stinkybigd (Oct 12, 2008 at 18:00)

well if they come on specialize's bikes then people wont wan to buy it.

naturalhigh (Oct 12, 2008 at 18:08)

i doubt people really care that much. people know these guys ride harder than the average rider. plus people who are willing to throw down enough money for a dh bike like this demo normally change out the wheels anyways

stinkybigd (Oct 12, 2008 at 18:12)

ya you're right. but it still doesnt look good for their company.

konad (Oct 13, 2008 at 13:44) (Below Threshold)

like enough your the only person that thinks this could fall on specialized get it through your head its the wheel that got fuked not the frame and alot of wheels fuk up.evry slopsetly i see atleast 2-3 guys fuck up there wheels.well just so you know like every rim has broken so what are you gona do man,cuz acording to you no companie looks good.

well to all who says that specialized is unhappy about that. The truth is that you can fu...k your rims, your fork, all other parts and kill yourself but your demo will stay in one piecie
