i never would have thought that an AM 1000 could take a dual crown, doesnt seem like that strong a frame, it only comes stock with like 120mm travel

RecklessInsanity (Nov 27, 2008 at 21:17)

Actually it comes stock with 140mm travel. I've seen stuff like this done and it's done a great job holding up to whatever I throw at it so far.

Ã¿our rear disc is backward

RecklessInsanity (Oct 2, 2008 at 21:02)

oh wow i never noticed that! don't think it really matters though, still feels the same

konarock (Oct 3, 2008 at 14:57)

it feels the same, but it looks weird and it's weaker that way

RecklessInsanity (Oct 3, 2008 at 17:29)

really? how does it affect strength?

konarock (Oct 3, 2008 at 18:58)

i don't really know the reason but i know it affects it

RecklessInsanity (Oct 3, 2008 at 19:42)
