People still ride dh bikes?
Yes. Well sort of, I ride a Scott Voltage which will soon have a 170 Lyrik on the front so not a proper DH bike but definitely no enduro whippet either. I pretty much only ride DH/FR so it doesn't make sense to half arse it with a jack of all trades and compromise on fun which the Voltage has tonnes of :D
I'll be rocking the large gt fury for 2015. Fast bike.
How tall are you?
What do you think of the bigger wheels?
Finally got some 170mm Lyrik RC2DH for my Voltage. Haven't ridden it properly yet though but they feel nice in the garden haha
I'm still a big fan of that fork regardless of other new tech's. YOu'll love it. Not to be pedantic and all, but holy sketchy short brake lines and rear brake routing?
haha yeah I know, I took em off my old hardtail so they're a bit short. Gonna get new hoses soon. They seem fine under compression though so it'll do for now.

6'2" and I'm still on 26. Looks like there's room for 27.5 back there though.

My mini v10 for the year, main bike. I have wheelset that will be about 2-3 lbs lighter, but until I get use to the bike I want to dent these rims. It's weird riding a bike with this much suspension, at low speeds its pretty clumsy, but it rails corners and anyting rough/high speed. I need to go to a camp/lessons, because it's way to fast for me. It's my first newish DH bike. And was built for what a set of high end wheels cost.
