Sounds sick! Keep me posted!
 |
|
|
|
|
Haha! Alright. Yeah, totally understand... Building a superbike costs!
|
|
|
Haha, I see! Yeah, or maybe the Evil Undead?
 |
|
|
Sure thing! Haha, why didn't you buy it? The Wilson is sooo sick!
|
|
|
No, I sold it because I needed the money to buy the 6point.. ...which is a great bike, but I've always loved the Sunday, so I bought myself another! Shit happens.. :p It's a DSP Dueler that sits on there! Stoked to give it a try!

Well, I haven't tried the RP23 too much, but if you are planning on putting it on a freeride/dh bike, I would definitely choose the Monarch Plus rather than the RP23 for that purpose. Reason: it has the same rebound and spring technology used on the Vivid Air-shock, and it is made for that kind of riding, whilst the RP23 is more of a xc/trail shock.

Cheers! Love the Monarch Plus, the best air shock I've ever ridden! It just works perfectly! But if you are in the market for a Monarch Plus, keep in mind that they have got different compression and rebound tunes to suit individual frames' leverage ratio.

Jaja, men fremdeles billigbillig i forhold til f.eks. Deemax Ultimate med samme vekt! Hehe, det går nok helt fint! Har lest litt om det der hjulsettet, og det har jo fått forholdsvis bra kritikk, så skal nok funke!
|
|
|
Alright! Såpass, ja :p Sun Ringle har jo kommet med nytt dh-hjulsett også, A.D.D. Pro! Vekt på det er oppgitt til å være 1995 gram, tubeless-klart det også
 |
|
|
|
That's some mean looking piece of machinery you got there! How's the Boxxer?
|
|
I never got the chance to try the Elka-cartridge, so I don't know. I got a pretty amazing deal on a new RC2-cartridge from Fox, so I didn't buy the Elka.

Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5" 2ply ST fremme, Maxxis High Roller 2.5 2ply ST bak
Funker knall til det aller meste, pluss at det kan være med å redde felgene dine fra bulker, iom. at de er greit mye tykkere vegger på enn Rubber Queen Eneste negative er vekta, men som du sier kommer du i hovedsak til å bruke den til downhill, og da driter man i det! |
|
Syntes den sank for mye sammen når man syklet oppover på den, og så hadde jeg en kollega som var veldig keen på den, samtidig som jeg var keen på å få han på sykkel, så han kjøpte den av meg. Denne er faktisk den som han der candyandy hadde på utfor, bare etter masse kjærlighet fra undertegnede.
foreløpig utrolig førnøyd med resultatet, veier ca 13,5 kg! |
|
Haha, nah :p More than happy with it as it is!
|
|
|
Thanks! Super stoked right now!
Yeah, it's a Talas 180! Went for the 34T ring, feels perfect so far! Didn't have time for more than two short rides today, but the bike feels absolutely perfect! Pedals like a champ, and feels very smooth and supple on the rough stuff I've tested it on so far! Weighs just about 30lbs now. |
|
Haha, nei, er du gal :p Skulle bare henge på skivene for bildet sin del
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, heard the same thing about the newer Avids.. Sweet! But isn't the standard Code a bit more powerful, or is the only difference the pad contact adjustment?
|
|
|
Haha, well, I think the new lever just looks really weird :p And I'm not too keen on the chrome plated finish.. Well, well, it's a good thing that a man got options, haha!
Yeah, I know! Codes are killer brakes! It's really awesome just having to 'tap' the lever gently to get the deceleration going, and not having to squeeze the living sh*t out of your fingers to feel some minor effect of the brakes(haha)! Is it the standard Codes with pad contact adjustment, or the Code Rs? |
|
|
Haha, yeah! Wondering about going for a 32T or a 34T chainring up front, just to make the pedaling bit somewhat easier.. :p
Yeah! My original plan was black/blue Avid X.0's, but a friend told me that they didn't take too much abuse, so he recommended the new Shimano XTR Trail brake, but I hate the way they look :p I love the way the Formula The Ones looks and feels from the Sunday, and a friend of mine have a 2011 GT Fury with the blue The Ones, and he would rather have Saints, so I'll probably buy the blue The Ones from him! We'll see! Going for a titanium spring on the shock as well, so I hope I'll get it down to 30lbs flat! Looking forward to this as well, soo stoked right now!! |
|
|
I've done some math about the weight as well.. The complete bike will end up at about 30 lbs, not so bad?
|
|
|
Yeah!
Drivetrain: Going for a black/blue SRAM X.0 rear derailleur, black/blue SRAM X.0 10spd shifter, Shimano XT 36-11 cassette and a Shimano XTR 10-spd chain! Brakes: I'll might be able to get my hands on a pair of these: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/5565527/ with 203mm rotor up front, and a 185mm rotor at the back..Seatpost: well, at first I'm going to go with a regular Thomson Elite Inline seatpost with a Hope QR, but if I find it necessary, I'm going to switch to a Rockshox Reverb post Yeah, pretty much a do-it-all bike! I got a bit tired of the Sunday just being a pure downhill bike, so it will be sweet with a more versatile bike! |
|
|
Ja, sykt lett! Var bare å trekke den Stans Yellow-tape'n rundt felgringen, sette på ventil, sette på dekket, helle en sånn miniflaske med guffe oppi, kjøre på med luft, og det var tett på første forsøk! Sykt happy!

I've ordered a 2012 Fox 36 Talas FIT RC2 180-140mm fork
Going single ring with a E*thirteen XC single speed crankset! Weighs only 666 grams with BB!! |
|
Loving it, matches the bike perfectly!
|
|
Oh yeah!
Fork and wheels are on their way as well! Stoked!! |
|
|
Not entirely sure about the complete spec yet, but here's a little taste of some of the parts that I'm going to run:
-Fox 36 Talas 180-140 Fit RC2 fork -Fox DHX 5.0 (as pictured) with a titanium spring -Stans ZTR Flow rims, Hope Pro 2 hubs, DT Competition or Sapim CX-Ray spokes -Rockshox Reverb seat post -A double chainset with a chainguide -9 or 10 speed drivetrain -Powerful, yet light and good looking brakes.. thinking about Formula R1? -Tubeless tyres I'm not sure exactly how "high-end" the overall spec is going to be.. I've got to be able to afford it as well..  But the overall idea is a pretty great spec, quality, built-to-last parts! Maybe a Shimano Deore XT groupset? I've seen the complete groupset for a pretty nice price at ebay! Well, time and money will show how this badboy will turn out! |
|
Skulle nesten tro det, men nei! Kjørte med 35 psi!
Virker som om det var greit mykt metall i felgen + halvdårlige linjevalg gjennom rockgardens som gjorde det der! Felgen er ihvertfall RASERT Tror jeg talte totalt 9 bulker (av ulik størrelse) i bakfelgen + 1 flatspot.. |
|
|
Yeah, it's the SS Mk I
Well, I've planned to paint it in a color called "Phantom Black Pearl", which is a very deep, shiny black color with "pearl effect-pigments" in it! I'm not that much of a fan for the whole raw look :pLooking forward to it! |
