nah, iv not made any..,but i did find out about 2weeks ago that the forks that iv got on it, wer an accidental upgrade :D they shudnt of cum on the bike as standard, but leisurelakes sed that i jus get 2 keep them b'coz no 1 is at fault. was well happy wen i found out lol
cheers m8, yeah the fox vanillas r just the best...its gud idea that u puttin em on yors as an upgrade. Can hav sum gr8 fun n confidence wi them forks aswell
nice ride nearly bought 1 my self. Thing that took me to buying the orange was its more aggressive downhill behaviour, feels more sturdy and less twitchy at high speed which is the way i ride.
My crush is being resprayed under warranty, what colour should i go for, white or the plain madarin orange? (the orange isn;t like mine it has no sparkle) cheers n enjoy ridin
nah not really, its not an xc bike. dun a few all mountain ride on it, sum really fast trails and also just taken it to sum technicle parts of lee quary
Top bike mate bet you love it. love my 08 prefer the decals on 08 model but bet that air fox is the dogs. found the std tyres on mine grip great but are heavy and dont roll. just had demo day at my local cannock chase tried loads of bikes - cotic,santa cruz,norcos - rocky ridge is up there with em and at only a grand it takes some beatin, check crushorange my mate another top hardtail similar ride, good mods on his looks top. what ya think about green subrosas with black hope pro2s on mine?
just changed those hefty tyres for bontrager mud x for the rest of the winter,to help keep the speed up without getting bogged down, puttin on the spanks with big rubber when the drier weathers here, mainly trails xc riding with a few drops/jumps thrown in, try and take the fun line not so much the racing line, no lycra, no spds - kinda wot the bikes designed for strong frame more travel sort of light freeride without going to full sus, prefer hardtails sharper handling with loads of feedback, think you need to be a better rider to ride a hardtail fast there not as forgivin. will update pics as soon as.
yeah wud luk gud compared againt the white of the bike. Why hav u bought them or r u getting tehm? Iv already chekt out ya m8s orangecrush..nyc bike. He woz the one hu told me 2 chek out yors lol
this is a sweet rig dude,my mate rides a 08 ridge they changed the forks for 09 ,a really tough do it all hardtail.` check out pipus`s ride ,also check my crush which is a simular beast, cheers
cheers man, no a guy from leisure lakes n befor we got it i sed i dint want clippies on so he took em off an put these 30 quid White WTB's on...jus dont wonna rek em 2 much lol

pipus replied... on 28 February 2009
just changed those hefty tyres for bontrager mud x for the rest of the winter,to help keep the speed up without getting bogged down, puttin on the spanks with big rubber when the drier weathers here, mainly trails xc riding with a few drops/jumps thrown in, try and take the fun line not so much the racing line, no lycra, no spds - kinda wot the bikes designed for strong frame more travel sort of light freeride without going to full sus, prefer hardtails sharper handling with loads of feedback, think you need to be a better rider to ride a hardtail fast there not as forgivin. will update pics as soon as.

nice trail hardtail, its just a shame they flex so much but i suppose it depends on if you like a bit of flex with trail/xc bikes
jim bob sway replied... on 1 April 2009
the fact that it flexs (abit) is what makes it so good at what its built for, i mean, after all, its not like its an xc bike
