    Demos and Saint - what are people using?

    For the past two seasons I've been running Saint M825 cranks in my SWorks Demo with the SRAM PF-BSA adapters. Needless to say they are creaky and I'm constantly having to press them back in.

    Plasti-Dip for Frame Protection

    Has anyone ever tried clear Plasti-Dip as a protective frame coating?

    2001 Boxxer 6" Spring Colours

    I'm rebuilding my old 01 S Works Team Downhill and need a stiffer spring for the forks. They are 6" Red Boxxers with silver springs which are too soft. Does anyone remember the colours for 99-01 springs. They changed around a bit for 02, then again 03-04 but I can't find anything on 99-01.
