 How is 66 working?

I have Norco Six Three'07 with All Mountain II and thinking about some for upgreade in near future.

 They work well, suit the bike nicely. If you have the cash flow go for Lyriks though, lighter and will still be nice and strong.

 And I see RP on rear. What is travel now? (with FOX VAN R I have 160/150 - AMII) Does it work smoothly?

I am just starting more gravity riding and wondering how much the frame will hold and what upgreades are a must. Propably chainguide and some better crank. Fork and wheels for shure...

 The air shock works well, but i think it would be better with coil, or maybe a PUSH tuned air shock that suits the bike. New forks would be a great upgrade if you wanted a more gravity orientated bike. Some 66s or Lyriks. Dont go over 160mm of travel though.

The frame is suprisingly robust. Obviously it has limits but it'll put up with a lot. Wheels are a good upgrade, some Mavics or DT Swiss rims are a good place to start, then Pro 2s or Halo Spin docotrs seem to be a standard hub to go with (Or go NS as they're polish too, i think..).

Cranks should be okay. Don't fix them till they're broken i guess is the motto there. Chainguide is very much what you like the look of, they all do the same job at the same price.

 Yeah, I think those frames are designed for explicite travel - and it is all measured and math covered, so going over frame travel is a bad idea - crash and even...

Maybe some 66s just with less trevel (service made). What do You think about 55s ?

Yeah, factory singletrack wheels are well... just a start. But I think for some moderate freeride so upgread will be needed in future.

I think for more DH/FR I will have to get another bike, but still with Horst Link... it rox.

The cranks are Truvative Blaze... but I think change will occure when I brok tem. Changing FD to chainguide is something what I have in mind for sometime... for example to Truvative BoxGuide or something like that.

Anyhow thank You for lot of information Smile
