NSMB - 2011 Light AM/FR bike build off 4-7"

I know I'm a little short on posts, but I thought I'd post anyway since people are calling for more bikes/less bitching. :agree:

145mm rear travel, 150mm front travel
2.2 single-ply Geax AKA tires
15mm front axle/12mm rear axle

Nice…that's the Dixon, correct? Know the frame weight?

That is a hot looking bike. Nice.

Thanks guys. I don't have a frame weight, but if I strip it down I will weigh it and post up. I'll say that it is a very capable bike and the suspension works extremely well.

What kind of shock are you running? I've been wondering about running a coil on my enduro.

It's a DHX 5 with a Ti spring. I had to do some machining on the shock eyelet and link so that it would work properly. Specialized made a custom shock to put on the enduro's so I just had to match it. I also had to make a small spacer do decrease the stroke of the shock so that the seat tube wouldn't get mashed. Specialized is selling an "EVO kit" now for the enduro's. This is the only way to put a coil shock on an enduro without voiding the warranty.

So my bike has gone from this:

To this:

Mmmm stealth black. New Chris King wheelset with some nice light Stanz hoops, fork has changed to a fox 32 talas fit, new saddle and I think the next thing will be a nice carbon bar.

No weight till the summer when I get rid of that damn heavy winter rubber!

Weighed my Large '08 Fluid LT3 at 33.42lbs, 20mm, single ply 2.35 Minions, regular tubes, air shock, coil fork. Pics later :)

Sounds nice, those LTs are good bikes. Do you have the upgraded seatstay?

What air shock are you running?

Guess I'll play:

XL Knolly Delirium w/ CCDB - 37.5lbs

170mm Lyrik DH w/ Cane Creek XX II headset
DT EX500 on Pro II w/ 2.4 Advantage front, Sun EX 31 on Pro II w/ 2.2 Trail King rear
Chromag OSX Bar on 50mm 1.5" Thomson stem
Thomson seatpost w/ Chromag Trailmaster DT seat

XTR shifters, SLX fr der, XT rear der, XT cassette and SRAM 991 chain

Stock seatstays still. Norco wouldn't recognize they are a problem. I guess I have to wait until they crack?

Still running stock DHX 3 air, until I find a good deal on an RP23 boost valve.

Weird, when I asked about mine it was no problem and all they wanted to know was which dealer did I want it shipped to.

They won't crack, certain models made a "howling" sound when under braking. It was apparently due to "harmonics" with the seatstay? I dunno, mine did it, I got the stays change and it didn't do it anymore. I'm sure Norco would take care of you.

My rear brake screams like a Banshee. Time to call Norco I guess?

always a sweet spot for knollys in my heart
