I'm just thinking about the same.. I guess it does

It's a little more than lookin cool. What's your head angle now? How high is your BB? Any idea how much stress is on a 4" head tube with a single crown? What's the point of a DH bike with a single crown? I'm not trying to be a dick, I just want others to know the problems with this set up. Honestly I think you'd have been better off with a SX Trail, but if you like it cool it's your bike, just seems like a waist. And it does say dual crowns only in the manual.

1. I don't think anyone has ever bent a totem, they are like the beefiest forks on the market
2. The length of a Totem is almost exactly the same as a Boxxer
3. I didn't do it to look cool, I did it because I already had the fork, I bought it before I decided on what frame i was going to buy
4. I like the geometry of the Demo better than the SX Trail
5. www.pinkbike.com/photo/6473646 I don't think claw would be running it if it was dangerous, or it sucked

p.s. learn to spell, I am 14 and know the difference between waist and waste

Yes, does it hit the down-tube?

mgm1 (Jan 25, 2011 at 15:43)

yep

brodoyouevenbike (Jan 26, 2011 at 10:57)

that kinda sucks, washers?

mgm1 (Jan 26, 2011 at 14:47)

i have tubes to stop it

brodoyouevenbike (Jan 26, 2011 at 15:55)

Yeah but that means no X-ups

mgm1 (Jan 26, 2011 at 15:59)

ya oh well i wouldnt be able to xup with the normal dual crown any ways

hanley (Feb 20, 2011 at 23:32)

How do you like the totem for dh?

mgm1 (Feb 21, 2011 at 11:18)

I love it dude, super plush and it takes everything

ORgrown420 (Apr 27, 2011 at 16:23)

did you get that rear wheel from someone else with a new demo?

mgm1 (Apr 27, 2011 at 17:20)

no i bought it from specialized with the frame because my old wheel wasn't 150mm

ride808 (Mar 26, 2011 at 12:22)

maybe an external bb would put it out far enough to not hit the downtube?

stryke (Mar 26, 2011 at 12:26)

how would an external bb help the fork hitting the downtube?

mgm1 (Mar 26, 2011 at 13:07)

there would be more space between the crown and the downtube but i still think it would hit. it really doesnt bother me though

ride808 (Mar 26, 2011 at 13:40)

oh, how much more space do you need for it not to hit??

mgm1 (Mar 26, 2011 at 14:27)

idk

hanley (Mar 27, 2011 at 19:17)

How the hell would an external BB help the fork from not hitting?!

mgm1 (Mar 27, 2011 at 19:24)

there would be more space between the crown and the downtube (bottom of the headtube) but i still think it would hit. it really doesnt bother me though

look above you! haha

hanley (Mar 27, 2011 at 19:24)

The bottom bracket is at the cranks...

mgm1 (Mar 27, 2011 at 19:28)

he meant headset, it is kinda obvious...

hanley (Mar 27, 2011 at 19:28)

Except that you both said BB multiple times...

mgm1 (Mar 27, 2011 at 19:30)

where? i never said it only stryke and HIkonashred did

ride808 (Mar 27, 2011 at 20:51)

Oh ya, crap, ment headset, my bad

ride808 (Mar 27, 2011 at 21:46)

typo, it was an accident

freerydscott (Apr 8, 2011 at 8:42)

READ YOUR MANUAL "dual crowns only", you now have no warranty, congratulations.

mgm1 (Apr 8, 2011 at 19:52)

My apologies for somehow offending you...

gnarbar (Apr 9, 2011 at 11:13)

this is fail

mgm1 (Apr 9, 2011 at 12:17)

how?

mgm1 (Apr 9, 2011 at 12:18)

maybe you should try riding the bike before you make your misguided judgemets

carterwills (Apr 21, 2011 at 17:58)

Theres nothing wrong with having Single Crowns on a Demo. I personally think it looks sick!
