NSMB - 2013 - DH/FR Build thread

This is the "big mountain" and "park" bike, as I don't really have a category DH bike. Not the newest tech, but the bike just goes and goes and still is super fun.

It's gearing is more setup for Eagle Mtn, Fromme, and Cypress, given that we don't shuttle. So 34 up front and 11-36 10spd rear pretty much allows me to pedal most anything with limited walking. So much better with an air can on the back, especially when dialed in by the good folks at Marz.

Goes as fast as I need it to go and great on A-Line in it's slackest 7" position while still progressive enough for drops and bitter failures.

Similar style of bike as my Scythe for Mrs. WH's do-it-all big bike. This is her park bike, her Cypress Bike, and her Eagle bike, hence the double up front… still gotta' climb. Suspension front and rear all tuned by SuspensionWerx so that a 105lb lady gets the full 7". Anyone wanna' feel a really really plush Totem????

Nice!:rocker:

Here's my ride for 2013. Changes are Marzocchi 888 RC3 evo v2 up front, replacing a Fox 40RC2 Kashima, and a Marzocchi Roco World Cup with Ti spring in the rear, replacing a DHX RC4 Kashima. I decided to make the leap to Marzocchi because I like my new 55STA on my AM bike and I've heard really good things about the new 888's. So far so good, butter smooth and I've only bottomed once (rider error). No more arm pump, it almost makes riding too easy. Haven't tried the Roco yet because I just blew up my Fox last weekend, but it did shave a lot of weight over the steel springed fox.

Also just put an X0 drivetrain on it because it was kicking around the apartment.

Oh yeah.

Hells ya Dantes, this is my banshee before I put the 888's on and after the 40's.
