hey evryone
my freind thinks he is reali clever, he has decided to get some super monster t's and is about to put them on his olds style v10 i think this is a very stupid idear as it will mess with the geormety to a huge scale
he wants them because he thinks he does drops (12ft his biggest) i think if he does larger drops on them that the headtube will snap off as the frame is not made for such a large fork!
what is everyone else opinions

thanks guys

There's a guy who rides at our local hill (Blue Mountain) with the old style V-10 with a Super. He has a 24in wheel in the front and 26 in the back. He seems to like it, I've seen him two differant years, so it'll at least last a season. Not my cup of tea though.

ahaha ive seen that as well, dude rocks a huge ponytail and it looks like he spent all his coin on his fork and frame

my buddy had super monsters, more of a novelty that will wear off when he gets sick of pedalling everywhere, frame should be fine

It will most likely mess up the geo... But its his choice and his $$$ so if he wants to do it, let him

maybe he wants to buy my old azonic loveseat to go with his silly too-big bikelol . ($10 says he already has one though) no goofy megabike is complete without the loveseat!

my bud had one on his old v10 looked stupid and handeled stupid.

people seem to think the more you spend the better it is,or the more travel you have the less of a chance you have falling off.

and that tank is just overkill,nice to see the old lawwill design though.

that thing would float down stairs like they werent there,and you could probably huck to flat all day,but deffo overkill.

the other problem my friend had on the v10 was that the monster was quite stiff in comparison to his rear setup which didnt help at all,he maybe got like through 4 inches of travel in the front while the back had blown through it.

and the monster was designed for hucking not for the ellegance of downhill bike like the v10 if you know what i mean.

yeah i know wht you mean but the other thing is with the tank bike thing is forks are stiff for first inch then just dive the rest and the back just dont move at alll with my WHOLE weight on it
and the v10 will just be weird he will set em both up on softerst settings haa

Why are you worrying so much about it... if hes an idiot, let him do what he wants.
