Cheers. I like it a lot. I've played around with the shock a lot and seem to have found a happy medium for where I ride. It soaks up the big stuff and handles pretty well on the way down. It's pretty heavy but the seat is quite forward so it helps you put the power down when pedalling up hill. Have you had a test ride?
Can't give you anything less than a ten, built my AS-X in the same way, to be moreusable than just DH. looks C H U N K Y ! I prefer Marzocchi forks too.
Cheers. I'm not in a hurry to change the forks just yet. They are working brilliantly at the moment. Not sure what I would get though. I'm a bit of a Marzocchi fan at heart.

- Manitou Travis 180mm, 1.5" steerer.
- Bontrager Big Earl cranks, E13 40t ring.
- Bontrager Big Earl wheels and hubs.
- Bontrager Big Earl handlebars.
- E13 SRS MTX.
- New style Shimano XT rear derailleur.
- Bontrager Big Earl pedals with longer pins.
- Hayes HFX Mag brakes.
- Maxxis Highrollers.
Front bearings have gone and rear wheel is buckled so I have just bought some white Halo SAS wheels. Also got some white Funn FatBoy handlebars and grey Funn Combat grips coming. Will post some new pics when fitted.
Hi, rotors are Alligator Ti-Ni. They don't warp and jingle like the Hayes rotors. Also a bit lighter. I'm also using Unex pads with the Kevlar layer to get rid of heat. Seem to work OK. Got both from fleabay. Yes the brakes are standard Hayes but with BFL levers.
Hi, cheers for the vote. I use it for everything. Downhill, ripping up the trails and dirt jumping. It's actually quite a good climber as well. Got some upgrades on the way.

Nice bike. I have the same one but 2005 version.
What are the rotors? I'm guessing they are standard Hayes HFX Mag brakes?
Rate My Ride,
