Do you guys with a 11-6 ride with the DH Mode or uphill/ trailmode more often?
Even with nearly the trail mode fully closed its more supple then all other shocks.

I have both circuits set in my preferred DH mode, second circuit is for little tweaks without having to mess with my base setting

After you stripped the paint did you polish or but it at all?

Better?

How do you find the ST? I am looking at this same bike, mates ask me why I am looking at the lowest spec bike. Simple reason, because I dont see the point in paying more dollaridoos to swap parts out for what I am comfortable running, such as different brand forks (either Manitou or back to Marzocchi), Atomlab parts (good mate is the distro here for them) and a few other parts that are not OEM.

Hit it with steel wool to clean up the left over residue from the paint. Probably spent a total of 30 minutes with that and it produced this finish. Kinda wanna polish the rear end and have it slowly transition to the black front end. We’ll see. I love this goddamn bike so much, I don’t mind putting in the time

Nice! Might do that with my Patrol when I want a change from the wrap. I'll have to check if it interferes with the warranty. You look at the paint wrong and paint falls off anyway...

Great work! I would love one of these. Seems the perfect trail bike. How do you find the MRP's?

Not saying grip isnt great just sayin I cant afford to spend 400 on tires a season lol. I got too much other shit going on. I dont race and I ride I'd say once a week with varying terrain not many rocks.

You don't have to. Keep an eye on sales. I used to get hard compound rubber for the same reason. I destroy soft rubber (including maxxis) halfway through a season. I bought 4 kenda hellkats in the RSR rubber at $40 CAD each. Should last me 2 seasons, maybe even 3. This is my first time running an extra soft compound and the grip is absolutely worth the short life. I would never pay full retail for tires (or any bike part)
