It was a relatively small drop, about 3 or 4 ft to flat so I had to keep my arms straight to get the bike to use as much travel as it did. The bike recovered from this instantly so it was a miracle we got the full bottom out on picture, or just fast reflexes!
Why a single crown on an M9? Because I can! Haters gonna hate...
And 180mm single crown with a thick headset (cause it's a straight 1.5) actually has a taller axle to crown height than a 8" dual crown with a flush headset.
Watch for future pictures where I will remove the "O" in the FRO acronym and it will hence forth be officially known as an M9 freeride!
Interestingly this is the only M9 I have ever seen that didn't come with the FRO headbadge but came with the classic flaming intense headbadge. It's a sign!
We took this photo to check how his bike looks like at the impact stage of a drop.. Since we don't have a high fps videocam, we used dslr plus my super fast reflex. Haha. .. Joey did not feel any harsh bottoming here.. The bike simply sucked it up like nothing.
Ah, hence my sarcasm equates me into a douche...Even know what the word means you twerp!
Since you ride a TR250 with a 40, wouldn't it make more sense to get the TR450...GET A SINGLE CROWN YOU TWERP!
hahahahahahahaha fontoker666 you would think your logic would make sense. But sadly you are wrong...again. Tr250 has adjustable travel, head angle, chainstay, why would i want a bike with less adjustablity for a higher price? YOUR RIGHT I WOULDNT. There for a Tr250 with a 40 makes 100% sense in my book, feel free to critique it, but i love my bike.
I personally know the guy, didn't it occur to you that the fork might be temporary? Think before blowing hot gas out of your azz. Do some research there are 951, 303rdh, with a single crown. But, oh wait you shouldn't do that on those frames, it should only be a DUAL crown fork bike, because elitist, know it all, such as your self think so!
BTW, how much did your Mommy shell out for your uber bike? Nice bike though
well as far as i see it, if he wants to buy an m9 and whip single crowns on it then go ahead.
@SJA59 you might aswell just dig a hole there. The m9 FRO also has all of those adjustments so think bfore you open your trap blurting out more pointless shit that nobody cares about.
