Picked up some Hayes 9's w/ a seized rear caliper, guess I'll fix it tomorrow. On the other hand, a new front singletrack is on. Will also pick up a rear one when I get paid. It's coming along slowly.

I actually will still buy the mags, I got the nines for free and they will make their way onto my little brothers bike.

Not really sure, probably dirt or something stuck in the piston and keeping it from going back in. Bahh doesn't matter.

Like CR said I'll probably pick up some Protapers too. I found out the bars currently on are 24" longEek ...

What's it sportin in the rear? Suspension wise?

My buddy has the same rig & the pedal bob was pretty bad. An rp23 solved the problem quite nicely though.

It's got a Vanilla RC in back with a 600lbs spring. I solved most of the pedal-bob with the new spring.

I'm 230lbs and was almost bottoming with a 450 and 500... 600 was the only option and feels amazing.

of course you would start by the most important right? it makes sense. but he refuses to do so.

well good luck with your new white and red components, i'm sure it wont be a massive waste of money in an attempt to impress passerbys on the trail - i suspect a raging success. peace
how about you stop being a douchebag. ok?
thank you.
