Recycle that front tire.

11 0

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 17:44)

Don't recycle that joke. It sucked.

nwatkins (Aug 24, 2011 at 17:51)

That joke and that tire both suck haha.

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 17:55)

I can agree to that.

BEAUTIFUL terry

cant wait to try it out! whats she down at now?

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 21:33)

Haha, like 24.

nouser (Aug 25, 2011 at 13:49)

it went up?! or did you lie about the weight of it with the fox?

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 21:17)

Definitely went up. Bar + stem + seat + tire. 23 was with the eclat, mac II, and the other bar.

dylaine (Aug 26, 2011 at 9:52)

Do you know if they make 20" 'rollers?

sherbet (Aug 29, 2011 at 23:18)

Doubt it.

seraph (Oct 16, 2011 at 23:43)

They do. They make 20x1.75, 20x1.95, and 20x2.2 Holy Rollers.

sherbet (Oct 16, 2011 at 23:43)

I was wrong.

seraph (Oct 17, 2011 at 0:31)

True story.

dylaine (Oct 17, 2011 at 8:16)

Damn. I don't even have a bmx anymore

seraph (Oct 17, 2011 at 10:55)

Oh well. Now you know.

miskolczilaci (Aug 25, 2011 at 13:20)

what is the travel of the fork?

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 18:18)

dkidd (Aug 25, 2011 at 14:01)

big fan of that geo... now if only it came in a longer top tube!

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 18:10)

I'm loving it. Meant to ask you something; the fork's currently got 190-200 psi in the positive and negative chamber. The recommended settings were taken off before I remembered to look. Am I gunna ef it?

dkidd (Aug 25, 2011 at 21:00)

lol... guess my reply got deleted...
The max recommended pressure is 140 psi in both positive and neg. for a 200lb+ rider. I have had them up to 160psi before... but it's obviously not suggested by SRAM. They should in theory be able to hold well over 200 psi, but just in case I'd drop the pressure a bit.

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 21:13)

Any way to keep it stiff and drop the psi?

dkidd (Aug 25, 2011 at 21:22)

yeah... MOco damper. steal one from an argyle.

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 21:24)

Hum. I'll try it.

skunkape (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:37)

Smells good

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:39)

The fresh scent of doritos and smoke.

skunkape (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:53)

Oh hell yeah, green smoke?

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:54)

All smoke is white innit? I dunno, maybe not oil or diesel.

skunkape (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:56)

Flares make green smoke..... And green makea smoke

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:57)

I've never used a flare.

skunkape (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:58)

I do, I get bored alot...

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:59)

Oh. Well then.

skunkape (Aug 24, 2011 at 20:00)

Bored**

merrybike (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:53)

looks fabulous man

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 19:55)

You look fabulous. Man.

merrybike (Aug 24, 2011 at 20:03)

akward...

thanks bro (L)

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 20:04)

Anytime.

crs-one (Aug 24, 2011 at 22:08)

Wrong bars, right fork.

sherbet (Aug 24, 2011 at 23:13)

Needs a riser stem or sumthin

crs-one (Aug 24, 2011 at 23:23)

Raise the fork those 5-10mm then.

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 0:19)

Defeats the purpose of putting a smaller fork on. I just need a high rise alloy bar, or a higher stem.

crs-one (Aug 25, 2011 at 20:59)

Ah OK. I thought the purpose of that fork was to save some grams and free up the 36 for another bike. So you did it to switch up the geo?

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 21:14)

Partially. Lower fork for a steeper headtube. Weight savings to come.

crs-one (Aug 25, 2011 at 21:33)

But now the morons have won, you're back to the awful District and that stem. Was Steal reely reeler?

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 21:34)

Nobody won, I just set my bike up differently lol. The other bar will eventually find it's way over.

gridlock (Aug 24, 2011 at 23:15)

What fork ?

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 0:19)

Rev XX.

gridlock (Aug 25, 2011 at 5:52)

Hows is it holding up, Can you pump alot of air to make it stiff ?

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 13:07)

Come down and find out! The first bit is a little squishy, then it gets super hard.

gridlock (Aug 25, 2011 at 14:01)

I should, haven't been to the park at all this summer.

seraph (Oct 16, 2011 at 23:41)

Insert "that's what she said" joke here.

nouser (Aug 25, 2011 at 16:13)

looks SICK now!

sherbet (Aug 25, 2011 at 18:18)

nouser (Aug 25, 2011 at 18:42)
