Brooklyn Machine Works SR 6 Mt. Tom Tech Ride 11-20-11

Sunday am in church riding the most tech line from the top of Mt. Tom in Arcadia along the cliff. Zero dabs ! I was stoked. My trick new Halloween orange front fender from the mighty mighty SEADEVIL. Thanks bro ! The new Brooklyn design works,and works well ! It pedaled just like my old BB7s did only, lighter and more stable at speed, if you can believe that !! ...Unreal !!

 Good ride bro...the rocks at the top looked like you had to know the route or you would be over to the right and down a bloody cliff !!! Fast run out near the bottom....I couldn't do that section clipped in.... The Brooklyn looks sweet and the fender suits that front end....RRP still on it's way and that you can try on her also. I need cash and I'll be over next year bro, gotta ride the USA forests !!!

 They messed my order up bro, had to email them this morning. When they cancelled the valve caps, they forgot the RRP also, I just put in my order for tyres and seatclamp and the status on them is sent! They are sorting it out today....

 SR6 has 6 inches and the bomber 66 has 7 inches. The progressiveness of the link and the avalanche make it feel like 10 !!!! Cant wait to fly this thing on some dry mountain days !

 I was riding a 2010 66 RC3 last season...and when it came time to buy a fork for my dh sled, I didn't think twice about getting the 888...stiff and surefooted on fast and gnarly sections, yet super plush and small bump sensitive...the 66 has to be the best do-it-all fork on the market...looks like the perfect match for that frame...

 I had 888s the first year they came out, they were/are fantastic and I've always loved Marzocchi stuff. Of course I am an Avalanche freak now..... the 66 seems pretty nice, I have to mess with the damping to get it suited to what I am going to do with it ! I have big burly drop/gravity rigs, and wanted this to be rugged, but still capable of most things I would throw at it..... I am getting a bit long in the tooth for 30 footers to flat !

 Have you seen the avalanche advantage for the 888's ?? Check it out if you can ! BIG difference !!
  • + 1
 I used to ride Fox everything and I saw the light, lolol. !!!!...I will look into that Avalanche kit for 888 tonight...I'm really curious now !!!
  • + 1
 ....Drool ....I would have to send my fork to them as I would not even know which of the four available kits/upgrades/cartridges for the 888 alone to choose from Very confused Very confused Very confused ...funny that we talked about this, because I was thinking of sending it to Ronnie at Marzocchi to have it overhauled with Ti...to tell you the truth, I'm not fast enough to even dip into the ocean of performance that the 888 offers, lolol....

 The machine helps push the rider..... :o) you would be way faster, bigger, stronger with new sussy work !!

 You'll LOVE the avalanche, believe me, nothing better !! I have been testing and abusing this stuff since they first opened their doors and have never even blown a seal....I can't tell you how many dozens of fox, manitou and 5ths I have blown up doing things not really that radical !! You will never go back to toy suspension once you try it bro !! Craig at Avy will custom valve and build for you, to your liking, style, and level of rider.... tell him Jeff from Razees sent ya ! He'll take good care of ya !
  • + 1
 dude...it sounds great !!!...I found Razees motorcycles (right state and all, hhaaha) but for some reason, I could not even connect to the web page..I wanted to look into your stuff...I will be looking more seriously into this suspension upgrade pretty soon...it will be my winter project...I also want to have my frame powder coated or hard anodized (flat black velvet)...

 Is that a direct mount marzocchi stem ur running with singles!!!???
  • + 1
 Yeah i had it laying around my shop since the first year of the 888.....just a temp until i figure out what bar and stem height,length and width i want to settle on! Those early direct mounts could also be used on 1-1/8 steerers.
