Looking trick now dude! just need a matching conti on the rear, get your x fusions fitted and she'll look tidy!

cyfa89 (Dec 28, 2012 at 10:31)

No matching conti, just trying the front. Though i do have rubber queens. That muddy mary is an awesome tyre.
Will do soon

now that look cleaner already! loving it mate, hows it ride?

Thanks a lot

Its nice. Heavier than i expected but havent had a dh bike for ages. BUT it pops well so dont notice it. Will probably get singles instead of chopping the steerer. Saddle is the grey/black one which was spare thought it goes. Not sure if to put the m4's i have on it though, they are silver.
Not given it much real abuse though. Im not amazing so took it real easy on the wet roots at cann.

single pivots are always pretty poppy

singles could be cool, or 2010 boxxers

cyfa89 (Dec 16, 2012 at 15:11)

Boxxers would be ok. Been looking at x fusion vengeance. Im not heavy or anything so singles should be fine for me.

AVOID X FUSION, all the forks i've ridden have been appalling, felt as bad as sr suntour, no joke

cyfa89 (Dec 17, 2012 at 9:22)

Ooops! Won some now. I probably wont notice anyway. Whats so bad about them? I thought they were from same factory as fox?

chazdog (Dec 17, 2012 at 9:34)

well i've only ridden demo ones that were badly in need of a service, didnt leave a good impression

cyfa89 (Dec 17, 2012 at 10:34)

Hopefully in need of service is the key point. These should be ok i hope.

chazdog (Dec 18, 2012 at 5:13)

well they'll certinly be better than the old 888's thats for sure

cyfa89 (Dec 18, 2012 at 6:23)

they are 06 drop offs.

chazdog (Dec 18, 2012 at 14:01)

they'll be even more betterer then

cyfa89 (Dec 18, 2012 at 14:35)

I thought youd say that. Think the drop off was an oem too. Its ok for me so if this is base then it can only get better.

Looks nice mate. Bit steep on the H/A?

cyfa89 (Dec 18, 2012 at 14:45)

Normally how i prefer it for more responsive handling. The corwns are low as hell with the long steerer too though. Shoul dhae some others coming and get it neatened up.
