Nice bike. Really jealous, thinking of getting a DH rig for myself sometime this year.

Before you take it out for a serious blast i would reroute the front brake cable though, its supposed to go on the inside of the fork leg to prevent it getting damaged if you drop the bike on that side.

Damn you.. every time I convince myself I don't need a DH rig someone else goes and buys one and gets me thinking again!

Very nice Paul, enjoy!

Cheers guys, looking to get it out soon :D

Need to make sure the springs are right for me before I venture out. Think the front might be alright but not sure on the rear as 350lbs. IF its wrong, anyone got a 400lbs / 3.25 inch stroke steel spring they want to part with :) longest length I think.

Hey Grin - just measure ur sag using the bottom out bumper and a ruler - remember to wear helmet and shoes if u can to replicate riding weight. Your stroke will be 3 inches or 76.2 mm so a good sag range is 19mm (25%) - 26mm(35%)

I run 33-35% on mine but my shock does seem to work well with more sag than less.

I have a 400 3.25 spring ready and waiting should you need it
