Inspiring! I have my deore 615's on their way and my machine requires general cleaning and maintenance - can't wait for brakes to arrive now!

The Marz rear shocks aren't ready yet, I know a guy who's team is sponsored by Marz and he's got the fork but is running a ccdb while he waits for the new Marz rear

If they're supported by marzocchi why is there a fox shock and seatpodt

SamDF (Apr 21, 2014 at 1:24)

Not sure about the shock but the post is a KS Lev Integra I think :-)

lozzerbiker (Apr 21, 2014 at 1:28)

Oh my bad, kinda raises more questions tho

dingus (Apr 21, 2014 at 3:53)

Not really, Marzocchi don't make a seatpost, KS don't make suspension, no conflict there.

MattGreenwood (Apr 21, 2014 at 5:45)

@lozzerbiker The seatpost doesn't really, seen as Marzocchi don't produce a dropper seatpost and KS don't really produce high-end shocks and forks, then there is little question, but I think you are right about the shock, I'm surprised there isn't a Marz shock there, but maybe the frame was designed for/works better with a Float X

lozzerbiker (Apr 21, 2014 at 6:07)

Yeh I suppose, they could have put different stickers on like CGs been doing on his fork

joshirwin1406 (Apr 21, 2014 at 9:26)

The Conti team, as it stands don't have a shock sponsor. Thats why they are running the Fox shocks!

lozzerbiker (Apr 21, 2014 at 11:45)

Sponsored by marzocchi, who also make shocks...

joshirwin1406 (Apr 21, 2014 at 13:11)

Yeah, they make shocks but its specifically the forks that they are entitled to with sponsor.

Your saying this bike looks amazing in the video, it looks even nicer in person!

This is one sexy bike

I'm pretty sure it's also really bad to clamp on a dropper post like that, putting so much force on it, probably stretching the bushing inside.

lukachadwick (Apr 21, 2014 at 7:04)

I'm pretty sure that he downward force of the frame (about 13kg) is less strain on the post than a person (let's say 80kg) even though the weight of a person is spread out through the bars and pedals as well as the saddle, I am sure they can take more strain than the weight of the frAme.

Edsward (Apr 21, 2014 at 7:30)

I'd be more worried about scratching it

JoeyBratten (Apr 21, 2014 at 7:52)

@Lukachadwick, you're completely missing the point. The frame's weight wont be acting downwards entirely, the will be a large portion of it creating a moment on the seat post flexing it horizontally not vertically like it is designed to be, this moment will also be exaggerated due to the seat post acting as a lever. Hence my question!

andyd2506 (Apr 21, 2014 at 9:18)

WTF??? who gives a shit if he should or shouldn't have clamped the f*cking post, look at the bike......

JoeyBratten (Apr 21, 2014 at 9:30)

@andyd2506, Yeah because as long as it looks good, who cares if it's damaging it, f*cking moron.

@JoeyBratten, oh another keyboard warrior, look at me i can talk to so hard when i'm on the laptop at home sniffing my mums knickers wanking over her Very catalog.
your the f*cking moron, with no sense of humour, don't you have a sister to go finger inbred prick.

kwyn (Apr 21, 2014 at 22:20)

bit harsh Andy, after all his mum may have a littlewoods catalog. lmfao.

JoeyBratten (Apr 22, 2014 at 2:25)

@andyd2506 Haha, funny how sheep shagging andy is first to point fingers when he's been proved wrong. Go f*ck yourself, you repugnant human being.

lawman91 (Apr 22, 2014 at 4:03)

Way to make us brits look like dicks boys... Back on topic, the bike looks sick! Need some of the crossmax enduros in my life!

EuanBisset145 (Apr 22, 2014 at 5:25)

I'd just like to point out when climbing seated, forces just like you described will be acting on the seat post only greater. Even on flat ground the force won't be acting straight down on the seatpost it will still be at an angle. So if the post can't stand up to holding 12-14kg in the way shown then I wouldn't be buying that post.
