Nope. Thus why no VPP bikes have floating brakes.

well i have yet to try them on much hardpack and shale over hardpack. haven't made it up to whistler yet cause of injury. only ridden some of the shore.

yes, the 2.4 is perfect for the front, not too amazing in the mud, but for the tacky stuff it's amazing. i run a high roller in the rear and it's a perfect combo.

I don't have exact weights but they saved me around 350-450g. Performance wise gain is all in the reliability, they 100% better installation and system wise than truvativs...

Black Rock is in Falls City, OR. Look it up online or on youtube. look up Black Rock

I think I'm going for a XDX 2.4 front and a XR1 2.2 rear, they are both real slick tires

have you tryed them/

i like it! look like minions. cool. ill deff think about throwing some one

I know I read it. Plus I already know I rode the bike for 2 days at whitler and I f*cking loved it you should get one

lmao ask him what?

ya. i think im going to go with sunline silver bars. and ti coil to start.

Hi,

Haven't got a chance to weigh the SLX set yet. Maybe later. I will post it for sure.

tru dat, i guess im not betteer hahah damn bike makes me good!

beacuse of the path it feels faster? i know in the open stuff i have weight and gravity on my side and a very supple suspension that works bestg when going fast... it corners like no bike i've ever ridden... and it's the stiffest rear end i have ever had!!

a sloping 'C'... goes rearward for the first 5 or so... then straighten's out with a slight angle in... so rearward to straight... or almost straight

well like i said the demo is a sweet bike!! you probably would find the flatline a way faster bike.. but again.... mucho's heavier.. my buddy has a demo 7.. and he loves it but when it comes down to racing down schleyer or in deep at whis or even the north shore... my bike is faster.... or im way way better.. haha... (he's really good) but if i can get to an open area.... it's just gas on no brakes... lovely!!

yeah, ride one and you will be thinking the way i do.... demo 7 nice nice bike..
but give a flatline a chance

yeha it's a nice build, but the weight of the frame is worth the bike.. it's an amazing bike..
the frame is just under 13 pounds i think... ugh... heavy F"r.

hey, my bike is roughly 43 pounds
45 with dh tubes

i belive it's something like 43.33 or something stupid like that..
would like boxxer wc's to lighten it up 3 pounds... buttttttt they are way to flexy.. so .. eyes are out for fox 40s white with silver sanctions in the 09 models!!

Tell me what youve done and Ill suggest something new.

ya you do that

im not flying my ass out to colorado for a 600 doller frame eather. lol.

closest one complte to me is in like montana. no way im shlepping my ass out there lol

lol not sure what to do at the moment.

where? none of my friends have them, and they dont sell complete

wat?

ha ha thanks

well i havent ridden an sx so i dont know what im missing, lol i think i might go for the bass this season, and next winter, buy a sx frame and swap the parts. im not sure.

weight isnt to important. and a modest build. that i can slowly make a dialed bike. i wanna spend like under 1200 this summer. thats why im thinking bass. our shop sells the 09 for 1900. i get half off. so that damn cheap. idk.

all i know is that i want a decent spec list and a pike.

ya. no problem. all the money iv made has gone to the bike. well not true. i sold the stab, and that payed for most of it. i really want the sx. but i dont think ill have the money to build one up

ya, i havent technically made any money yet. lol

thats sweet. thats half the reason why i work in a shop. lol.

Brian Lopes shin pads do the job very well.

mine are great. I love them. I ride pretty hard and run only 15-20 psi in wet conditions, and they're yet to dent or bend.

Lol we have the same bikes!! and so does she: http://bikergirl89.pinkbike.com/album/Specialized-Family/

i love it!!!

one more thing..... Wear rubber gloves when working with that stuff.. Its pretty harsh stuff..

also when I got them stripped and dry, I used some 00 steel wool and just polished them up. Total time, 1 hour 30 minutes + 7 beers and good friends...

Hey man! It is easy to get the blue anodizing off the shocks control knobs. I just used Easy-Off oven cleaner (in the yellow can). Sprayed the parts in a bowl, let them sit a bit, and them wiped them off. I had to re-soak a them twice. But all in all, it took no more then an hour to fully strip them. Remember you MUST use the Easy-Off oven cleaner in the YELLOW can. I used the blue can stuff, and it did not work. The yellow can is a lot stronger. Thanks for the compliments!!!

Hmmm, so you're going to be stuck trying to find them in stock somewhere.

that's because big creek park is in Roswell, GA. Unless there is one in Denver area I don't know about.

If you didn't live in 'Merica I could get them through my shop. Tried your local Specialized dealer?

Pin'it tires are good - they roll super fast on dry trails and wear well. The S-Works ones have a wicked casing on them that pretty much won't pinch flat (I weigh about 200 lbs)

Ya, I might actually be going there next year actually. Why do you ask?

god damn, i cant wait!

nope.. weigh to much, not interested in buying another pair.

ya thanks

ya, id only want the super tackys. ill check. thanks. but if i cant find any, whats a good alternative

ill look around thanks
