I just pushed the button on my chameleon carbon frame custom build. it's gonna be sick. gonna go with the marzocchi z1 160mm fork and 29" wheels. was very interesting hearing about your experience with the carbon wheels!

who cares whats alive or whats dead, what the trend is or not? just shred some shit and have fun. this is not a gap commercial.

when are we hittin that shit gypsy?

nice 1

duh that's a teeter totter

which trail is this? looks sick

where's the landing ?

that stunt is a bitch ! good ol seymour…

nice pic !

where is that?

anyone out there still freeride? looking to hook up a shuttle this Sunday for cyp/Seymour/etc. can take 4 bikes...

how about weekends? i'm in town and looking to hookup for freeride shuttles. can carry 4 bikes. Seymour? cyp?

I recently found that these loosened and I lost them on the trail. anyone know where I can get a spare? ok to ride in the meantime with only on set? :S

walleater - which type of headset would you recommend?

yup, i managed to remove the race but it cracked. sucker was on there pretty good (maybe someone glued it)

can i use the Park Tool HHP-2 Revised Head and Hanger Cup Press to get the race on the new fork (once i buy a new race of course)? the only reason i ask is i got one.

might be easier just to buy a new headset at this point… it's pocket change compared to the new fork :S

awesome thanks. what is this magical ABS pipe and where can I get one?

hey folks, :fro:

i'm replacing my boxxer race that came stock on my 2011 norco dh race with a marzocchi c2r3. my norco came stock with a fsa orbit 1.5" according to the specs on their site. after taking everything apart, i'm a bit stumped on how to remove the bottom cup thingy from the steerer. it's on there pretty tight. i'm supposed to remove it right? cause without it, the fork sits pretty loose…

here is the old steerer:

here is the new one:

any guidance much appreciated.

cheers!

ohhh its a 29er. I doubt that would work for me since i'm already destroying mavic 729 wheels pretty easily. I think I at least need to stay at a 26er. anything comparable in 26er? what about titanum

hm that's pretty light… i'm about 175 (lbs). yeah I have a 8 and 9" travel dh bike for the shore and park stuff. did you get your frame separately?

hey folks, I'm thinking of getting a new frame for my urban assault/commuter bike. I've been riding a 2005 sasquatch for 10 years and it's become a bit of a pig after I've broken and replaced pretty much everything except for the frame with beefier and better parts. also my daily commute has grown to almost an hour, so would be nice to have something that pedals a bit better, and still allows me do the stupid things I love to do on the way downhill back home (flat drops onto pavement and such).

would a hardtail carbon frame be a bad idea? I remember hearing they can fail catastrophically and wondering if anyone has any experience with this on the newer frames. or should I just go chromoly? a buddy recently gave me a dmr trailstar chromoly frame, but it's a touch small for me and the geo seems a bit awkward for pedaling.

any insight much appreciated!

cheers
