magic mary front high roller rear is what i ran recently, worked pretty well

World champ road trip Yeah!!! Ahhhh the memories, What a balltearer of a weekend, the first time I took the young fella to watch dh, camped in the back of the wagon at the track, a few beers, meat, cheese. Rennie on the makulu, Pete getting the crown, how good was it. Still got the hat in...

Cheers checkpont22, Yeah she climbs well, point it up and chug away. One thing I did was put a CKing headset in, couldn't believe the difference in front end stiffness it made over the stock standard cheapo I put in when I built her up, well worth the coin

hope pro2 laced to mavic en821 Ive been rockin these for about 5mths on the niner wfo, they have stood up to 95kg-6ft1 dh punishment well and can be had from merlin fairly cheap for 600/700ish?. Finding tubless tyres that last with the local shaily/sharp rocks, different story.

Cheers, geowise-160 front, 155 rear, HA 66.5, wheelbase 1190, chain stay 443, SA 74 Its bloody good fun to ride and puts a smile on my dial every time i get the big girl in the air, climbs good if you got the legs but down the hill -YEEHAH!

She climbs Good I built her up about 4 mths ago, was doing some downhill runs and had an off, busted collar bone, finally got plenty of time to post her up. Upgrades, maybe get one of those 42t cassette extender jobies, and some saint brakes and a cc dbair for a bit more tun-ability. It rides...

I decided to get a new sled something a bit more suited for general trail riding, the makulu bike gets a bit heavy after a while. Up, down (about as much fun as the dh bike) and sideways the niner WFO is one balltearer of a bike, one bloke said to me the monster truck of mtb? It was a toss up...

Nitro01, I'm about 100kegs when kitted up and run a 275lb spring on a bos stoy at about 40% sag, I flog the bike pretty hard and bottom out semi regularly on some of the bigger hits. Depends on how much HSC damping and rebound you run as well as the tune of the shock. I chose the spring for sag...

Well said Brad, I serviced my pikes about a month ago after about 20hrs, I couldn't find the rs 0w30 fluid so found some synthetic moto fork oil of a bit lighter viscosity (Lucas 15w). Did the same thing added 10-15 ml to each of the lowers and used slick honey on the air piston with about...

Crank length? Interesting, I have the same bike, I've got 175mm cranks and find them to be a good length. I run mallets and sag at about 40%, not to many pedal strikes but I think it's got more to do with foot position being more or less parallel to the ground . 5 mm does make a difference when...

Good show looking forward to it, the youngfella and the oldman will pushing the big girls around, the big DH sleds,8 and abit inches of comfort Yeah thats were its AT, c'mon legs.

Camping at the track whats the go? thinking of heading up saturday and making a weekend out of it. Is there any area to roll out a swag cheers

Burners, I have a makulu and bos spring rubs frame were it goes through downtube, can you get smaller OD bos springs or use a fox spring on a bos shock? Has anyone experienced this or can see any issues, cheers.
