WOW!!! I bet you've never even tried one. I also bet that you state your opinion on what you heard other people say. You cant say something bad about something else if you'va never actualy tried it or had a bad experience with the product.

I have a khs lucky 7. I owns pretty bad! Never had any trouble with it what so ever. I brought it in once for a tune up since I got it in June and it was just to ajust the derailler.

I fell so many times while doing downhill, its not even funny. Still, everything on my bike is in one peace and works great! I love my marzocchi 66's!

The Fox vanilla at the back works pretty good also. People will say "the vanilla is shit" but thats not entirely true. It is actualy a very good shock. Although Id love to have a DHX 5.0 (for more smoothness in the back).

All in all, the lucky 7 is a solid build! It wont break anytime soon (unless it "falls" down a 60 foot cliff) lol.

Also, people complain about the brakes. Stoker trails. They are fabulous. A brake cant be bad (unless they are hayes 9's). If someone has trouble with their brakes its either because they need to be bleeded, the bads are worn out or they didnt ajust them right.

Your absolutely right. I thought the 7 was a completely different bike my bad. I still dont know about khs though That justs scares me away from buying one. How much do they sell for anyway?

Uhm.. never happened to me.
How could the seat tube hit the frame anywaise?
The shock is placed horizontaly and the seat tube its placed verticaly.
They kinda form a 90 degree angle.
I dont see how it could hit it.
Where did you hear this?

I had heard that the tire is likely to hit the seat (if its at its lowest) when bottoming out the rear shock, but after talking to the bike shop and tryining different thing, I found that it was impossible.

The only bike Ive seen something like that happen to, is my friends stinky.

It hits the seat if the seat is to low but after like 10ft to flat lol
now that my shop went out of business i can say that i got mine 1900$ new, first person in ottawa to get it and ive raced on it, went to whistler for a week of non stop gnarly riding and rode hard all year and there was not one single problem with the bike what so ever, how ever i changed the rear shock to a DHX 5.0 but still this bike is a great bike. I actually went down on travel size to this bike and it was the best decision ive ever made
