Couldn’t agree more! They look heavy, and lets be honest not very good either, but I can't see it when I'm riding, so all that matters to me is that it rides well, and it certainly does! Plus brown is hardly a good looking colour! haha

 Haha Yes, I do remember saying that I would get one on your pinkbike review of the Quake - Which setting should I have the bolts in for DH? The higher or lower option?

 put the bolt in the lower one, slackens the bike up

 Good, thought so Do you have any other 7.9 owners tips and tricks for me? Thanks Teejay05

 set it up nice and soft, makes a huge difference! oh and ditch the heavy rims! they weigh it down loads

 Ok, Well I'm off on a riding holiday next week, so will get her dialed in there I think on the to replace list is: Rims, Saddle, perhaps tyres & Cut steerer. Anything else I should change? How much sag should I be running? 30%? Thanks for the help Dan

 around 30% is perfect yuh I'd ditch the kendas, they're not very good imo

 I was thinking that to, Maxxis Minion should be a good bet for me Just weighed her, a slither under 38lb, not bad - I'm think perhaps getiing Stans ZTR Flow rims, what are you running?

 minions or highrollers are the best all round Im on Mavic Ex729's faultless, light and strong + they look amazing!

 Something like that I dont know alot about the mavic range, but everyone seems to love them - So I guess thats a good start

 Ive been running them for around year, and I'm not the kindest person on rims, and they're still true, and only have one small dent

 Sounds good to me, I made a thread a while ago about this ( www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=85760 )And a majority did say Mavic Syncros rims dont look to bad either :/

 Thanks, Hopefuly I wont break anything to soon

 Thanks

 Grew on me to, at first I didnt like the look of them, but it looked better and better every look I took at one

 Thanks, all I need is a nice seat and to cut the steertube and she will be ready to hit the trails

 Thanks mate - I ride all over the place, Wales mainly

 Well there is a difference between what size I do, and what size it is capable of doing - I'm not sure how big the drops are, I'd guess anywhere between 8-12ft mabye more or less, really depends on speed, and there aren't any drops local to me to do, so I dont do them often - I use it more as a short travel DH bike since they are alot more DH trails for me to ride compared to more Freeride type trails, the UK has very little when it comes to freeride
