14:01)

ahhh sweet, yeah patriot frames can be a bugger to shift, i ended up trading mine for the scott (mint deal), stick it on ebay 99p no reserve and it will go

bxxer-rider (Nov 5, 2009 at 14:29)

hummm but tbh i need to garente that i get enough money from this frame as i have no other money really so id be stuck if it didn't sell for enough

sam264 (Nov 5, 2009 at 14:33)

yeah, i know what you mean, thats the way to do it if you want it gone fast though

bxxer-rider (Nov 6, 2009 at 9:04)

hummm but im in talks with some one who may be able to pay soon.

sam264 (Nov 6, 2009 at 12:32)

awesome

btw just won a set of pikes in amazing condition off ebay for a very nice price!

bxxer-rider (Nov 6, 2009 at 12:35)

oh fair doo, my mate has some pikes on his hardtail, very good forks from my experience of them.

sam264 (Nov 6, 2009 at 12:46)

yeah i've heard nothing but good about them, so i figure i can't go wrong. A bit heavier than the manitous, but hopefully worth it.

bxxer-rider (Nov 6, 2009 at 13:06)

i know first hand that the dampening cartridge in the pike is awesome!
and well manitou has a bad rep, i reckon the weight gained on you bike will be worth it, the lock out really does work well.

sam264 (Nov 6, 2009 at 13:09)

yeah, i had some toras and they were great for the money, so i'm expecting the pikes to be even better!

bxxer-rider (Nov 6, 2009 at 13:21)

ah yeh, tbh when i ride them i was doing a bit of light DH on them for a couple of runs (swopped bikes for a couple of runs) felt great for a short travel single crown, very stiff, you will not be disappointed.

sam264 (Nov 6, 2009 at 13:26)

cool, just what i'm looking for, something between XC and DH Smile

bxxer-rider (Nov 6, 2009 at 14:57)

well its suppose to be a XC fork isont it? well its DH worthy.

sam264 (Nov 6, 2009 at 15:33)

it's more all mountain than xc

colby65 (Nov 19, 2009 at 10:29)

could you use this 4 downhill and wats the size

bxxer-rider (Nov 19, 2009 at 11:13)

i do use it for DH, and the size is small (14-16 inch bb to seat tube, low standover)

[Reply]

colby65 (Nov 19, 2009 at 11:52)

alright then does anythin get included with the frame?

bxxer-rider (Nov 19, 2009 at 14:02)

shock, thats about it to be honest

colby65 (Nov 19, 2009 at 14:06)
