[ZEDMAN]

how does the loki ride with a 120mm fork? it says for 80-100 only, is it way chopped out?

[ufdff15]

it will be very steep

if u want to use a 120mm fork why dont u get a titan... its like a urban bike too

[Cash-Money]

so if i was running a 24" rear and a pike (95-140) i should go titan over a loki?

i would go with the titan since its rated for the 4-6 inch forks. i am going to run a pike on my loki but if you put a 24 and if you run the pike taller i think that it would throw the geometry off. i have a pike in my titan and it makes a super sweet all around bike.

once you decide, why don't you look into their sponsorship program?

Agreed... Titan if your gonna run a 5 inch fork....

I set a lot of sag on my DJ, and it's modified with HSCV carts from a z1... so I prolly only have 4 inches of travel... I am reducing the travel to 100 overall anyway on that fork, not because it feels raked out, but because I race on it, etc....

anyway, it doesn't feel too raked too me, but an actual 5 inch fork, I could see that slowing down your steering, making it kinda clunky....

I run dual 24's, as well... fyi.

I have a Titan, as well... last years model, love it, I got the LOKI for the slightly shorter chain stays, top tube, and mildly higher BB...
had a great DJ session today... feels awesome. Racing manana.

Wow, pretty..... :drool: :drool: :drool:

[ufdff15]

Thanks i just put a Sherman Jumper 110 on it yesterday and looks even better. The front end dropped about 1 1/2"-2"

[rpk1988]

I love the Sherman Jumper, that fork is super sweet.

[ufdff15]

it's the new '05 110mm version. No more 80mm which is what i wanted, but the 110 will do.

[rpk1988]

Hell yea, I prefer a little more travel. I was thinking about buying that fork but I dont want to pay taht money. I was going to try and get that Camo one from the Specialized P.3 but I couldnt get it through my shop becuase it is only for the Specialized.

[Evel Monkey]

They should have put h dropouts on the loki frame.

[ufdff15]

Horizontal Drops would have been nice but I use a Rennen tensioner and it works perfectly. But they have a Steel frame coming out with horizontal and DJ/street geo it should be real nice, it will probably be my next frame.

Looks very nice.....

I got 2nd out of 3 tonight on mine at the BMX track :p


So, the Jumper? You likey? Is it pretty solid? Feel like it's gonna hold up without a lot of maintenance?

[ufdff15]

i haven't got to ride it yet, but with my experiance with the sherman line it will hold up and need some maintence annually. Mine is setup with x-firm ride kit and TPC. The fork goes through it travel very easy for the first 70mm then it feels like it just about bottoms out so the last 40mm is extremely stiff. FYI I weight 220lbs

I heard they are coming out with a whole bunch of new frames. FS ones too. I really am anxious to see whats new.

[ufdff15]

They proto fs frame look really nice, but it will be a while until they are released.

[rpk1988]

When do you think they will be released? I am anxious to see prices and frame design.

[ZEDMAN]

towards the middle of the year is what they were talking about hopefully.

[musicman]

any pics of the fs frames?

[ufdff15]

nope no pictures yet
