6 Pack at Whistler

[Bullit21]

Just signed up for the Adult Gravity Camp at Whistler woohoo!! I am probably going to get a new frame as my '01 Bullit Frame is getting old. I am looking at the Turner 6 Pack :drool: as a replacement and I would bring it to Whistler from Socal with me. Can this bike handle an '02 Super T? Anyone ridden this thing hard and will it's geo work well at Whistler? I am 180lbs my build will be the following:

Rear 321
Front 823 Ust
Either '02 Super T or '05 Z1 FR1
FSA Pig DH Headset
Easton Monkeybar
FSA V Drive Extremes
E13 DRS
etc.

Thanks in advance.

should be fine at whistler and with that fork.

[bibs]

you will be fine....actually thats should be a killer bike for up there. Have you ever been?

[ioscope]

Sounds good.
That bike will rock for the buffed out trails like a-line.
And you will be able to ride it on xc trails too!

are you E-stalking me? :D

[torrent]

when u come up pm me we will do some runs for sure.

[RogerH]

Sounds like an awesome build!

Your SuperT probably has shorter a/c than the new 6" SC forks anyway.

I plan to run a 7" DC fork on my 6-Pack, when it gets here...
(Same a/c height as -05 Z1.)

I'm going to be at the camp as well, and I'm bringing my (soon to arrive) Six Pack. I built it up like this:

Fox 36
Hadley hubs
DT FR6.1d rims
Kenda Blue Groove/Nevegal DH casing tires, 2.5
Race Face Atlas cranks
e.Thirteen DRS
Avid Juicy 203mm front, 185mm rear
etc...

I'm sure that the Six Pack is rated for a DC fork, so your Super T should be no problem. I don't know of anyone who's ridden one (Six Pack) at Whistler, but I've talked to some guys who have ridden RFXs up there and they said the bike rips. The Six Pack geometry is similar to the RFX, so we should be in good shape.

See you up there.

a super T will be fine on your six pack, in fact, it's an excellent choice. I have an '04 super T on my '02 RFX.

This is good info. I was a little concerned about my bike for Whistler this summer, but I feel better now. I'll be running just under 6.5" of rear travel and 6" up front with a nice 67 degree head angle and low BB.

DßR rode his rfx with a old 6" super t and was killin it there.

[Bullit21]

Thanks guys. I feel better now. I'll see you up there SkullCrack. You are going to run an SC fork? I am still debating, because I like the way my Bullit rides much better with the Z1 than the Super T

I've taken my RFX with '03 Super T (7") up to Whistler two summers in a row - the RFX did very well up there - you'll enjoy the 6 Pack all over that mountain...

this year the RFX (with '05 Z1) has to stay home - VP Free gets a shot at all that freeride sweetness

Not to derail, but you will love it, I had mine up there last year and it was ridiculous - so much confidence, so much fun. Like it was made for that shizzz..oh wait...

Yeah...quite literally... :D

I'll see you up there SkullCrack. You are going to run an SC fork?

I'm going to run an SC fork (Fox 36). I debated getting a 7" DC fork (888 with flat crowns or a DH40), but I've already spent way too much money this year.

[llkoolkeg]

Yeah...quite literally... :D

Hahaha...very judicious of you to show a picture of the broken handlebar vs. a picture of the broken RFX. ;)

Knowing how much more nuts you guys are around here compared to me, I can't even imagine all the brazen shi+ you all hit up there!

[OGRipper]

Yeah...quite literally... :D

Oh man that gives me the shivers, there are few things that scare me more than the idea of snapping a bar or stem like that. :dead: :dead: :dead:

[bibs]

Yeah...quite literally... :D
