Hey guys, since the other DH bikes threads are all getting marked with AM bikes, i decided to make a new thread, with some heavier rules. not too many, but enough to keep out the AM bikes.

Rules.(apart from Pinkbike's already stated rules)
-No Flaming.
-Not a lot of swearing.
-No AM bikes.
-No Light FR bikes.
-No Trail bikes.
-Only DH bikes.
-Talk about DH bikes.
-No stupid shizzy.
-No Hardtails.
-No TROLLING.

Keep it legit guys.

My 2007 Norco Shore3.

Something about your cat just cracks me up. It is trying to see how much tread is left!

Not too well Frown

Broke my arm on it. Probably more because of the tires though. As you can see they're practically bald. But it rode ok.... very 'ok' though. Ideally you need 2 Vivid Airs in there, that'd be mean. But they were horrible shocks.

Forks were dece though. Off Joe Barne's old orange so custom tuned by RS for him. Very subtle but VERY linear. Pretty much no ramp up at all.

Totally. Blindside > every other bike i've ever ridden

I Love it Fab

So much better on the rough stuff and so much more predictable and simple. I've only ever owned SP bikes, basically because I love them, they're predictable, low maintenance and they work well.

Just had to bump up my rear spring to a 500 though as it had a 450 on it, me being 6 foot and nearly 90kg made it like 35-40% sag Razz

2-Stages are amazing, IF you set them up right and IF you spend a LOT of money getting them serviced every month or so. The shocks are ok if they're freshly serviced. But the design needs a few kinks worked out. Longer stroke shocks and lower leverage ratios. They run at about 200PSI which is a lot for shocks, so unless you ran the first shock at 70% sag it'd be very chattery,

im rocking around 30-40% on my shore, planned to get a stiffer spring, learned to soak more shit up with my legs. have LOVED it ever since the first ride.
Simple Pivot Bikes Ftw.
